SBS2003 I leave my server with a couple of foreground applications running in
a console session. The screen saver activates after 5 minutes. So there is no
security risk.

Is it possible to login with Terminal Services and join the session which is
already running. I need to monitor the progress of the running applications.
 
Not join, since there can only be one connection to session 0, but
you can take over session 0.
Run mstsc /console

A follow-up on my own posting:

After you've done with your work remotely, do not logoff or
disconnect, but open a cmd shell in the remote session and type:
tscon 0 /dest:console

This will disconnect your remote session and 'push' it back to the
console.
 
This is me showing my ignorance now...

I'm unsure of how to do as you suggest. Where do I type the mstsc /Console?
 
From a command prompt on your workstation.
If you run XP, mstsc is already pre-installed (it's called Remote
Desktop), if you run W2K Prof, you have to install the rdp client
first.
