Login? What do you want to do when logged in? Is it a question about simple filesharing?

No I want everything

I want to know how to do it like at university where you can log onto any computer there and it will give you your desktop with all the standard applications plus outlook with your emails in it and your private my documents folder

Wondering how this is done

Thanks

if what you want is desktop sharing you can give a try to VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/)

Code:

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately.

in the dl page you can find the release for windows based system...

Using VNCwould be a bit odd, knowing Terminal Services (in remote management mode) is installed by default. You don't need any additional licenses for it, and it's setup in a few minutes.

A few disadvantages though, only members of the Administrator/Domain Administrators are allowed to connect to the console. If you want regular users to do that you need to buy additional TS licenses.

But then again, who hasn't got a legal Windows XP Pro license that was bought before Windows 2003 server was released? Such a license can be used to aquire a free Terminal Service (device) CAL. So that shouldn't be a problem too.

Lemme know if your gonna use TS or VNC. I'll be happy to help ya out!

What's the difference between Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance?

I am not using Win 2003, but am using XP Pro on two machines. Remote Desktop requires all users to be logged off on the machine to connect to it... Whereas Remote Assistance I can connect and control everything and chat with the person on the other end. But Remote Assistance requires someone to accept the connection.

The Remote Assistance seems to be better, unless I am missing something? I want to be able to connect to a machine and login and do things while someone else is using it.
