[DUG] Terminal Server

[Rohit Gupta]

Hey, thanks.  If this works, I like it.  The one I use is a pig of thing obtained 
from MS.  and it tells me that all XP sessions are TS sessions.  :-)

Aha - Now I am confused!

Can the same login name be used on a Windows network from 2 different
screens?

I have now been given two answers - yes and no from two people who I was
sure knew the answer until now!

Incidentally this code works to detect if the program is running in a
RDP/Terminal Server session, I tested it to make sure it is compatible with
all of Windows 95/98/XP/2003 TS.

function xfIsRemoteSession: Boolean;
const
  sm_RemoteSession = $1000; { from WinUser.h }
begin
  Result := (GetSystemMetrics(sm_RemoteSession) <> 0);
end;

Hello John

I thought a Windows login name was unique. The domain logged into requires, 
as far as I know, a unique login name. Win 2003 server will not accept a 
login name that is not unique. I am using the Windows login name to identify

users in a Delphi Firebird apps.

Russell
