Whenever I use remote desktop to use my computer, it starts a new session for Administrator even though Administrator is already logged in on my server. I'm just wondering if it's possible to take over a sessoin instead of creating a new sessoin for the user.... basically I've logged in to my account as Administrator, and I want to take over that session with a remote desktop connection. Is that possible? or does it always create a new session for every user?

Remote Desktop is on a one user basis. In other words, remote desktop is not the same as a terminal server connection. Remote desktop is the actual console screen. This was not available in Windows 2000. Since it is the actual console session, it will log off the currently logged on user. It has to, you can not have two people using the same desktop session. You can connect to an existing session if the other session is a terminal server session and you are also in a session on the server. You can go into terminal services manager and click 'connect' on the other session. You'll be prompted for the password of the currently logged on user and then you will take their session. Hope that helps.

Yes, Remote Desktop only allows one user at a time to be logged in. Another way to take over a session remotely is by using Remove Assistance, but it requires a user to be at the other PC to allow you to connect. Once you get in though the remote user can leave the PC. All you would need to do to automate the acceptance prompts on the remote PC is a script to automatically answer yes to the two prompts that will come up, allowing you to take control. You will also need to set a new expiration date for the request each time it expires. It's not an easy thing to automate, but it can be done via scripts. Hope that helps as well.
