Desktop-class Windows (XP/Vista/7/8) can only have one desktop session (either local or remote); server-class can have two (local+remote or remote+remote) unless they have Terminal Services enabled (or whatever it's called). Sharing a session with the local/another user is not a feature of RDP; you'd need VNC (or something else) for that, correct. Obviously you'd come to that conclusion, but I figured I'd spell it out since I knew most of the details. Jima ...Windows guru?
