Multiple IE processes on terminal server

April 30, 2008

I have Outlook 2007 and IE7 running on a W2K3 terminal server (in execute

mode). Here is the specific problem I have: there is a link to a website

that requires a login in the e-mail. I click on the link in the e-mail and I

am taken to the correct site and prompted for log in. After logging in, I am

redirected to the content referenced from the link in the e-mail. In the

same message, I click on another link that should take me to different

content on the same site, opened in a new tab. However, a new iexplore

process is started and I am once again prompted to log in. After logging in

again I am redirected to the correct content. How can I keep from having

separate iexplore processes from opening?

Here are some of the tests I've tried so far:

1. This works flawlessly on a WinXP Pro SP2 computer.

2. On the terminal server, if I copy the link in Outlook then manually open

a new tab and paste the link - I am not prompted for another log in.

3. If I am using OWA the links work without a problem.

Is there a way to keep Outlook from creating separate instances of the

iexplore process in terminal server?
