But today I came across something built for the job – Folderpane Tools

So if you’re working on something at one machine then you can connect later from elsewhere and carry on whatever you were doing.

On Windows Server 2003 however, it works as default like it did on Windows 2000 Terminal Services. If you Term Serv onto the machine, even with the same login details as is currently being used on the console, it will create a whole new session for you.

However, if you are using XP to connect to 2003, you can make it connect to the console by appending ‘/console’ to your shortcut command:

%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe /console

Makes life a whole lot easier a lot of the time.

But obviously only ever use M$ as a last resource!

SSH onto Linux is always better!
