[THIN] Remote Control Terminal Server rdp sessions

The PC does have VNC installed so I can remote control the PC and therefore the RDP session that PC launches. However, during testing I found the performance really slow. VNCing the desktop is fine, however when browsing the RDP session that PC has open, its very slow.

Its alot faster remote controling the RDP session directly (from the Terminal Server).... The fact you cannot even shadow a session from the Terminal Server console itself is a little silly. Why do I have to RDP to the server to then shadow a session...

Im hoping there is a client that allows RDP sessions to be remote controlled - fingers crossed someone out there knows the answer...

Thanks
Rose

If you want to remote control the user PC, if it is Windows XP Professional,
this feature is built in.
If it is anything else you have many options in the market, some free (like
VNC), some not free (many too list).

Hi

I have deployed a new Windows 2003 Terminal Services Server - all works
great..  When it comes to remote control, I can RDP into the Terminal Server

and use Terminal Services Manager to remote control another RDP session -
works OK.

Is there a way to install this Terminal Services Manager client (or another
client) on a desktop PC so RDP sessions can be remote controlled without
connecting to the Terminal Server?  I want to give our HelpDesk remote
control capabilities but don't want them connecting the Terminal Server via
RDP Client - can this be done?

Thanks
Rose

PS - Citrix is not installed.
PPS - Hope this isn't  a dumb question
