RDP connections for Remote Admin

[Guest Mike O'Connor]

Hello,

 

I have a requirement to allow 4 conncurrent RDP sessions to an existing W2K3

server. Terminal Server is not running on the server. Currently, we are just

using the default RDP setup which allows 2 RDP connections. Is there a way

to increase the Remote Admin connections to 4?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

No, not without installing Terminal Server and purchasing

licenses. You can have two regular RDP sessions plus one

console RDP session when in Remote Administration mode.

 

Please note that the 2+1 connections are licensed for Remote

Administration purposes only.

 

Terminal Server is installed through Add/Remove Windows

Components. If you choose to install it keep in mind that

you will also need a TS Licensing server on your network as

well. Once TS Licensing is installed you need to activate it

and then install your purchased TS CALs.

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I get a warning when I start to install TS that all the existing programs

will no longer work and they will need to be reinstalled.

 

Will I be able to keep the TS in Remote Administration mode so the programs

are not affected?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

No. If you want four concurrent connections then you need

to switch. Many programs are unaffected by the mode

switch, however, some are.
