I need a server process to run with full access to the physical desktop of the server. I also need to view/control it's state remotely. My current solution involves a VNC Server service, but I want to have a more 'native' solution.
I tried using RDP's session shadowing, but it doesn't work for the console session: mstsc /shadow:3 /v:somehost.example.com /noConsentPrompt All I get is 'The specified session is not connected', while query the session on the server give me: > query session SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE services 0 Disc >rdp-tcp#2 Administrator 1 Active console 3 Conn rdp-tcp 65536 Listen FWIW, I configured the group policy to allow connections without consent. Is there something else I might be missing or this is just not possible? I may misunderstand, but this is fairly easy. You should remote to the server using your account, on whatever session you want. Then, from command prompt (on the remote server) or PS, enter: mstsc /shadow:3 /noConsentPrompt Don't specify a server name, you're on the server that has the session you'd like to shadow. You will have to enable shadowing in GP for this to work.
It is in both [ ] Administrative Templates Windows Components Remote Desktop Services Remote Desktop Session Host Connections Set rules for remote control of Remote Desktop Services user sessions Once you enable it (I know you said you did, but did you do it in both User and Computer Config?), you should be able to shadow a session after finding the session ID you want to shado using query session, like you have already. SWEET little program. Allows access to the 'console' session, the login screen, the boot process (if you use Intel AMT) and also allows to switch to existing RDP sessions as well. Multiple connection methods: MRC (their ridiculously fast proprietary solution) RDP, VNC, intel AMT (vPro).
Multiple authentication methods (NTLM passthrough/manual entry, custom credentials). I've used it for years, well worth the price. Let me know if you have any questions.
Also, for what it's worth, mstsc /admin definitely DOES connect you to the console session, but the console session is NOT the login screen. However, if you are intending to connect to Session 0 (which is not the console session), simply set HKLM SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Windows NoInteractiveServices=0 and then start the Interactive Services Detection service. If a service (or any other process) is running interactively in session 0, a window will pop up advising you and allowing to switch to session 0 and interact with the process To more thoroughly answer the question: There is no 'more native' (as in built-in) solution that will allow you to control the 'physical desktop' of the server. RDP will only allow access to the logged-in 'console' SESSION.
Automation studio 5 library files missing from google docs. It in no way provides access to the 'physical desktop' of the server. RDP is not a display 'hooking' technology, like VNC, etc, but it works fine for most purposes. If, like me, a person finds themselves regularly needing access to the 'physical desktop' of machines, a third-party solution is the only choice. I should add, this is why there are MANY third-party remote access tools offered by reputable vendors. Intelliadmin, Radmin are a couple others that immediately come to mind. Since I'm getting bashed I feel like I should add some more info.
