Hello,

does anyone out here know how to allow remote desktop logins with xp pro without doing logoff current user.

Is there anyway we can do this like modifying domain policy or anything like.

Please help me

Hi,

you can simple disable the Remote login in your System properties (Right click My Computer->Properties). Go to the Remote tab and disable the "Allow Remote..." checkbox.

Hi,

ok I understand your question.
Well you know that the forced logoff by a user if another connects is a wanted behavior. If you do not want this, either update to Windows 2003 or switch to third party Software like those from Citrix:

Btw, the Windows Terminal Services are a reduced Version of Citrix
