I use a variant of the Dvorak layout for UK punctuation. When I connect via RDP to one of our administrator boxes the layout is automatically set to US QWERTY.
Can I set RDP to ignore the remote machine's layout and instead use my own?

When invoking RDP, try in Options > Local Resources > Keyboard to set 'Apply windows key combinations' to 'On the local computer'.
In addition, if you control the Terminal Server computer, you may use regedit
to navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
and add a DWORD item named IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout and give it the value of 1.
This registry item is described in a very old Microsoft Support article, still true today, as a setting for making the Terminal Server retain each user's keyboard layout, so you only have to set it once.

By default, the Terminal Services client will map the local keyboard layout to the Terminal Server in the session automatically. If you want to configure it, we could try the link:https://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2010/12/27/terminal-server-remote-keyboard-layout/
