There have been some issues especially in MS Windows with too high resolution, layout rendering, etc.
One idea would be to offer in case of MS Windows and macOS also the FreeRDP link at lab where RDP links are generated. In case of Linux there is xfreerdp link which could be apply also in case of macOS. In case of MS Windows there should be wfreerdp link, which is almost same, just first letter should be replaced. This in turn requires the FreeRDP to be installed in machines - it would be good to mention, e.g. with footnote that whenever needed, from http://www.freerdp.com/ there is possible to download, install the FreeRDP. Announcing to partner IT managers about FreeRDP installation requirement on classroom computers would be also appreciated. Prebuilt binaries are here https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/PreBuilds
E.g. in case of MS Windows there is suggested to take https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/wfreerdp_nightly_build.zip as it would be newer 2.x and more nowadays version than old 1.x one. After unpacking and copying the wfreerdp.exe to %systemroot%\System32\ folder there would be enough to have ability use almost same command like under Linux is xfreerdp - just replace "x" with "w" in the beginning - wfreerdp: cmdwfreerdp --plugin cliprdr -g 90% -u username -p password server.itcollege.ee:xxxx powershell.\wfreerdp --plugin cliprdr -g 90% -u username -p password server.itcollege.ee:xxxx
Also macOS is using old CoRD (last release 2012 https://sourceforge.net/projects/cord/files/cord/) by default and FreeRDP would be also here a good improvement. Here would be even easier as the same xfreerdp command from Linux applies here too.
In GNU/Linux there is since Ubuntu 17.10 available the package freerdp2-x11. For older Ubuntu versions there is Styrion repository for FreeRDP 2.x versions or also freerdp-x11 package (which is v1.x) can be used.
