Hello,

I am administering, remotely, a computer that is running
a PowerPoint presentation on a continues loop. I need to
be able to restart the PowerPoint show and have it show
up on the local monitor. Right now I can start the show
locally and leave it, but when I log in remotely to make
changes I cannot get it to show up on the local monitor,
all that is there is the local login screen. Is there a
way to force the local monitor to show the PowerPoint? I
realize this may leave the local computer open for some
one get into, but the computer is in a secure location
and the monitor for the show is not next to the local
computer.
Thanks for any advice
 
Try this to see if it works:
After you're done remotely, before you disconnect, goto Start menu->Run,
type:
tscon 0 /dest:console
click ok.
 
ok,

one more question. what policy do i need to enable to
allow a member of the power users group to run a command
from "run" I dont want the user to have to be an
administrator.
 
What type of command do you want to use? You can use the runas
command to run a program as a different user, but you would need to
give them a valid username/password to get this to work...

You are telling terminal services to send session "0" (the only
session available in current Windows XP Pro) to the console session...

I mean the command that I am running in the above
question, tscon 0 /dest:console

It seems the command only work from an administrator
account.
