More than Two Admins

Ah, yes. My very special snowflake systems. :P

I have a system that because of the nature of the work, requires multiple
admins to be logged into my 2003 Enterprise Server. We have four admins who
need remote access. We even have CAL's for these admins.

TS is currently set up in remote admin mode, which everyone knows allows 2
concurrent connections.

I do not want to run TS in Application mode, there's no need the server to
serve applications. Besides, installing TS it would break the proprietary
software that lives there.

I need to be able to allow remote administration for FOUR admins
concurrently (don't ask, it wasn't my idea!) using remote administration. Is
there any way to make this work or should I wish for a pink pony and a
million dollars, while I am at it?

Thanks very much for any insight!

Hello Lynn,

Not possible, it's by design. And remote administration mode you can use
without a CAL.

Re: More than Two Admins

Actually, you can get 3 admins in simultaneously, 2 normal sessions
and 1 to the console (mstsc /console). But that's the limit.
