If by "interrupt", he means not actually controlling the console session, then VNC's a no-go either. Actually I don't know of any way to accomplish that.
It would be equivalent to "switch user" in a remote session without locally suspending the current user session. That's Windows Server Terminal Services Admin mode as far as I can tell, and you ain't gonna get that from a desktop OS. As an aside, if the goal is to actually use the Media Center interface remotely, that will fail as well... as it depends on DirectX video access that the RDP video interface doesn't support . -sc From: Jon Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 1:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: enabling remote desktop on vista home prem "so I guess I would need both the ability to rdp on to the laptop, but also the ability to not interrupt the locally logged in session too" That elimates RDP so I would look at something like VNC et.al. as the way to go.
