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.

    • You might want to update to 1TB drive.  They are not very expensive these days, there are plenty of options - simple look I would think you could find a 1TB ssd or even nvme somewhere between 50 and 100 bucks. when I have moved to larger ssds in laptop in the past, you can just connect the drive via usb - image.  Then take the old drive out, put in the new drive and there you go..  If your concerned about how much space you have left this prob your best bet..   
    • I see! Wasn’t aware of that. Even though they started off with desktop app for Mac before Windows. Should be on it’s way soon! 🤞

    • It's a Developer Beta 1 not even a Public or User Beta, I doubt any of the design is 100% finalized yet.
