Very sarcastic. MS documentation on Winsta managemet is very poor IMHO.
AFAIK, there's a way to open a "tunnel" to another Winsta, but the API was
less than barely clear for me.

Yes, local server only can run with:
- FB service + interaction with the desktop
- FB as plain application running in the same Winsta than the user.

I don't think that XNET does something very different to the IPC
