Hello all,
We have a Windows 2008 Terminal Server which people connect into to
run their programs. We are getting upwards of 60 people connecting in
at any time. We are seeing error messages from the application
complaining that it can't access one of the files on one of the
shares. I have read that this problem is likely to be due to the fact
that we run one machine as a terminal server and there is only one
netbios host being used by mutliple people. The paper I have read from
HP refers to registry key called "MultiUserEnabled" on earlier
versions of windows terminal server needs to be set to 1 in order for
the father smbd process to recognise different sessions connecting
from the one host.
The paper is at

I'll look around this afternoon and see if there are any clues that 2008
has a newly-named mulit-user parm.

Ron - I cannot find any evidence that
MultiUserEnabled/EnableMultiUser/MultipleUsersOnConnection has been
rolled forward into Windows 2008. It's possible that the functionality
was embedded in 2008 - but very unlikely. Can you verify that your 60
TS users are being serviced from one Samba smbd? If you do not have any
non-TS users connecting, then that is easy enough by doing a "ps -ef |
grep smbd" and seeing if there are 61 processes or 2. In the
whitepaper, there are several workarounds suggested.
I'll see if I can find out from MS what the story is about 2008, but for
2000 and 2003 it was a 3-year delay each time, as I recall.
