When I connect from my computer (XP Pro) to my Windows Server 2003 with
remote
desktop, It doesnt "load" all active programs.
(For example the antivirus icon that should be shown next
to the clock). Its like I get a second administrator-user and get a new
desktop setup.

A look in the Task Manager (in Windows 2003) shows two "users" when I use
Remote control:

Administrator ID0 (that has all prog.active)
and
Administrator ID1 (that has few programs active).

When trying too choose "Connect Remote Control ID0" I get
the message: Can't connect to ID0 when its disabled.
I can choose "Connect", then I get the "real" administrator log in, and can
see all active programs.
But it's a hard way to do it that way..

At the moment there is only one account (administrator) on the
server, and I connect to that one from my pc. (Running XP
Pro SP1).

Ive tried remote desktop to another XP Pro computer, and it works very well,
the
Remote Control over takes the computer/administrator complete. (Not a 2nd
log on type that I get on Windows Server 2003).

Ive tried a LOT, but realy need help for this one.
If someone knows how to fix this, I would be greatful!!!
PLEEEAASE HELP!
 
Run "mstsc /console" instead, or change your shortcut to
launch Remote Desktop with the /console switch. /console
will connect you with Session 0.
 
Thanks for helping me!!
I tried to connect running c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe trough the
shortcut, but I only get a error message: The Connection was ended because
of an network error.

Was I doing wrong?
Please explain in more details, im not complete sure about this.
Thanks again!
 
That error occurs for many different reasons:

1. Network problems on either the sender or reciever network (or
both)
2. Issues with the router/firewall (particularly Linksys routers
running certain problematic firmware releases - see Linksys forums at
www.dslreports.com).
3. Bad or Loose network connections (causing errors in data stream).
4. Bad Service Pack or Hotfix installation.

There are probably many other causes to this problem... Try
troubleshooting your network connection first - this typically will
resolve this problem.
