Remote Desktop - mstsc - and locale

I have a problem with the keyboard settings:

I am running a late 2011 Mac Book Air in English with German keyboard. I have a VM with "Windows 2008 R2" installed in English also with German keyboard setting. Up to here everything runs fine. The keys on keyboard are where expected.

Now I am opening an RDP session (Remote Desktop - mstsc) to go to another windows server (also English language with German keyboard) and the keys are no longer where expected. It seems that the keyboard switches to English. When I am not running the RDP window maximized I can set the keyboard to English (which was initially German), which gives me back the correct keyboard setting (strange to me).

But when I try to maximize the window, I can no longer set the keyboard in the VM to whatsoever an I do have an incorrect keyboard in the RDP session to the windows server.

So where is the problem here? Any suggestion?

Regards

Sven
