Preemption of a Remote User by a Remote Administrator
If a remote administrator attempts to access a server that is being accessed by
a remote user, a message appears asking that the administrator wait while the
user is informed that they will be preempted. The remote user cannot reject
the preemption request and will be disconnected. The time period given
before disconnection is defined by the Video session preemption timeout
setting in the
Session
dialog box.
NOTE:
No time period will be displayed in cases where the server being viewed is
attached to an Avocent switch.

If an administrator attempts to access a server that is being accessed by the
local user or by another remote administrator with equal privileges, the
currently connected user can accept or reject the preemption request. A
message appears asking the connected local user or remote administrator
whether they want to accept the preemption request. If the preemption
request is rejected a message appears informing the remote administrator that
their request has been rejected and that they cannot access the server.
NOTE:
If the server being viewed is attached to an Avocent switch, the user is not
given the option to accept or reject preemption.
NOTE:
