From: dm1608 on 2 Aug 2008 21:38
Hello all --

I have a Windows 2008 Std installation with Terminal Services installed.

The server is a member server of an Active Directory domain.

I initially installed and used the Terminal Server on the 2008 machine
during the trial period.

I setup Remote Apps and had copied the .rdp files to my local workstation.

Everything was working fine and life was good. I really enjoy the RemoteApp
feature.

I later activated Windows and soon thereafter ran VMware's CONVERT to P2V
the machine to an ESX 3.5 host. No issues here.

When I logged into the machine for the first time under ESX, it deteched
that the hardware had changed and I needed to re-activate Windows within 3
days. At that time, I re-activated windows. I also noticed that Terminal
Sever licensing was no longer working and I called Microsoft to activate the
licensing server and add a 5-user CAL for Terminal Server. All appears to
be fine here.

The problem:

I have noticed that every time I launch a RemoteApp now, I enter my domain
credentials and the application comes up. No issues.

However, when I start my second application and enter my login credentials,
a MsgBox appears stating:

TItle: Remote Programs Disconnected
Msg: Your Remote Desktop session has ended.
Msg: Another user connected to the remote computer, so your connection was
lost. Try connecitng again, or contact technical support for assistance.

There is only an OK and HELP button. If I hit, OK, the program that I was
trying to launch still comes up and now both programs work. If I launch the
third program, the same thing happens and all three programs are running.

It doesn't look like I"m really being disconnected. And it is like the
terminal server thinks I'm currently logged in with another session and I'm
about to disconnect that session and reconnect as a new connection. Maybe
that is what is happening and is the reason why I can still see all my
applications.

How can I resolve this so I'm not prompted with the silly message. I am not
logged into console or any other session other than having the first
RemoteApp running.

I have rebooted server with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi -- I checked and that key doesn't exist on my system.

I do belong to the domain administrators group while logging on .

Strange, because everything in your problem description indicates
that the server is configured for a single session per user, and
every new connection takes over the previous one.
Have you checked this setting in the TS Configuration GUI and
checked your GPO?

I have no idea if this is correct, but I changed the "Restrict each user to
a single session" from "Yes" to "No" and now it works as expected.

It appears to behave the way it used to. I have no idea if this is the best
approach??

If I log in using RDP now (Not using RemoteApp) to the server from one
machine... and then go to another machine to login, I assume I will have a
unique session and my first won't be disconnected??
