OK, why does this happen on occasion? All our servers are Win2003, most are R2 SP2. Our desktops are all XP Pro, SP2...
I need to open a remote desktop session on a server. I attempt to log in as a local administrator on that machine (not the account running on my desktop system). I am told that "I" (that is, the account on my local desktop) is currently logged into this server - do I want to log him off? When I hit the "Yes" button, I watch in horror as all my currently running desktop apps shut down, one by one, until I am logged off my desktop session. This has happened perhaps 4 times to me. Now that I've lost a precious 5 minutes getting back up and running (got a project engineer arriving shortly), any ideas as to why this happens? Once I learn to recognize the signs of "This will hose you!", is there a good way to back out and get a functional term session?
