US English keyboard layout will be used instead. You may choose another layout from your Client Settings. After you click Continue, the Terminal Server English keyboard layout is in use. This is true even if you only have the ABNT layout installed on the server or if you have multiple layouts installed and have the ABNT layout set as the default. CAUSE ===== This behavior occurs because Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, only includes the ABNT keyboard layout. Terminal Server Edition does not include the ABNT2 keyboard layout (Windows 95 and Windows 98 include both).
