I think the clearest indication of that is the fact that, when you connect to a (Windows) server where someone is already logged in, the authentication succeeds, but then you get the dialog box telling you that the maximum number of connections has been reached, and asking you who you'd like to request to kick off. You might be able to solve the problem by doing the following two things: 1) Adjust GPO such that users are not allowed to disconnect other users (see "Deny logoff of an administrator logged on to the console session" for example - there may be other policies that apply). 2) Make sure that your Guacamole connections are configured to always connect to the local console session. -Nick >
