Remote Control to Console Session

บางครั้งเราต้องการที่จะ Remote ไปควบคุม Console Session แต่จะเจอ error ว่า

"Can't remote control Session (ID 0) because Remote Control is disabled
on that session"

แก้โดยการใช้ command line mstsc.exe /console แล้วให้ connect กลับมาที่ server ใหม่จะสามารถ control console session ได้



mstsc.exe - when connecting to Server 2003-based system will begin a new interactive session independant of the console session

mstsc.exe - when connecting to XP or Vista will connect to the console session as virtual interactive sessions are not supported

mstsc.exe /console - connecting to a Server 2003-based system will enable you to connect to the 0 console session


Once connected to your server, whether console or other interactive session, you can launch the task manager > click on the Users tab > view interactive sessions 0, 1, 2 etcetera.


If you right-click on any of the listed sessions that are not your current session, the options you receive are:

- Connect
- Disconnect
- Log off
- Remote Control

By this method you can log off or connect to any existing session.

Example:

The user is logged on to the home server via mstsc.exe /console from their home computer (session ID 0). The user closes the mstsc window and leaves their session active with tasks running. The user then connects to the home server via mstsc.exe without the /console switch and is then given a new interactive session with ID 1.


Wishing to reconnect to her 0 session and logoff session 1, she:

1. Launches the task manager
2.Navigates to the Users tab
3.Right-clicks the ID 0 session
4.Clicks Connect > the view then changes to session 0 with full interactive capability.
- Session 1 still remains logged in but will show as Disconnected.
5.From session 0 she launches the task manager
6.Navigates to the Users tab
7.Right-clicks session 1 and clicks Logoff
- Session 1 is now gone and the only active session is the 0 console session which she is currently connected to.
