Does anyone know how I could possibly take a window from the local console of
a machine, and make it an active or "front" window on a terminal session?
 
RE: Bring window to front

Please note that the user on the terminal service and the console are
different names. Console is the terminal server itself, and session is the
terminal server, but displayed on the client.

For example:
[Terminal Server]
Client------------/ RDP Session / <---/
/ Terminal Server Local Console/

Take window from the terminal servers local console, set it in the
foreground of the rdp session. I need to do this so I can take control of a
program run when the server completes booting.

RE: Bring window to front

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it sounds like you want to
connect to the console session of the server. Start the rdp
connection with "mstsc /console".
This assumes that the server is running 2003, you cannot connect to
the console session on a W2K server.
