limiting number of instances in Windows terminal server

[mjustin]

Zitat von Dalai:

Yes, reading the number of processes running as user X is another possible approach. Unfortunately I don't know how to read the user a process runs as, even less when TS is involved.

It is easy to count the instances running in the current session. Example in .Net:

Code:

private static int CountApplicationInstances()
    {
        var currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
        var processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(currentProcess.ProcessName);

        // test if there's another process running in current session.
        var intTotalRunningInCurrentSession = processes.Count(prc => prc.SessionId == currentProcess.SessionId);

        return intTotalRunningInCurrentSession;
    }
