Tripp Lite 93-2879, B096-048, B096-016 owner manual Configure the Remote Desktop Connection client

To set the user(s) who can remotely access the system with RDP, click Add on the Remote Desktop Users dialog box

Note If you need to set up new users for Remote Desktop access, open User Accounts in the Control Panel and proceed through the steps to nominate the new user’s name, password and account type (Administrator or Limited)

Note With Windows XP Professional and Vista, you have only one Remote Desktop session and it connects directly to the Windows root console. With Windows Server 2008 you can have multiple sessions, and with Server 2003 you have three sessions (the console session and two other general sessions). Therefore, more than one user can have an active session on a single computer.

When the remote user connects to the accessed computer on the console session, Remote Desktop automatically locks that computer (so no other user can access the applications and files). When you come back to the computer, you can unlock it by typing CTRL+ALT+DEL.
