| 425397 | 2006-01-30 08:44:00 | ive recently been playing around with logging into my parents laptop remotly under winXP. the only problem is that if someone is logged into the laptop and is activly using it i cant login, or if someone logs in while im logged in i get kicked, and cant use it anymore. this is somethign to do with XP only being liscencd for single-users. id imagine win Server 2003 wouldnt have this restriction. what differences are there between XP pro and server 2003. both graphicly and features ect, including but not limited to performance on say, 1.6ghz, 256MB ram, onboard video. do games generally work on server 2003? thinking of replacing XP pro with server 2003 so i can remotly admin their laptop. last time i didnt touch their laptop it took them a month to get infested. thanks in advance. I would suggest you use group policy on the laptop to allow 'unsolicited' remote assistance. Unlike remote desktop you interact with the current desktop. Alternatively there is a dll file out there from XP SP2 beta 2 which behaves like the equivilent dll on a terminal server. Combining the dll with a registry change results in unlimited concurrent RDP sessions. |

| 425398 | 2006-01-30 08:48:00 | if the extra services were disabled, basicly making it XP pro but allowing me to having multiple users using the computer at the same time from time to time... uuum no. There all sorts of other issues like the security settings are far more locked down in 2003 meaning you have to enable many things to make it as Home user friendly (venerable) as WinXP pro. I don't advise this at all. I was just correcting a few people suggesting 2003 can't play games, its most certainly will. |

| 425402 | 2006-01-30 19:36:00 | hrm how do i set up the group policy and where would one find the dll and what regestry changes woudl one have to make? Have a look at: sig9.com I'm not sure if the registry changes are actually necessary if you only want to have two concurrent users. |

| 425404 | 2006-01-31 00:34:00 | For those who think server 2003 has some sort of mysterious engine that cannot be used for gaming (ONLY SERIOUS SERVER STUFF!!) are pretty much entirely wrong. I didn't say it couldn't play games. I said it wasn't designed for gaming. There's a world of difference. And I guess VNC is probably the easiest way of achieving what Mirddes wants to do. I think what is baing termed "silent" VNC is that which means you connect, and only watch, but not interact. |
