in [Terminal Services]

From: Boris Epstein on 12 May 2010 17:07 Hello there, I use RDP to connect to an XP box. Every time I connect the locally logged in user gets logged out. Is there any way to stop that? Is there a way to have us both (the local and the remote user) be able to use the computer, or for the remote user to log in view only (i.e., the get to only see what's happening on the desktop but not to affect it)? Thanks. Boris.

They both essentially work the same way, thru an intermediate server on the web, but they will do what you want. Fox7 "Boris Epstein" wrote: > Hello there, > > I use RDP to connect to an XP box.

For that we use "vnc". It allows you to see the same desktop as the user sees, which can be convenient when you want to explain something. View-only is an option, but by default you can also use your mouse and keyboard when connected remotely.

Thanks Rob! What kind of VNC server do you happen to use? Boris. |
