In all windows 2003 servers we have possibility to use two parallel
remote desktop connection plus one console connection.

(mstsc /v:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /console)

On all our new Windows 2008 Enterprise servers we can only have one
remote desktop connection, and it seems that it is the same as console
connection. Should we activate some services to have the same
possibilities in windows 2008?

Hello MarcusB,

The new REmote desktop uses the /admin switch instead of the /console. maybe
that helps.

Best regards

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

What about two parallel terminal (RD) connections than. In old 2003
servers I can have 2 RD plus one console.

I will also check the /admin switch.

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

Whenever there is a remote user who use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)
client to connect to a Windows 2008 host, the local user is disconnected
with the local console screen locked, with or without his or her
permission. The same is with session. If there is already one session
when connecting with second remote desktop the first session i broken.


This not happen in Windows 2003. The Windows 2008 behave in my situation
like Windows XP

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

Hello MarcusB,

And without any switches only starting mstsc and using the GUI? Are you then
able to run 2 remote and one console session?

Re: Windows 2008 Remote desktop instances

Hi ,
I found the problem. It seems that Windows 2008 Enetrprise 64bit have

“Restrict Terminal Service users to a single remote session” policy
enabled as default eaven if it is set to "not configured".

When I disabled it than I could connect to the second session. When I
set it back again to "not configured" I could have only one session like
before.

Is it not strange?


Thanks!!

Rafael
