Anyone able to figure it out?

I googled and it's Shift, Fn, Option, F4 but it closes the window... Can't figure out and it's becoming a deal killer for when I have to RDP into servers or my Windows box for documentation...

That's for the whole screen on the Mac side. I need specific active window in windows. Alt-Printscreen does it on a native Windows box. I need the equivalent for Mac in a RDP session.

I know this isn't the answer you asked for, but Command-Shift-4 on the Mac side will let you capture a certain part of the screen, which is a roundabout way to do it, but will give you the desired effect.

You can also use the Snipping Tool within the Windows environment if you're on a Vista or newer system.
