Remote desktop connection on Mac

[S Church]

I'd like to remote control a session on my Windows 2000
Server from a Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop
Connection. However, I can't seem to find the settings to
control THE session running on the server. The client
always brings up a NEW session even when using the same
logon name and password as the session currently running
on the server. I want to JUST remotely control the server
from the Mac...what am I missing.

If you mean that you are logged onto the server console with your account, and you want to logon to that session with Remote Desktop, this is NOT possible with any Terminal Server Client when connecting to a 2000 Server

This is only possible when connecting to Server 2003 (or XP Pro) and is done by using the /console switch on the remote desktop client, i.e.

Start -> Run -> mstsc /console (not sure if there is a Mac equivalent
