More than Two Admins

[Guest Lynn]

Ah, yes. My very special snowflake systems. :P

 

I have a system that because of the nature of the work, requires multiple

admins to be logged into my 2003 Enterprise Server. We have four admins who

need remote access. We even have CAL's for these admins.

 

TS is currently set up in remote admin mode, which everyone knows allows 2

concurrent connections.

 

I do not want to run TS in Application mode, there's no need the server to

serve applications. Besides, installing TS it would break the proprietary

software that lives there.

 

I need to be able to allow remote administration for FOUR admins

concurrently (don't ask, it wasn't my idea!) using remote administration. Is

there any way to make this work or should I wish for a pink pony and a

million dollars, while I am at it?

 

Thanks very much for any insight!

Hello Lynn,

 

Not possible, it's by design. And remote administration mode you can use

without a CAL.

Actually, you can get 3 admins in simultaneously, 2 normal sessions

and 1 to the console (mstsc /console). But that's the limit.
