Remote Access/kiosk issue with XP Pro

[Guest]

I have a XP Pro kiosk which displays information via the SVGA port to the
kiosk monitor. Since this computer is in a locked closet, it would be
desireable to remotely configure the contents of the screen (power point)
from a remote computer. There are several people who require access to this
system although not at the same time.

I have tried to configure MS Remote Desktop such that it doesn't create a
new session (XP only allows one session whereas Server 2003 allows multiple),
but rather displays in the remote desktop client EXACTLY what is being
displayed on the kiosk monitor. Unfortunately, all attempts to configure the
system to display the console (i.e. mstsc.exe /v:computer_name /console)
cause the actual console to revert to an XP login screen rendering the kiosk
unusable unless someone then unlocks the closet, logs in directly from the
actual console and restarts the power point presentation.

I could use PC Anywhere or VNC but would prefer to not configure a third
party product for reasons of cost and/or internal security policy. Is this
possible to accomplish or am I trying to do something that isn't going to
work? Can anyone help me?

This is how Remote Desktop works for Windows XP Pro. Windows XP Pro only
allows one user to be log and interact with the Desktop at one time. You
will need to use a third-party program or have Windows Sever 2003 as your
kiosk.
