To set the user(s) who can remotely access the system with RDP, click Add on the Remote
Desktop Users dialog box
Note If you need to set up new users for Remote Desktop access, open User Accounts in the Control
Panel and proceed through the steps to nominate the new user’s name, password and account
type (Administrator or Limited)
Note With Windows XP Professional and Vista, you have only one Remote Desktop session and it
connects directly to the Windows root console. With Windows Server 2008 you can have
multiple sessions, and with Server 2003 you have three sessions (the console session and
two other general sessions). Therefore, more than one user can have an active session on a
single computer.
When the remote user connects to the accessed computer on the console session, Remote
Desktop automatically locks that computer (so no other user can access the applications
and files). When you come back to the computer, you can unlock it by typing
CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Desktop Connection on the remote client computer then point it to the SDT Secure Tunnel port in the
