Actually, you can use Run As to perferm administrative tasks or the other way around. Describe what sort of tasks that you need to do so we can help you figure out the way around this :)

I hear what you are saying and I'll just *wink* ;) in agreement with the server comment :rofl:

How to enable Fast User Switching in Windows Server 2003 ?

I want this feature to logged on without logging off Administrator!

B/W : Server 2003 is Domain Controller!

You really really can't - I read the assembler once to determine this (part of my job) - took about two full weeks. All necessary code for FUS is in 2k3 - it's just not enabled because of ONE bit in the registry - the bit that tells the OS to act as a server rather than a workstation. And it is neither legal nor possible to flip that bit. :rolleyes:

you can actually RDP to localhost and run concurrent sessions through a single terminal anyway.

btw, if you had read the post stuck to the top of the forum that reads 'READ THIS BEFORE POSTING', you'd see that 2k3 doesn't have fast user switching.

FUS in w2k3 - it's actually in there, but the Terminal Services (and winlogon.exe and a few more files as I remember it) actually checks if the OS runs as a server, and if so, it makes FUS unavailable, and other stuff available. And with good reason, because the Terminal Services have to behave quite differently to provide FUS.

you can enalbe Fast User Switching in Windows 2003 Server.

You'll need the Win2003 Optimizer Tool (free program) from http://www.sala.pri.ee/2k3optimize.htm

It's just an exe file, no need to install the program. Under "Other", you'll see "Enable Fast User Switching" feature. good luck.

    • Intel's new GPU driver adds support for FBC: Firebreak, Stellar Blade, and more by Taras Buria Intel has released a new non-WHQL driver under version 32.0.101.6876. The update brings support and optimizations for four games and a single fix for visual artifacts that appear in certain situations. Here is the list of newly-supported games in driver 32.0.101.6876 on systems with Intel Arc B-Series, A-Series, and Intel Core Ultra with built-in Arc graphics: FBC: Firebreak Rematch Stellar Blade Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X There is also a single bug fixed in today's release: Intermittent visual artifacts may appear in certain usage scenarios. Known issues remain the same as in the latest WHQL release, except for a new bug that causes audio glitches on handheld devices: Certain handheld devices may experience audio glitches and lower-than-expected performance while audio is playing. You can mitigate the problem by following a guide that Intel published on the official forum. It requires reinstalling the graphics and NPU drivers on the affected systems. A proper fix will be available in a future driver update. You can install Intel 32.0.101.6876 non-WHQL driver on PCs with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 with the following graphics products from Intel: Discrete GPUs Integrated GPUs Intel Arc A-Series (Alchemist) Intel Arc B-Series (Battlemage) Intel Iris Xe Discrete Graphics (DG1) Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake) Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) Intel Core 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) Intel Core 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) Intel Core 12th Gen (Alder Lake) Intel Core 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) You can download the driver from the official website here. Full release notes are available here (PDF). Keep in mind that this is a non-WHQL driver, which means it could be less stable than certified WHQL drivers.
