UPDATE: We used this today and it ROCKS! One point to note, you'll lose control of your caps lock and num lock keys. It was a total trip to have the person that was 'controlling' the remote session hit their num and caps lock and watch the lights change on my machine! The other cool thing is even though I'm not the one to initiate the remote control request, both parties still have the ability to move the mouse and interact in the session, even though it's two sessions. So be careful.

Again, this tip comes from a co-worker here. Have you ever wanted to Remote Desktop into a machine to do some work, but also wanted to allow another remote party to see what you're doing? I thought it was impossible, but apparently not. Here's what to do to allow another Remote Desktop user to watch what you're doing, as you're remoted into the machine:

   1.> Both parties remote desktop to the server (make sure you're both in the same monitor resolution)

   2.> Now that you're both in, the person 'in control' should go to a command prompt

   3.> Type 'tsadmin' and hit return

   4.> Locate the other remote desktop session, right click on the session and choose remote control.

Viola! This is going to solve some major problems on an upcoming rollout. Sweet!
