2 work sessions on the same XP! Is it possible? 1

[sylro]

Hi all

What do you think?
If a user works on a PC with XP, is it possible to open a second session through RemoteDesktop without interrupting the user? You know, just like in Win2003 Server. But what changes have to be done in XP Pro to behave similar to Win2003Server?

Thanks in advance

You're right, Lemon13!

Indeed it works!

Thanks!

I observed today that it doesn't work in a domain because in this case Fast User Switching can't be used.

Is it possible to force Fast User Switching even in a domain? In MS XP Help they say no. But maybe...

Any sparkling idea?

It works even in a domain. I didn't read that forum till the end to find the answer. Just a little annoying delay when the user logs off after a Remote Desktop session to that PC was happened (over 2 minutes).

Best Regards
