Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances


Recommended Posts

In all windows 2003 servers we have possibility to use two parallel

remote desktop connection plus one console connection.

 

(mstsc /v:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /console)

 

On all our new Windows 2008 Enterprise servers we can only have one

remote desktop connection, and it seems that it is the same as console

connection. Should we activate some services to have the same

possibilities in windows 2008?

Hello MarcusB,

 

The new REmote desktop uses the /admin switch instead of the /console. maybe

that helps.

What about two parallel terminal (RD) connections than. In old 2003

servers I can have 2 RD plus one console.

 

I will also check the /admin switch.

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

 

Whenever there is a remote user who use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)

client to connect to a Windows 2008 host, the local user is disconnected

with the local console screen locked, with or without his or her

permission. The same is with session. If there is already one session

when connecting with second remote desktop the first session i broken.

 

 

This not happen in Windows 2003. The Windows 2008 behave in my situation

like Windows XP

Hello MarcusB,

 

And without any switches only starting mstsc and using the GUI? Are you then

able to run 2 remote and one console session?

 

Best regards

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

 

Hi ,

I found the problem. It seems that Windows 2008 Enetrprise 64bit have

 

“Restrict Terminal Service users to a single remote session” policy

enabled as default eaven if it is set to "not configured".

 

When I disabled it than I could connect to the second session. When I

set it back again to "not configured" I could have only one session like

before.

 

Is it not strange?

 

 

Thanks!!
