Help - need more than 2 concurrent RDP connections

[Guest segis bata]

Hello all,

 

Sorry if this issue has been resolved before but I went through the messages

in the newsgroup and sadly I didn't find anything that could help me. So,

here's my situation. I have a stand-alone server, running Win2003 Server,

located outside our office. We connect to that server from our office using

Remote Desktop. Currently, we're four people that need to connect using

Remote Desktop to that server but we manage (80%) to be connected only two

of us at the same time, because if a third user tries to connect using

Remote Desktop, he'll receive a message saying that the concurrent user

limit (2) was reached.

 

My question is, how can I set that number to be higher? is it a setting? and

if so, where do I make the change. Is it because I need more Remote Desktop

licenses in that server? and if so, how are they called, where can I buy

them and how can I install them? if it's something else, also, please let me

know; we're growing and probably within 2 months, 2 or 3 more people will

need to use Remote Desktop to that server and our current 80% success rate

in connecting there will dramatically drop.

 

Thanks in advance for all your help,

SB-R

Without real TS licenses you can have 3 people accessing you W2003 server -

2 "normal" and 1 on the console (use "/console" when connecting to the

server.

If you need more then 2+1 connections you have to have a "real" Terminal

Server (You have to give your server the role of 'Terminal Server'). That

server can also act as Terminal License Server - ask your Microsoft dealer

for details about licenses and prices.
