- Passing local drives to the RDP session
You can pass the storage drives and any drive you plug in later (such as a USB flash drive) to the RDP session. To turn this on, in the RDC main page go to "Local Resources", find the "Local devices and resources" section at the bottom, click "More" and tick "Drives", which will select all your existing drives and any drives you plug in later. You can also expand "Drives" and select what you want to pass through
The drives will show up on the main explorer page in your RDP session. For example, in the following screenshot, "C on LAPTOP-blah" is the C drive of my personal laptop that I passed through
This is mostly useful when you want to copy things from your flash drive into the Group Server. Although technically you don't need to do this since copy board sharing and file transfer is already available for the RDC client. - High DPI related settings
If your laptop has high resolution and >100% Windows Scaling, you might see weird scaling behaviors when logging into the Group Server remotely (in most cases, the phenomenon is that the e.g. text, taskbar, and icons look extremely small). This is because (I think) my guess) the somewhat old Windows Server version OS Version 2012 R2 does did not know how to handle scaling properly, yet. If you RDP into a Windows 10 machine, I think the issue has been improved tremendously. But, you get what you get, and work with what you have.
A lot of smart people around the internet have already looked into this issue, and have some workarouds. For example, you can look here,

I have been using this solution for quite a while (hence you see the "Remote Desktop HighDPI" shortcut I created myself, in the first screenshot of this page). Although having its own quirks, it works okay.
