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.

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; John -----Original Message----- From: staff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 3 May 2006 1:41 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Terminal Server 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.
