Single individual logons.

I'd like to be able to restrict users to only being able to make one session on the Terminal services box (Win2K

At the moment if their client PC crashes, they restart and reconnect, but the reconnection usually makes a completely new session, which causes database problems as they are still already logged on in another session. Am I able to make it so that when they reconnect they are taken to their still active session rather than creating a new one? In some cases when I check the session manager there have been dozens of sessions where a user has reconnected, reconnected again, reconnected again etc

Cheers

Ok, just looked through previous post and found that ist isn't possible. Well that sucks. Ok my question now then is how can a disconnected user - re-enter the session that they already have open then.

Apparently the Knowledgebase makes reference to an app called "Locksingleuser2.exe"

Done a google for it but can't find it. Anyone else know where it is?

set the session expiry for 15 minutes idle before
disconnect

Cheers for that. My next question is where do I change that? :

Does that mean that is a user re-connects within 15minutes he will automatically be reconnected to that session, and if he doesn't it will be terminated?

Control Panel -> Administr. Tools -> "Terminal Services Configuration"
-> Sessions Tab.

No, not this setting changes that behaviour. It just disconnects the
user session if it is "idle" (no mouse/keybd activity) for a couple of
minutes.

Try this script:

terminal.servebeer.com/php/single_logon_and_reconnect.php

Had a look at that yesterday after finding that site. Couldn't get it to work, plus it assumes you are logged into your machine as the user you want to log into the Terminal Server as, and that you are on the same network at the TS.

So why wouldn't it work? I can try to tweak it if you'd
like.

The script should only be run on the terminal server, so
it doesn't matter what you logon to the local machine as,
it only matters what username you use when you logon to
the terminal server.

Also, since the script should only be run on a terminal
server it will only check for other local terminal
servers. It doesn't matter if the client is coming in
from a remote network. The script only searches for other
possible terminal servers that might be hosting another
session for the same username.
