Did you try the following excerpt and does this work? I have two user
accounts (A, B)set up on one xp sp 2 node. I want to remote desktop to that
node from another node either as A or B without kicking of the current user
on the node.

If this script does work, when do I run it and from where?

Thanks
Mohan
