Preemption of a Remote Administrator by a Local User
This occurs when a local user attempts to take control of a server that is being accessed by a remote
administrator. In this instance, when the local user tries to connect to the server a message appears
asking the local user to wait while the preemption request is answered by the remote administrator.
If the remote administrator rejects the preemption request, a message appears informing the local
user that they cannot connect to the server. If the request is granted by the remote administrator,
the local user can access the server.
Preemption of a Remote User by a Local User
This occurs when a local user attempts to take control of a server that is being accessed by a remote
user who is not an administrator. In this instance, the local user is given access to the server after a
defined time.

be disconnected. Click
