Windows 7 remote desktop connection cannot logoff the local user

Question

Remote Desktop connection:
(This experience is from Windows 7 remote to Windows Embedded Standard 7 computer)

I used Remote Desktop to try to log on to a Windows 7 (WES7E) computer and someone is already logged on locally, I saw a message like this:

"Another user is currently logged on to this computer.  If you continue, this user has to disconnect from this computer.  Do you want to continue?"

I click on Yes.

Then I saw "Please wait for [username] to respond".  No action 

from the logged-on local user, I waited for 30 seconds, then I was able to login the computer and at the same time was able to disconnect the logged-on local user. 

Question:

1. "Another user is currently logged on to this computer..." message doesn't show me the actual logged-on user name.  Is there any way to show the user name in this pop-up message?

2. After waiting for 30 seconds, I was able to login the computer and the logged-on local user is disconnected, however this local user is never been logged-off.  I want to logoff the local user
when I made the connection to the computer from remote desktop.  Is there any group policy can change the behavior?
