I actually wanted to avoid concurrent sessions if possible: I'm a bit concerned about messing up the profile. What I really want is a way for people to know if a session is already active before connecting.

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server, and would like to have users be able to share a certain generic user account. However, when a session is running and a second user logs connects using that account, &nbsp;the active user's session is disconnected without warning. It it possible to have windows warn that a session is already active before connecting?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
