I was working on migrating VM’s via Hyper V cluster failover remotely, and a college asked if there was a way to Shadow. We tried both connecting to 1 host via logmein with no luck. I searched and found a way to shadow via RDP.
1.) I was log’d host via logmein (could easily be RDP)
2.) I then created another domain admin user called test since I was on as administrator. They logged into another host on the same network via logmein as the test user
3.) Then they RDP’d as the user test to the server I was logged into as administrator
4.) I opened remote desktop services manager and looked to see the session number administrator was logged in as (it was session 3)
5.) They opened command prompt (right clicked run as administrator). In the command prompt they typed: shadow 3
6.) I was prompted “Do you want to relinquish control” which I did.
7.) They could then see my desktop and do whatever in it, but I couldn’t see
8.) I X’d out and reconnected and we were golden.
9.) + stops the shadow
