Microsoft removed these features from the product because this data must be
sent over the Network, causing unnecessary overhead to Terminal Server Client
sessions. This is the reason the clock is turned off by default.

To add the clock to Terminal Server or RDP Session:

1. Click START, choose Settings.
2. Click Taskbar. This will open the Taskbar Properties windows.
3. Check the Show Clock checkbox.

Cheers!
