How many

[Guest lmelm]

How many terminal server sessions, at the same time, can be opened in a

Windows 2003 server?

Re: How many

 

If your server runs in application server mode there is no hard-coded limit

as long as you have enough TS licenses and hardware resources available.

Memory, hard disk I/O or CPU may be the real limit.

 

If your server is not a Terminal Server und you only want to RDP into it as

admin without using any TS licenses there is a limit of two sessions

hard-coded into the kernel.

Re: How many

 

The number of licenses is your limit. Theoretically there is no other limit.

Well, there may be some built-in maximum of sessions but I don't know

anybody who ever reached it. If your server is big enough you can have

several hundred sessions on one box.
