From: Derek Disconnect on 9 Feb 2010 04:36 I use windows xp pro at my workplace. I remote to my file server (windows server 2003). My printer is forwarded to the server. With administrative priviliges I share that printer to be used with my software programs. The problem setup: Make two remote desktop connections with the same user name. Log off these sessions. Connect again and my printer is now unshared. This has been quite a pain because sometimes I must guide someone over the phone how to reshare the printer. Possible solutions: 1. Does Win XP Pro have a policy (GP or user) to run RD only once? 2. Does WinServer2003 R2 have a policy where the user is restricted to one terminal services session?

Are you using roaming profiles? If so, the reason is that Remote Desktop establishes a new user-session for each connection. When those sessions are closed, the last to be closed 'calls the tune' as far as any saved settings go. -Known as the 'last man wins' principle. Basically you must make a choice; multiple logons of the same account and roaming profiles don't mix. "Derek Disconnect" wrote: > I use windows xp pro at my workplace.
