That's what they told me..  They did say that only one person per TS server
could mount a PGP disk though, whatever that is..  (we don't use that here,

Interesting.  Didn't know that.  I know that with 8.02 and prior
versions, the service would fail to start, and complain that it was
already running when a user attempted to log into an ICA/RDP session.
 I will have to test this out on my lab servers.
