Remote desktop to Win2k3 server starts new session

I use RD to connect to a number of remote servers over a VPN. This VPN can sometime drop out unexpectedly and then it seems to be a lottery as to whether I can connect back to the same RD session I was on or a new one. Every time this happens I can view the sessions in Task Manager and see that there are 2 running for my hostname however I don't know how to get back into the original one. Is there a way to specify a particular session to connect to?

I have tried connecting once to fill up the remaining RD slot and then connecting again however it then just gives me the 'Terminal server has reached it's maximum connections' message rather than letting me choose one to resume. I don't want to have to use /admin.

Is it possible to connect to a particular session?

Solution 1:

You said you can see the other sessions in Task Manager, have you tried right clicking and choosing the Connect option?
