There is no question that it works, I've tested it (Win2k, IIS 5, MF
XP).  Like Jim said, it's not a good security practice, plus that's a
whole lot of cookies in one basket.  You would also really have to test
performance before rolling it out, since these services are all pretty
beefy.

I have thought about creating a server like this for a few real
special, low usage apps, simply because of cost.  Up to now I've stayed
away.

I'm not sure if there is one. It is just plain good security practice
to
have the least amount of services installed on a server as possible. 
Also
IIS does consume a lot of resources that are needed for users.  I think
that
Rick D's tips document http://www.tweakcitrix.com also reccomends to
not run
IIS on the WTS.

Personally I'd never do it but I do know of comapanies that do.

Does anyone have a document or a link to information clearly explaining
the
problems with and reasons for not having IIS on a Terminal Server?
