You cannot connect to a console session of a local computer by using a console session of a remote Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer
When you use a Remote Desktop connection or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services to connect to a console session of a Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer and then you try to connect to the console session of the originating computer that is the computer that is logged onto the console session of the Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server 2003-based computer, you receive a blank screen with a blinking pointer. You may not be able to restore the originating console session for several moments until a time-out period occurs. Any other terminal services sessions on the computer are not affected.
This problem occurs because you cannot use a Remote Desktop connection or Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services to connect to the console session of a Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer and then use the console session of the Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer to connect back to the console session of the originating computer.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
