It is vary easy to mistake Terminal Server with Remote Desktop.

In sbs you are allowed 2 "Remote Desktop" connections mainly for
Adminitration purposes. This is very different from a Terminal Server
connection. You can very well run into problems running applications at the
same time in 2 Remote Desktop connections as it does not provide for temp
files to be seperated between the 2 sessions among other things.

Terminal Server is specifically suited for running applications concurrently
in multiple sessions (if configured in application mode) protecting users
from each others use and shouldn't be confused with Remote Desktop (although
connecting is the same in both cases.)
