We are using the switch user function within Windows 7 under an active directory network.

We have one application in particular that gives us an error:

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

bind Port 10001

Are there any other ports that can only be used at one time that might have an adverse effect on the other user? We try to mentor our users to use the log off function instead of switch user, but that doesn't always happen.

As an alternative, is it possible to disable the 'switch user' button on our machines?
