Re: Remote desktop changed?

yes, exactly - it should lock the workstation and disconnect the remote
session if logged into again.  I'd love to get an answer as to when or why
it doesn't always happen.  It would be a nice thing if it was configurable.

Nope. I just tested it here, and RDP to a test machine locks the console,
and unlocking the console closes the RDP session. But that's not what
happened to the other machine yesterday...

This was a machine that did not have UltraVNC on the remote end, however the
admin machine probably did have it installed.  It's convenient, yes, but it
seems to be a major issue if you didn't know it was happening and the wrong
eyes were peeking in on what you were doing . . .

  Nope, it locks the local console.  Or at least, it always has for us.  :)

I thought that *was* the behavior if you logged onto the remote machine
with the same credentials of the currently logged on user???

I'm curious of some behavior we have been seeing that seems to be out of
the ordinary.

Normally when you remote desktop to a machine, the remote machine locks
and someone on the other side can't see what you are doing.  Just
recently I've gotten a couple reports of remote desktop sessions leaving
the remote end open so that it can be seen.  I didn't think this was
even possible.  Is there a setting that can be set to allow this, or
anyone else know what might be going on?

These are XP machines with SP3 installed generally.  I know it doesn't
seem to happen every time, but I have multiple reports of it happening.

Please reply if you've seen anything like this or have any insight!
Thanks!

I've seen this behavior on machines with UltraVNC on them. I'm not sure
what order the connections have to occur but using VNC in conjunction
with RDP has resulted in the station being unlocked AFTER the RDP
session had been closed (and I assume it was unlocked during the
session).

I had one like that yesterday. I was RDP'd to an XP machine and the user on
the console was able to watch what I was doing. Have not looked into why,
but it sure was convenient... :-)
Remote machine is XPSP3...

  "Remote Assistance" works that way, and RA is basically just "Remote
Desktop" with some helper infrastructure.

  And there's third-party remote control tools, like VNC, WebEx, GoTo*, etc.

  Depending on how you're getting these reports, maybe the person
doing the reporting is not recognizing the difference.

  The "remote admin mode" or whatever it is for Win 2003 Server and
later also works this way, even for the regular RDP client.  That
shouldn't apply to Win XP, of course, but maybe somebody found a way
to make it happen?

That's strange...usually the only item you see from the TS Manager is a
disconnect session not the end user seeing you
