Citrix could maybe fool the user into thinking the apps were running in
simultaneous connections. If the user started Notepad on machine #1 then went
over to machine #2 and logged in with "reconnect online sessions" set, Notepad
will be sucked out of machine #1 and onto machine #2. He/she could then start
up Calc and then go back to machine #1. Doing anything to trigger another
"reconnect online sessions" will suck both applications back to machine #1
again.
It's more of a ping-pong than simultaneous.

Beats the heck out of me. :-)
It now appears as if I may have been misinformed - I was able to use a Citrix
login, and the behavior there is the same as what I am seeing with RDS. I can
have multiple sessions open at the same time, from multiple locations. But the
app itself only executes in one of session at a time. (as I would have thought
and expected).
So I have a sneaking suspicion that the person describing the current process
and requirements doesn't know what they're talking about. LOL
I thought I was doing something wrong. I think it's more likely that I was told
wrong, that the app doesn't execute in multiple simultaneous connections, but
that the users need to stay signed into the remote environment (with the app
executing in only one of the environments at a time). It sounded a bit too good
to be true, but hey - maybe Citrix is able to do some magic to make that happen
that way, what do I know ..
