Good day,

Anyone know if two users using the same account connecting
to the same TS will cause problems (profiles, printer
redirection, apps, etc).

Thanks,

It shouldn't cause a crash, but there may be some oddities
noticed. They will be sharing the same profile so if one
person creates a new icon on the desktop the other person
will see it on their desktop also. The same with favorites
and if they have IE rembember a password to a web site the
other persons session can use that also. As for printers
both users will be able to see and print to the others
printer as well as delete each others printers.

The best way to think of it is that they have two sessions
going with the same root settings. If the two sessions is
from the same person it should be unnoticed by the user.
 
I'd agree with Steve, while you won't see problems, you
might see a little odd behavior sometimes.

And as a general rule for security and auditing, it is
always in your best interest to have everyone using a
different account with a different account name.
