This article was previously published under Q251045 SYMPTOMS
On Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, memory in shared code sections of system global DLLs is shared across terminal server sessions.
On Windows 2000, however, memory in shared code sections of system global DLLs cannot be shared across terminal server sessions. Instead, each session receives its own instance of the variables that are declared within a shared code section. That memory is shared among processes that are running within the same session, but is not accessible to processes in other sessions.
CAUSE
New architecture of Windows 2000 memory manager prevents shared code sections from being shared across terminal server sessions.

WORKAROUND
If an application needs to share memory across terminal server sessions on Windows 2000, it should do so through a global file mapping object.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.
