Taking over console

Hi,

I'm using Windows 2003 Server and the remote desktop feature. What i want to
do is take over the console session of that machine.
I achieved this using the /console command line switch in the remote desktop
client. Yet after a reboot of the 2003 machine, when nobody's logged in yet,
i cannot connect to the machine using a non-administrator account (i get an
error message). Entering administrator credentials works, but i dont want to
log in as that user.
It looks like i can only take over the console if somebody's already logged
in. Can i tweak some policies to work around this "feature"?

Is there a good solution to this besides maybe enabling auto-login on the
server?


Thanks,

Jo
