Remote PC Issue

[howlett]

Hey,

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question.

We have 2 remote computers at work which everyone in the office need to connect to at different times of the day randomly.

If someone is using one of the remote PC's and someone else decides to log on, it will kick the first person out.

We decided to use msn to show your busy so people didn't kick people off. This is a very basic way of doing it and it doesn't work.

I just wondered whether anyone knows of a widget which can sit on everyones desktop (on the network). It could list 'Remote 1', 'Remote 2' etc and when someone clicks on an option the button goes red (for example). Or there is a visual cue that its busy. Preferably it would show who is on each remote PC as well.

There must be something like this. As long as it does the same job really. Msn is not a reliable solution.

Thanks

The simple solution to this, assuming it's a Windows box, is to make it a terminal services host. That will allow for a finite number of people to log on to it.
