Run Multiple VNC Services on One Windows XP Machine

you can run multiple vnc sessions
but they will show the same display screen

vnc shows windows terminal display 0

which is why there is a problem with fast-user-switching
if I log in as user1 then do a logout>switch user
session 0 is still in use by user1

if a second user2 logs in and is active a problem occurs

when you vnc to the station it connects to session 0
logging the second user out of their session
and the vnc session will go back to the login screen

now you could set up user mode server for each user to access that 
logged in users session
of course on a different port to not knock out that user2 session

but I do not believe each user can be logged in at the same time
please test and report  your findings :-)
