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 :)

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.

    • I'm concerned about this, too. How can he make sure that the money is actually used for good instead of ending up in the pockets of crooked politics and warlords? I think that's a problem.
    • Sony unveils its first fight stick 'Project Defiant', supports PC and PS5 by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe In a surprise twist, Sony announced a new piece of hardware at its State of Play presentation today. Currently going by the codename Project Defiant, it is Sony's first attempt at making a fight stick. Considering the company is currently partnered with Marvel to make a first-party fighting game featuring heroes and villains from the popular comic universe, this seems to be the right time to unveil the project. As seen in the teaser trailer above, the wireless fight stick follows the modern black and white PlayStation hardware style of the consoles and standard gamepad controllers. The controller will ship with a toolless design for changing the restrictor gates, with square, circle, and octagon options incoming for the stick. Meanwhile, the buttons are confirmed to have mechanical switches. Plus, a dedicated touchpad, much like on the DualSense controller, is available on the top of the fight stick. "It’s built in a sturdy, ergonomic design for a comfortable feel during intense fight sessions," adds the company. Sony is leveraging its PlayStation Link technology in the device. With it, the company is promising ultra-low latency wireless connectivity, making sure it provides players "precise in-game response to each button press and digital stick movement." Interestingly, PlayStation Link is Sony's proprietary wireless connectivity standard designed for PlayStation 5's audio transmissions, which is now being used a little differently for this piece of hardware. The controller has built-in storage for holding both the restrictor gates and the PS Link USB adapter. As expected, a wired connection is also possible, with a USB-C port available on the device for connecting to a PlayStation 5 or PC. To make sure the device remains in good condition during travel, Sony is throwing in a sturdy sling carry case with each Project Defiant fight stick. More details, like the official name, internal hardware, release date, and most importantly, price, will be revealed later. The hardware has a 2026 launch window right now.
    • Precisely. I didn't give Reddit permission to sell my posts to any AI vendor from any of my accounts. Since I've been on Reddit since before the current pseudo-AI existed, I don't think anyone did...
