how to be able to connect from your desktop?

or how to setup on server?

that should get you started

It is installed already - I want to be able to interact with the desktop. Issue I am having is when our support team connects to the server and tries to start a 3rd party application, the application opens in the console window.  We need to change it so that the terminal services user are actually interacting with the desktop rather than a virtual desktop.

this will be a seting int eh group policy, as this is where you set if an application starts or only an application starts...
check group policy.
Computer config > administrative templates > windows components > terminal services.

oh.. for your administrators.. they will need to log into the server using (this computer) rather than the domain... sorry i miss read you previous... this is how i do it to be able to manage sessions etc.. on the server.
just witht he local admin username/password. this comptuer as domain.

If the application launches in the console session, the application is not written properly to work with TS. I'd therefore suggest Accept using http:#a22770596.

I am afraid I have to object to this action, only because this question errs into the "You can't do that" side of things. You CAN do it, but as I said, it's down to the authors of the application.
