use remote desktop to make an .RDP file that connects to your win2k3 server
change the settings etc if you need to, then save the file. open the RDP file with notepad
at the end of the file add this line
connect to console:i:1
this will basically let you remote into the current active console session of the win2k3 server. however on the actual console screen it will go blank/locked screen. you cannot have two users sharing the session in remote desktop with 2k3 AFAIK. for that you need something like pcAnywhere or use netmeeting desktop sharing.

Remote assitance will allow you to see what the user sees on their screen. It's basically just like XP Pro in this regard.
Quit crapping on peoples threads.

The 3 enterprises I have worked for have used some form of VNC as a standard.
You can't root a windows box.
I'm not sure if it is still used or not, but VNC used to get some use in places I worked for.
The ability to use the /console switch in 2k3 pretty much eliminated any need for VNC in any environment I dabble in. Not to mention the significant lag issue VNC variants suffer from vs RDP.
but, doesn't that require you know the password to the user logged in to the console? With VNC you don't need their password.
It's a server...why would there be anyone logged in at the console? Even if there were, you can force their logoff if necessary. The point of going to the console (session 0) is to see any errors/popups.
Because that is what the op asked. I would guess maybe so he can support a server that he is not the primary administrator for?
