Hello all,

Sorry if this issue has been resolved before but I went through the messages
in the newsgroup and sadly I didn't find anything that could help me. So,
here's my situation. I have a stand-alone server, running Win2003 Server,
located outside our office. We connect to that server from our office using
Remote Desktop. Currently, we're four people that need to connect using
Remote Desktop to that server but we manage (80%) to be connected only two
of us at the same time, because if a third user tries to connect using
Remote Desktop, he'll receive a message saying that the concurrent user
limit (2) was reached.

My question is, how can I set that number to be higher? is it a setting? and
if so, where do I make the change. Is it because I need more Remote Desktop
licenses in that server? and if so, how are they called, where can I buy
them and how can I install them? if it's something else, also, please let me
know; we're growing and probably within 2 months, 2 or 3 more people will
need to use Remote Desktop to that server and our current 80% success rate
in connecting there will dramatically drop.

Thanks in advance for all your help,
SB-R

Without real TS licenses you can have 3 people accessing you W2003 server -
2 "normal" and 1 on the console (use "/console" when connecting to the
server.

If you need more then 2+1 connections you have to have a "real" Terminal
Server (You have to give your server the role of 'Terminal Server'). That
server can also act as Terminal License Server - ask your Microsoft dealer
for details about licenses and prices.
