It gets a little more complicated than that.  From the original e-mail...

"we have the challenge, that our users use common service accounts to login
into a windows server with rdp"

So, the users are sharing Windows accounts, which is why one use can
close/disconnect the Guacamole session and another user can come back and
log in to that disconnected session and get the same session that the
previous user had.

Again, I don't think this is a challenge with Guacamole, nor is it
something that Guacamole can resolve - this sounds to me more like a
Windows RDP session management issue.
