Hi

On Windows 2003 Server you are allowed to log on with several remote desktop
sessions on the same user. This causes some problems for us since some of our
user don't understand this. Hence they start programs several time and
'loose' what was on their old desktop and so on.

Is there a way I can limit this behavour so I'm sure only one Remote Desktop
session exist per user? Like its done in XP Professional?

Kind Regards

Yes you can.

Go to administrative tools, then click on Terminal Services
Configuration

Inside this program you will see some folders on the left -> click on
server settings

You should see an option on the right (Restrict each user to one
session)

Set this to true.

Now when they try to login twice it will disconnect the previous one

If the server is configured as a Terminal Server in Application mode you can
set the "Restrict user to one session" to yes or no through Terminal Services
configuration.
