The console is rather "passive" about multiple users.  It should generate an 
error in case there are conflicting updates, but otherwise yes, you're going to 
see some odd behaviors with multiple users.

My suggestion would be to use the web interface available on CodePlex if you 
want to have a simple GUI that works better with multiple users.

Thanks,

Subject: [mssms] Multiple users accessing the MDT DB

Is there advice on handle that properly?

I've started the console twice, with the same user, added a dummy entry on the 
first console.

One issue is that the 2nd console wouldn't show that entry. Refresh isn't doing 
anything. I had to close and open again.
The same happens of course when entries are changed or added. Unless the other 
console is closed and open again it wouldn't show.

Those two even showed different values for the same ID, depending on where it 
was changed.
That of course can cause inconsistency and entries being overwritten.

I don't plan to use the console anyway, but a powershell based GUI, with the 
MDT-module from Niehaus.
Would I ran into the same problems, or how do I handle multiple users then?
