Remote Desktop Connection problem with multiple login attempts

Remote Desktop Connection problem with multiple login attempts

We have a common machine with Windows XP installed; anybody can remotely connect to it. The problem is when user called A is already connected to that machine remotely and doing something, if some other user B remotely connects to it user A is not warned that somebody else is trying to connect; the session simply gets disconnected and the other user takes control of the system. How do we resolve it ?

"Try Real VNC. Here you can share screen. You can configure it to allow only single remote user at a time or multiple concurrent users.

It works up to XP & Windows 2003 & on LAN. (Need to buy paid version for Vista support). Also since its screen sharing, you get the same screen & the same session.

(NOTE: From Vista onwards, in RDC, the current remote logged-in user gets a prompt when another remote user tries to login.)"

You can enable multiple concurrent connections using RDC. This might solve your problem; you can look over this article for more information.
