Bring window to front


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how I could possibly take a window from the local console of

a machine, and make it an active or "front" window on a terminal session?

Please note that the user on the terminal service and the console are

different names. Console is the terminal server itself, and session is the

terminal server, but displayed on the client.

 

For example:

[Terminal Server]

Client------------/ RDP Session / <---/

/ Terminal Server Local Console/

 

Take window from the terminal servers local console, set it in the

foreground of the rdp session. I need to do this so I can take control of a

program run when the server completes booting.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it sounds like you want to

connect to the console session of the server. Start the rdp

connection with "mstsc /console".

This assumes that the server is running 2003, you cannot connect to

the console session on a W2K server.
