    Abstract: Techniques are described for auditing clipboard operations in virtual desktop environments. The auditing takes place by detecting clipboard operations that are being redirected between the virtual desktop and the client device and recording log entries containing information about each clipboard operation that was redirected. In order to reduce auditing potential noise information, the redirection process is modified to delay populating the clipboard and recording log entries until a paste operation or other request for the clipboard is detected. In some situations, the clipboard redirection may be blocked based on the auditing capability, such as in cases where the auditing cannot take place due to the client computing device lacking support for auditing the clipboard operation and recording the necessary log entry.

    Abstract: Embodiments are described for placing a watermark over application windows in a desktop. For each application window that is opened in the desktop, the system can determine whether the application requires a watermark, for example, based on a predefined list that specifies which applications require watermarks. For each application window that requires a watermark, a uncovered watermark region can be calculated where the watermark will appear. An overlay can be placed over the application windows, for example in a top-level window that does not receive mouse and keyboard inputs, and the watermark can be drawn in the overlay over the location of the uncovered watermark region of each application. As a result, watermarks can be placed over a plurality of specified application windows in an efficient and convenient manner.
