Domain RDC - share screen
Hi all,
I'd like to be able to RDC into a domain Win 7 machine and share the screen with a user instead of kicking that person off. Is this possible?

do you want to make remote control on the server?
//
If your user works on the server I think the server will allow 2 sessions without Licensing, in your session go to task manager->users tab then you can right click on that user and select Remote Control
Would it be part of the solution I'm looking for?sure, this is the Domain User security settings required to allow remote control for the user

Sorry - I should clarify:
- We have an SBS 2011 Essentials Server that all the computers are connected to.
- Workstations are running Windows 7 Pro versions.
Here's what I'd like to do.
- In the office, I'd like to RDC from my workstation to another workstation and share the screen, instead of kicking that user off (for training purposes, etc.).
- Using Remote Web Access, I'd like to remote into one of the workstations and share the screen, instead of kicking that user off (for training purposes, etc.).

With full terminal services on a server you can share a screen using “Shadowing” but you cannot do so on a PC using RDC. However, as suggested earlier by FarWest you can “offer remote assistance” and share a screen. With SBS to do, On the SBS server, open the Window Small Business Server console, click on the “Network” icon, and under Computers right click on the computer to which you want to connect, then select offer remote assistance. The user will have to approve the connection.
EDIT: my directions are for SBS 2011 Standard. The same option exists with SBS 2011 Essentials but the location may be slightly different. I do not have one available to check the exact location.
