[DUG] Terminal Server

[Laurence Bevan]

Yes, if your Active Directory policy allows it, you can login to multiple Terminal Server sessions
with the same login. We do it at our Council sites where they have a training suite and everyone
logs on with the same login.

Now I'm confused what the original question was, but you can't log in to
more than one Terminal Server (2003) session with the same login. I.E if you
login to a TS box that you have already logged into, it will close that
session and open a new one.

The answer is yes - you can logon as many times as you like on a Windows
network with the same
login. If you're logging in through Terminal Server there is a session name
which will be unique.
On a Windows network, the computer name/login name combination will be
unique.

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
