Oh ok. Ours is setup that if you try and login when a session is open it closes that session and opens a new one.
Didn't realize there was any other option. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurence Bevan Sent: Wednesday, 3 May 2006 2:53 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [DUG] Terminal Server 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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurence Bevan Sent: Wednesday, 3 May 2006 2:38 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DUG] Terminal Server 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.
