    I've been implementing VIPs in a test RDS environment.

    I've hit a few roadblocks along the way:

    1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259
    2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2619880

    But now I have another issue, I would like to use the msra tool for supporting the staff. If I have an administrator logged onto the console session (so there is no Virtual IPs assigned yet) and no other sessions then I can shadow that session with msra.

    However if I have just one more session then msra fails to connect to the server.

    Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    I have spent some time with Microsoft Support on this. They have confirmed that they can reproduce this issue. However, they have said to me that this is by design. I am disappointed, but at least I have an answer.

    I will work around this by having an administrative user automatically log onto the servers console session. So long as there is an administrative user in the console session, shadowing works.

    I have asked Microsoft to provide a KB article for this issue.

    Pls don't use the console session to logon to the TS,use the Terminal session and then shadow the session to see whether it works.As far as i know,you can't shadow the session within console.

    Sorry you misunderstood my question.

    Lets say I am on a Computer and I wish to shadow a user on Server A

    If Server A has IP Virtualization enabled the following scenario happens:

    1. If the user on Server A is logged onto the console session, and there are no other users logged onto Server A then I can shadow them without issue from my Computer
    2. If the user on Server A is logged onto the console session, and there ARE other users logged onto Server A using remote sessions (with Virtual IPs), then if I try to provide assistance, it fails to connect.
    3. If the user on Server A is logged onto a remote session, this session has a Virtual IP and if I try to connect to Server A to provide assistance, it fails to connect

    If I disable IP Virtualisation completely on the server then I can provide assistance no matter what the situation.
