Server 2003 and Remote Desktop

[GGawaran]

Im fairly familiar with XP and remote desktop, and when you connect, via another computer, everything running and open will also show. However, with 2003, I am new to the OS, and im having problems figuring out why when I connect, nothing shows. Ive gone through the remote desktop options and dont see anything wrong.

 

Anyong give a heads up on why it might be that I cant see active running programs?

 

Thanks,

are you running in console mode?

 

---Properties of RDC change target to

 

%SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /console

You are opening a 2nd desktop session.. Server 2003 supports multiple users simultaneouslly. Try using a remote viewer such s radmin or vnc this wil also help keep u on the cnsole session.

to confirm your the correct one

 

open task manager on the server

 

goto users

 

ensure your ID = 0

 

hope that helps

As Guy said above. All you need to do is add the /console switch to the end of your remote desktop comandline. That logs you in as console, and if services are set to interact with the desktop you will be able to see the game console on the desktop.

Luckily for you there is an "edit" button here

 

Maybe we do need to add spellcheck for you

Do not forget me.....I desperately need the spellcheck too

Thanks guys. Works like a charm.

Just a quicky. Why not install the adminpak.msi from the server 2003 disk (located in i386)? Then you can have multiple remotes open and listed at once with a nice little check box for console.

 

Just a thought.

I tend to use realVNC I have found it works well and supports most OS's
