Can you log into a Windows 2003 Server from two different computers using the same administrator account?

I am trying to figure out a way for remote desktop to give access to multiple users to a Windows 2003 Server. When one user is already logged in via Remote Desktop using the admin account, and there is another user who wants to log in using the same admin account, it gives the error that the previous user must log out before he can log in.





Is there a moderately painless way of resolving this in order to give them both access at the same time?





Thank you!

As far as I can tell, no, you can't log in on two different computers using the same account, for security reasons. Trust me, I should know, my school system uses Windows 2003 server, and the only way to use two computers was to manually log off the computer, (which usually involved going round to the other side of the school and manually logging off, or if your feeling a little lazy, ask the administrator :)
Reply:not with remote desktop, even if you used 2 different accounts i believe it still boots the other. you can use a logmein account for the second one though they have free accounts and it is a secure method though its not as quick of a connection as remote desktop.
