hi guys, i need an advice about RDP. in simple i need a solution where multiple user (10-20 users) from different location can control one PC/server at a single session and mirror the PC/server display to user's workstation/tablet To be more precise ,I mean if one user is working on a program , another user can also use the same program without affecting each others work. Any advice??

Thanks in advance.

So the 20 users will connect to the same desktop and everyone will see the same thing, right? VNC w/ shared session.

How can they connect to the same 'shared' desktop without

affecting each others work

??

Use Hyper-V if you're on Windows or VMWare services if it's easier.

you can run windows terminal server and get this working, we have a terminal server at work that we have about 8 or so people remote connected to all day long to run a single program because we only own one license for it.

Not that I am the license police or anything of the sort, but that may be illegal depending on how your license reads. I know for office on a terminal services or xenapp environment, it needs to get licensed per user that connects (not concurrent user). Each user that connects is basically its own computer. If the user that is using it is terminated then that user cal is released for a new user. Just using office as an example here, but many other softwares follow suit.

By default server 03 allows 2 concurrent RDP sessions unless you install terminal services and to install that you have to agree to the licensing that pops up so I'm sure they are abiding by it.

... a single session and mirror the PC/server display

another user can also use the same program without affecting each others work.

I'm not sure I understand...

You want everyone logged in to the same session, yet controlling the same program without affecting each other?

What "program"?

You not only have to agree to the licensing you also have to license it or in 45 days you will not be able to rdp from that remote computer to the server. But once terminal server is licensed properly, you will need to license your software properly according to the EULA you agree to but don't ever read.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
