Windows 7 Ultimate RDP

[vital]

I have Win 7 Ultimate installed on both Desktop and Laptop with the same username on both machines. Whenever I connect to my Desktop with my Laptop using RDP, it creates a new session. How do I choose to connect to the current session that's logged on my Desktop to continue working remotely on that session?

I use RealVNC for that type of work. TightVNC is a free alternative.

I know you can shadow consoles in Win2003 server but AFAIK XP, Vista and 7 have issues with the same session.

that's weird.. when I was using Windows 7 (Home Premium) I was able to resume session remotely. I know the benefit of using ultimate is multi user remote logins, but if home premium can resume sessions, why can't Ultimate?

I don't have a Win 7 machine right now but there should be a gpedit.msc or secpol.msc setting that allows you to turn off the multiple logins setting.

I did the opposite of this with one of my servers a month ago. Me and another admin kept taking over each others sessions. Now we each get our own session, even with the same account.

I can't seem to find it and google only shows hacks to enable multiple sessions..
