Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition Service Pack 2 running Terminal Services
Client OS: Windows XP service pack 2
Remote Desktop control version 5.1.2600.2180

The server can accept "unlimited" number of connections. In practice, about
20 users use it on a day to day basis, all having remote admin permissions.

For all but two users, this is working fine, they can work at the same time.
However, for the two users, if one logs on, the other cannot log on without
disconnecting the first user. It is only affecting these two users. Cloned
the AD account of one user, to see if that solved anything. It didn't. Any
ideas?

Thanks
 
Re: Two specific users disconnecting each other

Mmm, this can only happen when those 2 users log on to the TS with
the same user account (maybe hardcoded in the rdp connection file
on the XP clients?), and the TS is configured to allow only a
single session per user account.

Re: Two specific users disconnecting each other

are both domain/local users? What user groups are they belong to? Can you
please verify if they use mstsc /console to connect to win2003 server?
