We have a number of 4D Servers which we run under a dedicated Windows Account. We use the same Windows Account to run all Production Servers on all machines. If someone needs to monitor the server they can do that via RDC using that Windows Account. That avoids any session confusion. However, it doesn't allow multiple users to monitor the same session and, since we run 4D Server from the desktop, rather than as a Windows Service, it also exposes the risk of the user accidentally 'logging off' instead of 'disconnecting' which causes 4D Server to quit. For these reasons we use RealVNC to monitor all servers, which is simply a screen sharing app.
