    Remote Desktop

    Okay guys need some help here before going crazy...
    I am trying to setup a remote desktop connection and see exactly what the logged on user is looking at with out going through Windows Remote Desktop.

    Since its local network I don't have any password or want to setup a password.

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    Please, how much more automatically you think it could be made?

    If you followed my suggestion in my last post you have a shortcut on your remote host desktop to run the tscon command by double clicking it. Instead of closing the remote session from your remote client with one mouse click and leaving the remote host showing the Welcome screen, you'd need to use a double click instead on remote host to automatically close the remote session and sign the current user back in on remote host. A double click instead of a single click.

    Short of the remote desktop connection telepathically monitoring your thoughts and closing the session and signing the current user in on the remote host as soon as you think of it, it can't be more automatic. Sadly the telepathy and computers work not well together.

    How to automatically sign off inactive Remote Desktop Users

    Remote desktop can sign in as one user but not the other

    Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    You will need to add each user you want to allow to Remote Desktop to the user list on the target machine:

    Open the Settings app and go to System -> Remote Desktop. Click on the Select users that can remotely access this PC link on the right side.

    When the Remote Desktop Users dialog opens, click on Add.

    Click on Advanced.

    Click on Find Now and then select any user account you want to add to the “Remote Desktop Users” group, and click OK.

    Click OK and you’re done.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise
