<grin> It might be thought to be offensive to use such a logon-name, besides
I'm not sure they'd get the hint. 8-)
I can't limit my time, I work the same hours as the other people here.
I get logged off when the user on the remote computer logs on. This is WinXP
and I usually logon to the console, so if the user logs on physically on the
remote computer, I get logged off. The users on the other end are mostly Power
Users as some software we run requires admin-rights and I don't like to give
them that. Power User-privs usually works though, so that's what we use.
If I didn't logon remotely to the console, could the user logon while I'm
still in a background session?

Change your admin login name to KeepyourgrimymittsoffuntilImdone ? Seriously
we limit logon times via AD until just 15 to 20 minutes prior to opening so
that we can do maintenance. You might not be able to do that though. I'm not
sure how the user is logging you off as admin though unless they have admin
privs on their local desktop.

Hi,
It happens quite often that when I administer and/or fix remote workstations
using RDP, the user comes back from whereever and logs on despite that the
logon window says somebody else (me) is logged on at this moment with the
result I'm being logged off in the middle of an update or some such.
Is there a way to prevent an admin/domain admin from being logged off from a
rdp-session by a user with lower privs, eg power user?
TIA.
