As a follow-up to my last post, I have isolated the issue down to the
following code in rfb_win32/SDisplay.cxx that was added since 4.0:
// Try to make session zero the console session
if (!inConsoleSession())
setConsoleSession();
This code prevents the VNC Server that is running in "User mode" from
accepting a connection if it is running within an RDP Session, and not
at the console. Assuming that this logic is not desired when running in
User mode, I modified all 3 instances of "if (!inConsoleSession())", and
replaced them with "if (isServiceProcess() && !inConsoleSession())".
This seems to have addressed my issue, and it is working again. I'm
hoping this won't break something else, so please let me know if this
change is not appropriate.
Thanks.

Hi Wez,
I was trying to help somebody out, but was unable to connect using VNC
(I received "The connection closed unexpectedly" errors in my viewer
after providing the password). No errors were being logged to the
Event viewer on the server side. In attempting to troubleshoot the
situation, I discovered he was accessing the box via RDP, and was
launching the VNC server in User mode from within the active RDP
session. Although I am well aware of the issues of incompatibility
between RDP and VNC ( I hit them all the time), I was positive that
User mode had worked for me in the past. I tried it on one of my LAN
servers (win2k server) and it worked (it was running VNC 4.0). So, I
had him downgrade to 4.0, and it worked! Likewise, I upgraded my LAN
server to 4.1.1 and now it fails. I also tried this on Win2003 server
and Win XP Pro and they all work with 4.0 and fail with 4.1.1. Any ideas?
If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks.
