B/W : Server 2003 is Domain Controller!
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 :)

Aye, I'll shut up now.

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.

    • Hopefully this will turn out to be the same/better than the old LOTR BFME series. Been nothing decent on the RTS scene for a long time now. Anything that does come out tends to be pretty mediocre. A new C&C Generals series would sell well

    • What if... both hardware AND software (due to their annual release cycles) got matching year release numbers? iPhone Pro 26 releases with iOS 26... For Macs, that'd be MacBook Pro 2026 releases with macOS 26 baked-in. With this proposal, the Major Version signifies latest-stable for both hardware and software, and gives them wiggle-room to optimize iOS releases for older hardware by a few months... while also incentivizing consumers to upgrade hardware for the latest-greatest software. (It would double-down on breaking their old support strategy but that's not a bad thing.)
