Remote Desktop Connection Login

[Sin Jeong-hun]

Windows XP only allows one user. If I connect a computer through RDC
and another person is already logged in, it says, "...is logged in.
Only administrator can ...". But it's only after I have typed my id and
password. It's so tedious. Is there any way to find out if the remote
computer is avaiable (no user has logged in) before I login, or is
there any way I can programatically check it after programatically
logged in (any source code?)?

If the remote desktop host is part of a VPN then you can
run this command on your own PC:

nbtstat -A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

It will show you who's logged on.
