I have an XP pro workstation I sit at.

I remote into a variety of "worker" computers that until recently had XP Pro on them.

We replaced one "worker" computer with a Vista Business OS machine.

I have admin rights on both machines, but cannot open a first/new instance of a program via RDP on the Vista machine.

Is this a known issue or is there a way to enable this?

 

what does it say when you try to run remote desktop?

have you tried right clicking the rdp icon and choosing run as administrator?

 

so you're connected to the vista machine via RDP from an XP machine and you're trying to run an app on the Vista machine and it won't let you?

try right clicking said app and choosing run as administrator?

 

check task manager and see if there is already an instance running that maybe didn't close properly before. I get that every so often with outlook when I try to open it it won't open, then when I open task manager I see 4 or 5 instances of outlook.exe already running so I have to end their processes before it will open again.

 

hello?

 

are you there god?

 

it's me, margaret!

 

Bueller...

 

I am logged into the Vista machine with an Admin account.

 

are you sitting at the machine or via RDP?

 

False alarm, it started working suddenly.
