Why it's bad:
- Security and auditing people HATE IT. No auditability. And when
someone is asked to change the password, who changes it, and how does
everyone else find out about it?
- Can cause problems with multiple people trying to make changes to the
same profile or application settings
- Sometimes it doesn't work. :)

Subject: [THIN] Multiple Users Sharing one Domain Account
Hello-
I have a tech that setup several offices connecting in to our Citrix
farm remotely. We were running 6 Metaframe XP FR3 servers on Windows
2000 sp4 boxes. This tech setup the office users to all use the same
domain account to logon to a published desktop to these servers.
Apparently this use to actually work before we upgraded.
We now run 6 Metaframe XP FR3 boxes on Server 2003 sp1 boxes. Now when
they happen to logon to this published desktop and hit the same server,
the first session will get overwritten/disconnected.
Can someone help me list out the MULTIPLE reasons that this type of
setup is a bad idea. And also help me understand why it might have
worked on the old servers and not the new servers?
Thanks!
