Hello!
One of our win 10 clients ( workgroup ) is located at a remote Place ( 3 levels underground collecting data ). We can access this computer with RemoteDesktop. But if someone is logged in with userA and userB want to login, the only information the system says is that Another user is using the computer. Is it possible to show which user so userB can Contact that person? We don´t need concurrent users.
Played around with som local interactive policies but no success.

Install remote desktop services manager and then you can use it to connect to the remote machine and view all users who are logged in. It works for servers. It might work for Windows 10 with RDP also. There are also some commands you can try. Open a command prompt and type query user /server:computername where computer name is the name of the machine you want to query. The account you use will probably need to have local admin rights on the remote machine for this to work.

This link should allow you to download the GUI tools you need to remotely view and manage Remote Desktop users.

I do not know of a way to have all logged in users show up at the login screen.
