Terminal Server Question

Hello - I have installed Terminal Server (10 Licenses) and I'm wondering if logging into my Filserver where Terminal Server is installed multiple times with same user name from active directory would cause any issues.

The reason I'm using multiple TS clients/Licenses is that I've configured a SSL (Sonicwall SSL 2000) to allow outside connection into a applications our doctors can access securely. It's a virtual office portal they log into (Autenticating through AD w/ their assigned username/password) from outside and I have assigned bookmarks that they have access to the application software of my choice. This bookmark is utilizing RDP w/ActiveX and I simply point it to the FILESERVER IP and I have selected ONE Username that I have created a Policy (Lockdown), so the doctors do not see anything else except Icon on desktop of the application software. I decided to just use one account (user name/password) and apply this policy onto the configuration on SSL/AD. I guess the reason is cause I do not want this policy to be applyed on their account they use in the office. They still have to use their AD account to get into the SSL virtual office, the second account is just a Bookmark I've created utilizing this single account behind the scene. It's been working, however I have noticed that if the doctors do not log out properly and another logs on to the same system, they will see the last session that was logged in. If I have more then one user logged into this account from multiple systems, it seems to be working.

If I have locked down policies for this account - then accountability is not an issue?

I guess I'll read up more on TS.

I appreciate all your help!

There is an option in TS Configuration Manager for automatically logout and reset the session when the user disconnects...that would do you.
