If an office workstation is turned on, either in wake/sleep/logged off/logged in mode, is it possible to remote desktop into that workstation given that I have full admin priviledge to the Windows Server and Active Directory governing the authentication?

What settings is required to check the status of the workstation as well as remote desktop sucessfully?

Thanks.

NB: There is no one in office. I connect via VPN to the Windows Sever.
