How can I set my terminal server up so that 3 different entities and connect to the same session and be able to view what each other is doing?
 
CFaulk,
Give each user a account, let them login (you are only going to be able to log 2 people in if your in admin mode).

Only the person who is going to connect to the other session needs to do this (the Remote Control):
Once logged in go to Start > Programs > admin tools > Terminal Service Manager

On the right hand side make sure the Users tab is selected, right click on the user you with to "Remote Control" with.
It will prompt you for a key stroke combination to exit. **remeber this combo!!**
Click on OK.

On the hosting session side a window will pop up asking for permission, grant it.

To exit press the key stroke combo.

====the resolutions MUST be the same on both sessions or it will not let you in.=====

If you need me to walk you through this IM me, that goes for anyone...

I tried this out, but terminal server will not allow the 3rd person to connect. All users trying to connect are members of the admin group. Could this be the problem?
 
In admin mode, only two people can connect via terminal at once. Also, I dont think more then one person can remote control at a time.
Try looking into something like PC anywhere or VNC (free I think VNC although slower will be the easiest and best bet.
