Sorry to insist on this, but even if you log into the TS with the same user,
session do not get shared. This is not how IE works.
Anyway, having different users makes your life easier. See below.

I have a few bits to play with checking out what each browser does via TS.

I think there is no way to get the process id of a remote http session.
Therefor you will not get the terminal session id and once again, no client
name. You would need something local with access to the process id of the
browser, such as activex...

> The users love tabbed browsing once they see it, and often they need three
or four links open when dealing with a client, for which IE is a pain.

IE does not support this itself, but there are a lot of addons (like
"netcaptor") wich add that functionallity while still using IE under the
hood.

For tabs?

IF the browser is IE, you can use Windows internal authentication (NTLN).
This can work without showing login boxes to the user.
See http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/ntlmhttpauth.html as a starting point.
