Thought I would chime in.
If you login as a specific user and they are logged in (You take over their desktop, exactly as they had it) If they are not logged in and you login, (Its like sitting at their machine and logging in as you or them) If they are logged in and you login (Assuming admin rights, you will log them off and then login as the user overriding the session) I am assuming most of us don't login as the users, but I know in some cases that is not true, we will reset pw, take over control and then have them reset it. This way we are not passing out user/pw. We use UltraVNC via an internal .exe they click on from Sharepoint/internal website to initiate most internal connections without having to worry about any passwords.

I never said that THEY had to do the logging out...just that they had to be logged out. It will do it for them if need be. ;-) From: Steve Ens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 2:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Remote Control Application or it will log the current user out if something is logged in.
