Cannot continue user session via terminal service for Windows 2000 server

[markus]

I enabled terminal services on a Windows 2000 server and I installed
the terminal service client on another Windows 2000 box. I am able to
establish a remote connection from the client to the server but my
problem is that always a new user session is created. What I would
like to be able to do is to have (non Windows) programs running on the
server and then be able to logon via terminal services (with the same
user account) and see the desktop and the running programs the same
way as if I would just go on the server itself in order to e.g. check
the status of a running application. This works perfectly fine when I
connect from the Windows 2000 client to a Win XP machine but it
doesn't work when I connect to the Windows 2000 server. Again, I can
connect but a new user session gets created.
Is there anything I can do? I was looking in the configuration but I
couldn't find anything ...
Thank you in advance!

No, connecting to the console session (session 0) is not possible
with W2K TS.
This functionality was first build into XP and 2003.
