Precam Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 hi all,i have a computer with windows 2000 pro on it. And i want to make a remote connection to this computer.I searched all over all in "google" and "altavista" but i couldn`t find any tool which can connect. (and if i found some, it where only "clients") The only tools i found are some like "VNC" or "RAdmin" etc.... but i want to open a seperated session like "remote desktop" under winXP.MfGpreps : sry for my bad english.

getwired Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Unfortunately Terminal Services for Remote Administration (what became Remote Desktop with XP/2003) is only in Windows XP and newer, it isn't possible with Windows 2000. You have to use VNC, Remotely Possible, PC Anywhere, or other third party software to control a 2000 Pro system, and it will always be the console of the host system (which is actually all Remote Desktop can do on XP Pro anyway - only Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server support connections other than to the console).BTW - your English is better than my German. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precam Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 BTW - your English is better than my German. :-)thx... But it's a pity, that there isn't a chance to make a remote connection with an extra session on win2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGutts Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Why do you want to open a remote session from your pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getwired Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 This is one of the things that made "Windows Smart Displays" not successful - that and the fact that they were too small, and too expensive. The fact that you couldn't have more than one user on a system at one time.I have an HP Media Center Extender, and it is the only thing I'm aware of that can cause more than one user to be logged on to Windows at a time - albeit within the limited constraints of a Media Center Extender session...I'm with you, Precam - I wish this was possible - for administrative reasons. To be able to log onto a system where a novice user is logged on, and fix things behind the scenes for them would be very useful - but you have to force them to log off (remote desktop, XP Pro only) or share with them (remote assistance, XP Home or Pro)...

01communique Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Try a new remote access software called I'm InTouch! With this product you can remotely access your home or work PC fromwherever you have a broadband or always-on Internet connection.This product is cheaper and more secure than Go To My PC or PC anywhere.You can download a FREE trial at: <http://01ftp.01com.com/wrappers/iit_vb30.exe>or send me an e-mail at: val.slastnikov@01com.com and I will let you know how to install it.

Precam Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 I only find there the "client" but no "server" protocol.I need the server protocol.//EDITok, i found the answer.... Q. Can I run Terminal Services on my Windows 2000 Professional machine? A. A Windows 2000 Professional machine cannot be configured as a terminal server. A Windows 2000 terminal server allows a connection from a workstation running Windows 2000 Professional without requiring a Terminal Services CAL. You must also buy a Windows 2000 Server or BackOffice CAL for each device that connects to a Windows 2000 terminal server, including devices running Windows 2000 Professional.s***..... but thx for your help.

zillah Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Now could you please let me know:I am not quite sure about what Precam mentioned:Q. Can I run Terminal Services on my Windows 2000 Professional machine? A. A Windows 2000 Professional machine cannot be configured as a terminal server. A Windows 2000 terminal server allows a connection from a workstation running Windows 2000 Professional without requiring a Terminal Services CAL. You must also buy a Windows 2000 Server or BackOffice CAL for each device that connects to a Windows 2000 terminal server, including devices running Windows 2000 Professional.My queries:1- Can I access from my windows 2000 Pro (local),any other machine (remote) ? Yes I guess I can if I have any third party program,,Am I right? I know with windows 2000 server and winXP there are utilities for that.2-Can I access my my windows 2000 Pro (remote),from other machine (local)? I know with windows 2000 server and windowsXP we have to check box for "enable remote login".Any clue will be really appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
