So I have a customized box running Windows Server 2003 to feed our video signal for our monthly powerpoint that we display on an LCD. I just connected the Server to the network fine and am able to see it from any machine on the network. I am also able to remote desktop into the PC. However, when logged in as Administrator and I Remotely connect using Windows Remote Desktop Connection, I use Administrator to log in but it seems to log me in as a different session. What I'd like to be able to do is take control of the PC like you would in Remote Assistance so that I can basically enter in on the same session as the one logged in, modify the powerpoint, etc. Right now I need to go back into the server room all the time to make changes to the Powerpoint and it would just be easier if I can do it from my workstation out on the floor. I created a Remote Assistance file from the server machine which seems like it would work but it requires someone to be down at the server to allow me to initiate the Remote Assistance and take control. Any ideas? Thanks

Try start run mstsc "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

Ended up using free version of RealVNC and it works like a charm!

Yeah, but RealVNC is buggy and not needed. Run Remote Desktop in console mode and you will log into the current session running on the console. Do Start | Run | mstsc /console When you log in, you'll log into the current desktop setting on the server. Delete VNC.
