Hello

This procedure worked fine before XP Pro SP2:

- RDP to Win 2003 Server
- open Command Prompt and type "shadow 0 /server:clientpc"
- Now you are controlling the XP Pro console / desktop - the XP Pro
user can see what you are doing etc. and join in

But since SP2 I only get:

C:\>shadow 0 /server:Workstation01
Error opening Terminal server Workstation01
Error [5]:Access is denied.

furthermore Remote Desktops simply ignores the Connect to Desktops
option

I have heavily researched this problem and am familiar with Security
and Group Policy settings etc.

- Was this functionality removed from SP2?
- Is there some further system configuration required to get it to work?

Yes, I vaguely remember that several people reported this when SP2
was released. Don't know if there's a way to fix it.

I just want to makse sure that your connection to the 2003 Server is not a
console connection, i.e. you must NOT be connecting to session 0 on the 2003
server when attempting to shadow a XP Pro Remote Desktop Host.

Please respond and if this is not the case I'll ask MSFT is this
functionality has changed in SP2 or perhaps 2003 SP1.

Thanks.

You need to add a registry DWORD value to the workstations that
you wish to remote control:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

AllowRemoteRPC REG_DWORD 0x00000001

If you have already attempted a remote control of the PC
before adding the above value, you will need to restart
the PC for the changes to take effect. If not, you can simply
add the value and shadow immediately after.

An alternative to the command line is to use tsadmin. You
can add your XP machines to your favorites. That way
you can connect and see which user is logged on, and
right-click to remote control them if you like.
