I understand that Windows can allow multiple different user logins to the same machine at the same time, either via remote desktop program such as Citrix or other means.
My question is that, does Windows allows multiple same user login to the same machine at the same time? Let's say, I have an account with the user name John, and this John gives the account name and password to his niece, and now both of them want to log into the Windows machine at the same time and do different things-- via remote login.
Is this scenario possible?

1Are both people physically at the same computer? Or do you mean remotely logging into a user profile? There is a group policy for Windows domains that allows concurrent logins, if that's any help. – iglvzx – 2012-06-29T04:15:09.420
1Remote logging. – Graviton – 2012-06-29T04:26:51.403
The same computer at once? How would that work? Or do you mean, different computers networked, and the same username? – cutrightjm – 2012-06-29T04:27:01.353
@Gravitron remote logging disables the user profile in use, when using default Windows software. I assume all other solutions do as well. – cutrightjm – 2012-06-29T04:27:36.213
@ekaj, I don't understand how your comment relates to my question. – Graviton – 2012-06-29T04:30:27.513
1... it clearly relates. You didn't specify "remote logging" when I had posted that comment. – cutrightjm – 2012-06-29T04:36:55.713
