mac osx remote desktop client
I use rdc (remote desktop client) on my mac to connect to my windows machine so that i can run windows programs on my mac. i was using virtual pc but found it so so slow.
rdc is so much faster than virtual pc, one question tho, when i connect to my windows machine i have to log windows off before it will allow my mac access. is there anyway around this?
i would like to stay connected, so that the person using the windows machine can carry on what they are doing while i connect through osx
any ideas?

AFAIK, this is not possible, The Windows client does the same thing.

Yep, it's not possible because Windows is not a true multi user OS whereas Linux/BSD is.

It may be through terminal services (Telnet), not really sure TBH.

Re: mac osx remote desktop client
You'd need to be using Windows Terminal Server if you want to do this.

on 2000 server this would be the case but remote desktop does not log off the current user in 2003

in 2000 server you can use terminal services in remote administration mode which will allow 2 concurrent remote connections alongside a local connection.
