Terminal Services Sessions (Windows CE 5.0)
When a user logs on to a Terminal Services–enabled computer, a session is started for that user. Each session is identified by a unique session identifier. A user can log on multiple times, creating a separate session identifier for each session. The effect is as if the user were simultaneously logged on to multiple machines.
The user associated with the interactive window station for a session is known as the interactive user.
On a Remote Desktop client, there can be multiple interactive users in addition to the interactive user on the Terminal Services console. When a user logs off from a remote desktop, the user session on the Terminal Server is deleted and the window stations and desktops associated with that session are removed. However, because the Terminal Services console session is never deleted, the window stations associated with the console session are not deleted. This affects how applications behave in a Terminal Services environment when they are configured to run in the security context of the interactive user.
