Remote Desktop - change in the way I am asked to logon - what's happened ?

Hi - I use Remote Desktop to access a machine on the same LAN. My
machine is XP Pro; the target machine is W2003. Both machines handle
their own logons (ie there's no domain controller involved).

In the last two weeks the way the W2003 machine behaves has changed.
Previously I ran %SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe and what I saw on my
screen was an image of teh other machines logon screen (in other words
the normal logon dialog that I would see if I sat down at that
machines screen).

Now when I run mstsc.exe I got a dialog box appearing on my XP machine
which asks me to provider userid/password. When I provide that I am
then given an image of the W2003 machines desktop after the logon.

I presume that some sort of automatic update to the two machines has
changed the configuration but can anyone tell me how to get it back
the way it was ? Alternatively can anyone tell me the terminology used
for the 'remote desktop with logon handled through the RD session' as
opposed to 'remote desktop logon handled before RD session is
started'.

Thanks

Richard.

To control the ability to logon to your Terminal Servers via Remote Desktop, use membership of each server's local Remote Desktop Users group, except for DCs where you would use a combination of the Domain Local RDU group and RDP-Tcp listener object permissions. ...
