If the target computer is Windows 7 (or Windows Server 2008 R2), then Aero should work in the RDP session: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/06/23/aero-glass-remoting-in-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

I use Remote Admin (Radmin) to do remote administration on my company's PC's. Recently a user asked why Aero wasn't working on his Win7 pc. (We use very few Win7 PC's) Doing a little research, I see that the mirror driver needed for Aero effect isn't compatible with remote admin software (apparently this includes Microsoft's own Remote Desktop, too?) But it seems to me that what used to happen is that users could run Aero, then, if I needed to remote in, it would simply pop a little balloon up saying Aero has been disabled. Then, when I was done, it would work again. But now it doesn't seem like it's even an option for users. Weird. Has something changed just recently? Not sure why I'm just seeing this now.
