VMRC not working through Remote Desktop

I have multiple machines running Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. On all but one
of them, I can Remote Desktop into the host using /console then use the
Virtual Server Admin website to control the guests using VMRC. However on
one of them, when I click on the thumbnail and start controlling the machine,
the mouse works but not the keyboard.

This host machine is identical to two of the other hosts and I can't think
of why VMRC on this one doesn't pass keystrokes to the Guest machines but it
works on the others.

Thoughts?

No that's not it, you misunderstood my problem.

I have one Virtual Server host that has this problem...

From my laptop, I RDP into the host then open the Virtual Server
Administration website. When I click on the thumbnail for a Guest VM, I'm
brought to the "console" of the Guest. From there, the mouse works, but
Right Alt-Del does not work to let me log into the guest.

This exact process works just find with my other virtual server hosts.

You are sitting on the *host* and then using the *guest* via the
console and then *in the guest* you try to RDP to the *host*????
Doesn't this make your original session on the host go away so you get
a deadlock????

I have more detail... I just determined that I can send Host+Del by using
the Remote Control menu (remote control/special keys/send ctrl+alt+del).
Once I do that my keyboard does work. So the issue is that the host key
isn't being sent properly to the guest OS.

That would work as long as his host is a server operating system
