Guest Mike Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hi I am currently allowing external users to run applications remotely on a 2k3 r2 server via VPN and RDP. The 2 users rule is becoming a problem as there are more people who need to connect than that. The applications that are used (I have been advised by the developers) do not and are not ever likely to be compatibly with application mode. Is it possible to extend the amount of people who are able to connect to the TS in admin mode by purchasing licenses for them? Many Thanks
Guest Myweb Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: Allowing more than 2 connections to 2003 R2 box Hello Mike, You have to change from Remote Administration mode to Application mode and then you have to buy Terminal server licenses for every user logging on to the TS. Additional you have to install the Terminal Services License server, which will contro the access. You must have the TS licenses. By default the server runs 120 days without licenses and then stops working. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/termservlic.mspx Best regards Myweb Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > Hi > > I am currently allowing external users to run applications remotely on > a 2k3 r2 server via VPN and RDP. > > The 2 users rule is becoming a problem as there are more people who > need to connect than that. > > The applications that are used (I have been advised by the developers) > do not and are not ever likely to be compatibly with application mode. > > Is it possible to extend the amount of people who are able to connect > to the TS in admin mode by purchasing licenses for them? > > Many Thanks >

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: Allowing more than 2 connections to 2003 R2 box Yes, be sure to test this thoroughly, with multiple concurrent users connections, since you wrote that "the applications do not and are not ever likely to be compatibly with application mode". I might also be good to know that Terminal Services (which implies Application mode, as it was called in W2K) must be installed *before* you install any user applications. So you cannot install it on your existing server without first uninstalling all applications. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?TWlrZQ==?= <Mike@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 24 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Will give this a go on a test domain. > > Many Thanks > > Mike > > "Myweb" wrote: > >> Hello Mike, >> >> You have to change from Remote Administration mode to >> Application mode and then you have to buy Terminal server >> licenses for every user logging on to the TS.
