I used to connect to this PC via remote desktop when it had WinXp, and all worked fine.

Since it has Windows Vista Business, when i login, another session is created for the same user, so i cant's see or have access to the applications already opened by that user.

What i want is the same behavior of remote desktop in WinXp Pro.

To connect to the server's console, try using:

mstsc /v:<server> /admin

Or without SP1:

mstsc /v:<server> /console

Works fine, thanks. – Mario Nov 18 '10 at 19:25
What looks strange to me is the fact that this way the Remote Desktop didn't ask me for any user/password. – Mario Nov 19 '10 at 1:09
It has probably cached the last-used credential. It doesn't do this for all configurations, so you just lucked out. – harrymc Nov 19 '10 at 8:49
