Bad boy Warrior Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Could someone advise if this is possible please. Could i connect my laptop to my server so that im using the laptops TFT monitor to view my Windows Server 2003 (which is a seperate machine)? now i know some of you are screaming "using Remote Desktop" i know that but ive come across a problem where i needed to log directly into the server to try and resolve the issue but couldnt access it using Remote desktop?Thanks to all for your continued help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valter Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I don't think it's possible, but if you have a vga with tv-out then hook it up on tv ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGutts Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 The only way to do this is with either PCanywhere, or VNC.But you will need to install a copy onto both machines.Why cant you plug a screen into the server?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Have you tried Remote Desktop in console mode? Type: Start --> Run --> mstsc -v:<server name or ip address> /F This will launch Remote Desktop in console mode with a full screen view.Not sure it will help, but might be worth a try.

Thats what i do now but since the screen is real old and heavy i have to get it from another room and then plug it in (yes i know im being lazy)Have you tried Remote Desktop in console mode? Type: Start --> Run --> mstsc -v:<server name or ip address> /F This will launch Remote Desktop in console mode with a full screen view.Not sure it will help, but might be worth a try.No ive not tried that but ill try that today - does this allow me to view the screen as if i have a monitor connected to the server?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-VOICE Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Actually, to use Remote Desktop Connection in console mode to Windows Server 2003 requires the /console switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
