View actual server display

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I am using Remote Desktop to connect into our server. However, I cannot see
any windows that are popped up on the server display. We have a scheduled
task that runs a process and if that process fails it leaves a pop-up error
message window that I can only see by going to the server and looking at the
display.

Is there any way to see exactly what is showing on the server display so
that I can close the pop-up window from my desktop? Thanks.

Hello David,

Run mstsc with the /console switch. So Start, Run and type "mstsc /console"
without the qoutes and connect to the server.

Best regards
