Question remote desktop connection help

  #1  
Nov 16th, 2007
Does anyone know how to connect using RD when the remote PC is logged out (showing the Task Manager)?
I've no problems when the PC is 'active' and my servers work remotely whatever their state of login/out.
Many thanks in advance.

shouldn't be any problem at all. the login will be faster actually, since that way you will not need to logoff the console user

I understand that this should be possible, my problem is that I can't actually make the RD connection when the remote pc is logged out.

Both PCs are in the same domain and if logged in can work together in perfect harmony!
