Multiple VNC connections to Windows 2003 Server Terminal Services

[Steve Bostedor]

We use VNC on Terminal Servers and it works fine.  Of course, you only
get the console desktop for the reason that Angelo pointed out.  I do
remember hearing something about some previous version of VNC having
issues on a Terminal Server but I have never experienced it.  

Is anyone working on a flavor of VNC that will allow you to "shadow"
terminal sessions like the Terminal Server Manager does?  

If you're looking for unique desktops per connection, your best bet is
the Terminal Services that comes with Windows 2000/2003 server.  VNCScan
is an excellent front end for both VNC and the terminal services, too.
The value in VNCScan here is that there is one interface to both VNC and
Terminal Services so it kind of blurs the line a little.
