WTS session shows same screen as another concurrent session

I have build a small application by which any person around the Internet can
register himself within a members database. The application is hosted by WTS
Small Buiness Server 2003. Since it is an open subscription system, the user
needs to work with the application without any prior login needs. I've
established this by adding one user to the Windows domain and configuring
WTS such that WTS immediately starts the application after that a user has
clicked at a link within a web site and is forwarded to the WTS service.

While this has worked a few time ago at a W2003 Server , configuring the
same situation at a Small Business 2003 Server doesn't give the same
results. First of all I was not able to configure WTS to the application
mode. it only displays the administrator mode. Although the licensing
manager has been activated, it is not able to start more than two sessions.
These both problems may be due to the lack of licences at the server,
however one main thing that I noticed is that whenever the second session is
started, it always displays the screen of the first session, so user 2 sees
the same application details as the first user. Is this due to the
administration mode ?

Is there a better way to configure such a registration application by WTS
which needs a 'free login' from the user ?

regards,
Oscar
 
It is impossible to install Terminal Server (application server mode) on SBS 2003. SBS 2003 only supports Remote Desktop for Administration (Remote Administration Mode). Can you not use ASP.net or PHP to feed the info to your database, instead of using terminal server?

If users must enter the infor into a Windows GUI program and you need more than 2 connections you'll have to add another 2003 or 2000 member server as an application server?
 
I've been thinking about porting to Java applets in case I could find a good
translation tool.
Do you think that ASP or PHP would have benefits over Java for this sake ?
My main concern is the availablity of controls such as SSTab and VSFlexgrid
and to hide source details for accessing database, that's why I first think
of Java. I know it's beyond the scope of this ng but maybe you can advise me
on this subject.
