You cannot interact with certain tiles in Windows Mobility Center when you establish a Remote Desktop session to a mobile PC that is running Windows Vista

Consider the following scenario. You establish a Remote Desktop connection to a mobile PC that is running Windows Vista. In the Remote Desktop session, you open Windows Mobility Center on the mobile PC. However, you find that you cannot interact with certain tiles in Windows Mobility Center. For example, you cannot use the Wireless Network tile to turn off the wireless connection. Or, you cannot use the Screen Orientation tile on a Tablet PC.

This problem occurs if you do not use elevated administrator credentials to run Windows Mobility Center in the Remote Desktop session.
