Hi,

   I need to put user profile's on SAN (multiple TS will be using them) and
restrict a single logon too. So I'm wondering if LockSingleUser tool will be
working in such envoiroment ....or maybe someone has another idea how to
resolve this problem (not using the Session Directory)....

greetings

Yes, this will work.
LockSingleUser creates a lockfile in the users home directory, so it
workes from multiple servers and with profiles and home directories
on a SAN.

I assume that you are running W2K TS, correct? Because on 2003 TS,
you can use a Group Policy setting to restrict users to a single
session only (without using Sessions Directory):

Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows
Components - Terminal Services
"Restrict Terminal Services Users to a single remote session"

Well I'm using 2003 TS, but since it's not a cluster, just bunch of
computers, I have to use some lockfile dependent method, to be sure that
same user will not logon through another server.

BTW, I've heard something about new release of 2003 Server coming this year,
with few new features for TS.
Do you know, maybe, when we can excpect this release ? :))
