I use the following to share two RDT connections on a windows 2003 server
Both the incoming connections are XP to windows 2003 ...... My question is at the bottom of this post.
USEING RDP to share a desktop on a Server
******************************************
This only works as far as I know when you want to share a RDT on a server.
This is because the server has the tsadmin program on it.
Initial Server setup In AD
***************************
1. To make RDP work on the particular Account first you must open AD then the "User'.
Click on the [Remote Control] Tab, check ["Enable Remote Control"] option.
2. If you want to allow someone to share the RDP session w/out the person having to click "Yes" to allow you to see their session, uncheck the option ["Require Users Permission"]
3. On the same tab change the setting from
[View the users session ]
to
[Interact with the session]
HOW to set up a connection
How to access the a RDP session
*******************************
connect useing RDP your WorkStation to the Windows 2003 Server where you are eventually going to share the connection with another user.
(If you want to test this out Open another RDP from a WS to the same 2003 server, this is your second user)
Now "run tsadmin" on the RDP connection on the server. Click on the RDP head that is not green.
Right Click and choose "Remote Control"
(NOT Connect, this seems to actually disconnect)
On the persons RDP desktop that your are trying to share & connect it may ask if you can have permission to join. Say Yes.
Your now both sharing the RDP on the Windows Server.
MY Question:
This worked well for me a couple of times. However now when I connect and the other person connects who connected first gets kicked off with the message:
Remote Desktop Disconnected
Your Remote Desktop Session has ended.
Another User connected to the remote computer, so your connection was lost. Try connecting again, or connect technical support for assistance.
How can I connect to the server and share the connection as I did before?
Thanks.
