I am using Windows XP Remote Desktop Connection to manage Windows Small
Business Server 2003. How do you LOCK the server from the remote connection
?? Thanks

Apparently one of the backup programs will not run unless the server is
locked.

The easy way:

mstsc /v:SERVERNAME /console

This connects to the console session.

From there you can launch the nt security dialog box and lock the station.

Surely if you're remotely administering the server you'd keep it logged
out anyway, so why lock it?

Run the following command line from the Run box or create a shortcut to
lock the server from an icon:

RUNDLL32 USER32.DLL,LockWorkStation

I don't think that's going to work with a terminal session.
