Remote Desktop

Hi.

Maybe some of you have the answer to what I am trying to achieve.
I have a intel Quad core running vista x64 that I use only for my Media
Center station. It has no keyboard and no mouse. no monitor, only the TV.

What I am trying to do here is remote connect to it with my old Win98 computer to encode, menage etc my media on that computer.

So far all this work very nicely, but What I am wondering is is there a way
I can do this without the `Current User` on the media center to log off?

Because when I remote connect, the media center software and everything shut down. And since using Remote access requires me to set up a password to the `current user` when I boot up the media center computer, I have to enter the password ( and I have no keyboard connected to it) so I have to plug in the usb keyboard.

I thought maybe RADMIN 3.0 would be the solution but I haven't heard any success story running radmin onto Vista x64.

If any of you have a solution, I`d be very happy to hear it.
Thanks
Bronislaw.

Re: Remote Desktop

Yeah RDS Locks the Computer when u Remotely Connect to it.
VNC(RealVNC,uVNC etc) allow you to connect the computer Remotely w/o the computer Locking itself.

Re: Remote Desktop

Re: Remote Desktop

After many hours of searching, I found a file package called
Vista_Concurrent_RDP_sessions.rar
After installing it, I created a new User Administration Account, which make a total of 2 account on my computer.

Media Center Account

And the Media management account.

now that I add to setup password for my accounts, I used the command
netplwiz to make my Media Center Account to `Auto Logon` upon startup
and I can Remote access into it with the media management account without
locking up the computer. 2 Simultanious Users connected.

The patch works like a charm.
