Fast User Switching with Windows 7 and Smallbusiness Server 2003 ?
Hello, We have a customer, with new Windows 7 PC's integrated into a older Small Business Server 2003 with Roaming Profiles. No my customer reported me a strange behavior when he logs on with a different user on a already logged on pc which is locked by a other user. What he is doing is press Cont. Alt Del and click on Logon as another user. When this new logged on person logs out then the previous logged on user comes back he experience problems with printing and access to Server Shares. Is fast User Switching in a Server 2003 Domain environment with roaming profiles supported? What could be done if we disable fast user switching and a other user wants to logon on a locked PC? In Windows XP there was a option to logon as a Administrator and this would force a logout of the locked session. How does this work on a Windows 7 PC ? Regards Heinz IT-Support Buero AG

Hello Heinz, 1. IMHO this is on side of SBS. Give try to SBS forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/sbsserver 2. This behaviour may depend on licensing. 3. What is response in Event logs? 4. If neither of 1,2 and 3 helps, dig deeper with network monitor. Regards Milos

Hi , You may try to take the following steps to use the group policy to disable the fast user switch feature: To do this, click Start, type Group policy in the Start Search box, click Edit group policy. Navigate to Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Logon. Double click Hide entry point for Fast User Switching, choose Enabled. By enabling the policy, Administrators hide the Switch user button in the Logon UI, the Start menu and the Task Manager.
