Re: Question about connecting to the console of server 2003

Your IT admins can restrict console access and set sessions to disconnect
after X minutes via group policy.  You could try and hack that using the Win
2003 admin kit, but I wouldn't advice it - I would just ask whoever
administers the kit to relax the settings for you.

Subject: [rdesktop-users] Question about connecting to the console of server
2003

I have a server 2003 at my office and I connect to it from home via
vpn.  I've always had the problem that if my connection failed my
session on windows got logged off and when I logged back on I had to
restart all my desktop apps.  If there was a build in progress this sets
me back quite a bit.

For a sort time I was able to connect to the console via the -0 option
and that worked like a charm (my sessions survived a loss of
connection), however at some point that stopped working and even though
I login to -0 I get a tcp session.  I have no Idea why console mode
stopped working.  The server belongs to the company domain and is likely
subject to all the usual domain based foolishness of windows networks.
2 questions:
-is there a way to have my sessions survive a disconnect?
-is there a way to get back on the console?  (I have admin rights to the
machine).
