I am using Remote Dektop to connect to a server.
The server is running under an admin account, let's call it "admin1". I fire up Remote Destop from my laptop, and logon with a different admin account, call it "admin2".
Normally in windows if you switch users, applications will be stopped. Is this (logging on with admin2) going to have any impact on the applications running on the server (under the admin1 profile).

The Server version of the software permits multiple RDP connections.
Remote Administration mode permits two connections to be made and therefore you will be able to connect as admin2 and leave the admin1 account untouched.
If admin1 is running on the server console, then you can even disconnect the RDP session as admin2 and reconnect as admin3 without disturbing any active programs

If running 2003 server, No. if running windows XP Yes. Windows XP using remote desktop most often logs any existing users out of the system. in Server 2003 you can have multiple remote desktop connections with out logging others off. So it should keep and maintain the programs on the Admin 1 account

Agree with Gear, perhaps Blitz are saying the same thing by saying "Server version". XP's RDP is modified to kick out the existing screen.
But it is logging out completely in XP, not just kicking out the screen.

in server 2003 there will be no impact on the logged in admin... he will continue his work without any prob, but in win XP it will log off the current users
