IE8 - SBS 2003's remote web workplace is impacted

Installed IE8 on Vista
Used that machine to launch SBS 2003's remote web workplace access to
another Vista workstation.
Over the RWW session (web based RDP) the session will not support
shift-capitalization.
Tried compatibility mode and no go.

Any other suggestions?

[Crossposted & Follow-up set to IE Beta newsgroup]

Are you running Vista or Vista SP1 on the machine running IE8 Beta, Bitz?
Is the target machine running Vista or Vista SP1?

Are you running IE8 Beta 1 or IE8 Beta 2? Was the anti-virus app running in
the background when IE8 Beta 1 or 2 was installed?

FYI:

IE Beta Public Newsgroup Support: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta

Via the web-interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...xplorer. beta

Via your newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...texplorer.beta

[Yes, I understand that the link you may have used probably brought you to
IE General newsgroup. We're trying to get that fixed internally.]

Same issue with me: in ie8 on Vista SP1 accessing an RWW running SBS 2003 the
shift key dose not work. I have this problem when I am trying to connect to a
remote computer and I have to type in a case sensitive password also with
special characters.

Please discontinue the crosspost to IE General. Thank you.

Try using the Num pad with the decimal equivalent values
for a shifted character? <eg>

For example, let's take X. Charmap shows that it is U+0058
That's 0x58 or 88 decimal. So, does pressing Alt-0088
using the Num pad with Num Lock on, generate an X?
(I just did it. <w>)

The beta support instructions for IE 8 direct us to post here.

The issue is not with RWW, the issue is with the beta of IE8.

I'm surprised that they are recommending IE8 beta 2 users to use IEgeneral
for feedback.

Vista SP1
IE8 beta 2

I've already notified the SBS 2003 team about this.
