thanks, it's taking me to the login screen, but when itry and log in it says i cant ebcause of an account restriction.

how can i get around this?

Also i want to the pc's to stay logged in so if im passing i can locally use them as well (Keeps all the programs running etC)

You must be logging in as a user that is either an Administrator or a user in the Remote Desktop Users group on that particular PC.

Use "mstsc /console" to start the connection.
The user on the PC your connecting to will be logged off locally but you'll get access to their desktop and running programs. After you finish they will have to log back in. Videos and games kill the connection!

Got it working thanks guys!

I had to gpedit.msc because the admin account had a null password.
