Question : Problem: Terminal Services for application sharing issue

Dear All,

i have a java based application used for logging peoples time. We have had a mixed response from installing java on the local PCs as it runs well on some and poorly on others. it runs in a browser.

My idea is to have one installation on a windows 2003 and allows the users to logon to that application and only that application using terminal services.
i have installed the java components and terminal services and all is working well. However here is the issue:

I dont want the users to logon to the terminal services server as themselves as its sloww trying to pull down roaming profiles etc. So i wanted to create one generic account and configure the MSTSC icon with these credentials and for it to run the application on entering terminal services, which is does perfectly.

The problem is that because they go into terminal services as the same account, if a session is not closed properly, the next user to log on picks up the last session. Which is a big problem as they can then see other peoples working time information.

Is there a fix for terminal services or setting to disable users from picking up and old session. i have entered a 1 min timeout for idle sessions, but this leaves a security hole of one minute.

There is also a timeout for disconnected sessions but you again run into the same pitfall.
You need to have them log in with their own credentials.
Do you have roaming profiles set via gpo?  If so then disable inheritance on the terminla server OU.  This way when users log on to the TS they will use local profiles instead of roaming
