10 simultaneous remote user limit in XP SP2

[Guest PinoyGeek]

Good day!!!

 

Need your help guys, just want to ask if it is possible to disable the 10

simultaneous remote user in Windows XP SP2 and how? My client bought

Quickbooks for 20 users and installed it in a license XP SP2, they don't have

enough budget for Server 2003, the problem is they can't maximize the 20,

when they reach the 10 simultaneous users, it blocks the access and a message

appears.

 

Any help is highly appreciated, more power and god bless.

Sorry, you cannot remove this restriction. If you have more than

10 users who need concurrent access to a shared resource then

you have to move to a server environment, which is highly

recommended anyway in an office of 20 users. Have a look at

Small Business Server - it's competitively priced and probably

ideal for your environment. It will pay for itself in no time at all

for the following reasons:

- Centralised file storage.

- Centralised file backup.

- Centralised account administration.

- Centralised administration through logon scripting.

Windows 98 for the "server."

Simply disable File & Print Sharing, and de-select the exception for

File & Print Sharing of the Windows Firewall. All remote users

disabled, as requested.

Don't see what this has to do with your question above. Be that as it

may, if your client needs a host machine (server) that supports more

than 10 simultaneous connections, he'll have to replace the workstation

operating system (WinXP) with a server operating system. Period. If he

can't afford a Microsoft Server OS, there's always Linux. It's free.

(Don't know if it can be made to support QuickBooks, though. I rather

doubt it.)
