I got a workstation here in a private network running Windows 8 Pro. This computer is used to test new features or Metro applications. The users connect via remote desktop and that works pretty fine so far.
My problem is now, that if a user is already connected to the workstation, he will be kicked off if another user connects. In older versions there was an option that the current user gets a message to accept or decline.
After hours of searching I couldn't find a solution for Windows 8. How do I solve this problem, or isn't it possible anymore?
1Have you tried to use gpedit.msc? -> Administrative Templates \ Windows components \ Remote desktop services \ Remote desktop session host \ Connections -> "Set rules of remote control of remote desktop services" (also Windows 7 does not do the asking by default) – Offler – 2013-01-22T08:53:49.287
Hey Offler, thanks for your post! I tried to change the settings at the gpedit.msc and it looked like the function i was looking for. Then i noticed that its only supported for:
Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, Windows Vista und Windows XP

I tested it on Windows 8, and it worked despite what the notes say. I think a) Microsoft may not have updated the notes, b) 'Offler' is a genius! – Guy Thomas – 2013-01-22T12:00:31.850
Ok i made it work with Offner's tip (Big Thanks so far!) Now the problem occurs when i try to connect with the same account. But i guess there's no way to solve this or at least it makes no sense =). Thanks for help =) – EW72 – 2013-01-22T13:18:16.243
