We're using remote desktop to connect to a remote machine running windows 7. The problem is, that when one user is logged on, the others have no way (AFAIK) of knowing it. Thus, when a second user logs on, the first user gets kicked out without a warning.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Please note that:
- The machines are not on the same network
- We are not interested in concurrent sessions (e.g. using a patched termsrv.dll).
- Both source and target machines run Windows 7 Ultimate
EDIT
I was thinking about something like Tight-VNC's behavior, where if two users can log on simultaneously with the same username. In this case, keystrokes and mouse movements made by one, are seen by the other.

I may delete this based on your answer, but if you are using the same username, it will assume you don't mind kicking yourself off, but it will ask both sides if they want to do it if they are different users.
I tested with a standard user currently logged in, and an administrator connecting to make sure it would still ask.
If you are the same user logged in and RDP'ing, it just does it.
So if you are both using the same user, just set up two different ones, and it should work as you want. Otherwise, I am not sure how else to do it.
