Martin, I certainly have tried to understand the problem (I use all three, TS, Remote Desktop and VNC) but the bottom line is I don't mix TS/RD with VNC on the same machine. Even if it doesn't work some of the time (and my experience is that it does not work 100% of the time but may be because I am always the console session for my XP system) my requirement is that remote management MUST work 100% of the time and mixing the two doesn't do it. I use TS/RD on my XP systems and VNC on my non-XP systems. Do your users use TS/RD or VNC? Stick with what they use, or if they use neither the choice is yours.
That's just a practical answer and I know it does not help your understanding. If you were raised Catholic, you probably know what mysteries of faith are (things you accept with no good logical explanation - not to say an explanation does not exist but maybe you don't understand it). I consider this one of those and just go with what works!! Alan. Alan Watchorn Eshelman Appraisals, Inc.
