Multiple Remote Desktop connections - second user kicks off first user 1

[k8277]

I just setup remote desktop on a host machine. If I remotely connect with Remote Desktop, I am notified if a user is logged in and I have the option to kick them off and log in.

My problem is after I make the intial remote desktop connection, if a second user tries to remote desktop to the same machine, the first remote desktop connection is instantly booted and the second user doesn't even know that he kicked the other connection off.

Is there a way to not allow this or at least warn the second user that somebody is already remoted desktoped in?

Does this help, without actually solving the problem?

Hi Linney

Thanks for that - something I have been wondering about and never had time to work thru all the scenarios.

Star for you.
