Questions about Windows Remote Desktop.
I have a couple general questions about the Windows 7 Remote Desktop software built into Windows 7 Professional.
My computer at home is always on. I run a Plex server off of it and I also use it to bypass my works firewalls and filters. We block just about everything BUT remote desktop connects as we use them at work.
I want to be able to log into the same desktop account that I use on the computer as that is where everything is located. When I first tried to login it gave me some message that I could not have another connection to that login as it was already active. I forget the exact message. I could however log into another account that was not active. I was always under the impression you could connect to an active login, once, remotely.
So doing some reading I found a patch that patches a file that allows multiple remote connections. That fixed it. I could now connect to my current login without issues. Worked great for years but now it's super flakey.
Right now I'm sitting at home, logged in as my admin account and if I try to connect it may or may not work. It will either work or give me an error that the service is currently busy. Now once I do get logged on or get that error, when I get home tonight and try to log back into my local account, I till just get a black screen with a movable cursor and it will go no where. I will have to force a restart to get back into my computer.
I'm thinking it's time for a refresh/reinstall of Windows 7 SP1 PRO 64bit.
SO when I redo windows, shouldn't I be able to log into my active login remotely without patching files? My net admin at work says yes, Windows 7 allows one connection to your current login.
Thoughts? Comments?
