allow multiple remote desktop connections
| Posted by linktome, 07-12-2009, 05:33 AM |
| By default, it seems there are only 2 remote desktop connections allowed to a Windows server. If I need more, for example, up to 10 connections at the same time, how to do that?
Thank you.

| Alternatively, if this is an option for you, use VNC.

| Yes this is a restriction to prevent you from using it as a terminal server. Max 2 connections is all you should need for remote administration, this is why MS does this. As Jackpx said, you'll need to buy a licence for more connections.

| Along with two normal terminal services login, you also have an option for a console login. So, without purchasing additional licenses, 3 people can access the server using RDP at a time.

| You can purchase either user license or device license. Check your requirement and purchase the appropriate license.
