RE: Win 2003 server, Remote Desktop and HA apps

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I need is a way to run a program after the session disconnects - there
then must be a way to log in.

I have a very similar set up, and very similar issues as you...

To this date, I haven't found a solution to the TS session-locking
problem, - although it doesn't actually cause me quite as much of a
problem as it does for you.

Previously the only way I found to avoid this issue was to use PC
Anywhere instead of TS, since this gives you complete control over what
happens to the console both during & after you use it remotely...

Thanks Rob,

I don't want to use another session as all the HA apps are running via
an automatically logged in user (not as services). I don't actually log
off when closing the session remotely but do as you mention and just
disconnect.

It's this locking of the screen that causes the problem - ACE TTS will
not announce when the screen is locked for some reason.

Do you know of any way to automatically unlock the screen after a remote
session ends?

Ta,

Paul.

Have you tried connecting without the /console command to use another
session.

Using /console connects you to the console session, so selecting logout
will logout the console session.

Alternatively you could just disconnect, this will leave the session
logged in but the screen will be locked.

I use a Win 2003 Server as my HA PC. I've been using the Remote Desktop
Connection to administer it and it's great.

However, when I log in and out remotely (in console mode with the
/console switch), the user is logged out of the local machine until
manually logged in locally again. This causes problems with my text to
speech prog (ACE TTS) as it needs to be logged in to work (all the HA
apps are actually still running although the desktop is locked out).

Anyone know how to get the local server PC to log back in again after a
remote session ends without doing it manually? Any other ways around
this?

Ta,

Paul.
