SUMMARY
=======



SYMPTOMS
========

The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client does not have the option of specifying
the number of colors or the color depth when connecting to the server. The RDP
client only supports 8 bits per pixel (bpp), even if your physical client
hardware is running in 16-bit mode.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design.
