How can multiple users remotely access the same windows machine concurrently?

Hello,

I have created a VM test lab that includes an AD domain controller and 8 member machines. These machines are running 2008r2 or Windows 7 pro.
Users from outside this lab environment can RDP into any of these machines and review applications or make changes to these applications.
Of course with RDP, only one user can access one machine at a time.  Ideally, I need to do the following;


  • Implement support that allows multiple users to remotely access the same windows machine concurrently.
  • Allow each user to make changes to an application while in their own session on the same machine and be warned if changes to that application have been made by another user connected to that same machine at the same time.
    A console is available where I (as the admin) can see current connection status to any of the 8 machines in the lab.

    Any information or guidance is appreciated.

    I dont think windows 7 will support multiple sessions, 2008R2 will support 2 at the same time, but dont expect warnings of changes.

    Windows has a remote desktop manager it view the logged in sessions, and remote desktops to provide a tool to organize your remote machines.
