Hi,
I have got a machine with no keyboard mouse and screen, so I have to
control it with remote desktop. I have set it to auto-logon and
creates as session automatically, which list's the sound card and uses
it. When I connect via remote desktop it creates a new session which I
do not want, I want to continue with the one that was create by auto-
logon. I can change via task manager but I want it to join that
specific one, is there a way to do this?

I have tried /console and it does not work and I have restricted the
user to one sessions but that does not work either

The /console switch is only available for server hosts, and perhaps
not even for all server versions.

Well it looks that wont be possible. One other question though.

I am going to use the computer for like dedicated downloading, but
sort of like leaving it on overnight, because it uses a hell of a lot
less power and make less noise because of the lack of fans, but I does
not really have the storage on there. It would manage to store on
download easily but not many. There is plenty of space on my main PC
which is connected to the network and has network shares.

I basically need some sort of file synchronisation setup which, if the
network share is not available then the files are store locally and as
soon as it does become available the files are copied the the main
machine(network share) and deleted from the server machine. Note that
the network connection will always be available just the share wont
when the main PC is off.

Any Ideas on how I would set this up.

You could use this command:
dir \\StoragePC\ShareName
to check if the storage machine is available. If the command
is successful (as shown by %ErrorLevel%) then you could use
xcopy.exe or robocopy.exe to synchronise your files.

If your question relates to workstations (as opposed to servers)
then it might be better to post it in the appropriate newsgroup
(Windows XP? Windows 2000? Vista? Other?), if only because
replies in this Server group tend to assume a level of experience
that a server administrator usually has.
