shingo Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have a question on remote desktop on windows server 2003, when I connect to the server on a already opened session, it seem to create a new session, not resume the already open one.Example : on windows XP, I log into my account directly and open a word document, then I can go to another computer and connect remotly to windows XP, log in and I will see that word document still open.On windows 2003, if I do the same thing, it will open a new session without the word document, If I go back directly to the computer, I can still see the document, but I can not do it remotly.Is there any option for the remote desktop to fix the problem?thank you.

Scarecrow Man Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I cannot answer your question, but I prefer TightVNC to the remote desktop built into windows. Its open source, so its free and it includes a server/viewer and you can also transfer files between the two computers.http://www.tightvnc.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have noticed the same issue, and I haven't found a solution for this, apart from each user logging in under his/her own userid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashoverride Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 If you do this often... longing in remotely why not spend a little money (oviously it is a business) and use log me in. then you can work on any computer in the world ... with internet that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 easiest solution would be using a third party program like Scarecrow Man mentioned tightvnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithonicfury Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The reason it does that is because the Remote Desktop for Server 2k3 is alil different.With 2k3 you can have a local session (the console), and a remote desktop connection going simultaniously with the same user (i believe it has to be the administrator, but Im not 100% on that.)What you want to do is connect to the console, which you could do from the command line remote desktop client.mstsc /v:yourserverip /console(and you could specify what height/width you want to use for the connection or it will default to full screen or whatever is the default setting for your configuration. youd just use /w:800 /h:640 for 800x600Or save the settings with the Remote Desktop client to an rdp file, and then run mstsc savedrdpfilename.rdp /console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
