Help with remote control

[josh]

Hi I have a windows 2000 server running term server. MY
question are:
#1 I can use the remote control feature on some users &
it not ask them if I Can take over (This is what I Want)
& on others it ask. How can I get it not to ask because I
need to view programs running remotely & someone won't
always be the to check yes?
#2 IS there a way to remotely take over the console or do
I need to have a terminal run the programs?

Thank you for your time & help!
Josh

Check their user accounts. Some user accounts might have
special options associated with them that force the user
to click the "yes" box to allow you to remote control
their session. Also verify this in your rDP-TCP
properties in the temrinal services configuration.

No, not with Windows 2000. You might want to look at
upgrading to Windwos 2003 or using a third party program
like VNC or PCAnyWhere.
