Terminal Services is designed to start a new session when you 
connect, remote desktop is designed to use the desktop remotely, the 
two are not the same even though the same client software can be used 
to access them. So as far as I know you can not achieve what you want 
to with TS.

However there is another option, you could use netmeeting. I use that 
at work to control a desktop on a server from my laptop. Net meeting 
can control the actual 'live' desktop so you could have it configured 
to start up under the admin logon on the server and then access the 
desktop from another net meeting client.

The disadvantage with netmeeting is the availability of clients, I am 
pretty sure that there is no client for an ePOD for example and I am 
not sure about other PDA based clients. Also I would have no idea 
what wireless performance is like, but it seems to work OK over a 
normal LAN.
