How many terminal server sessions, at the same time, can be opened in a
Windows 2003 server?
 
Re: How many

If your server runs in application server mode there is no hard-coded limit
as long as you have enough TS licenses and hardware resources available.
Memory, hard disk I/O or CPU may be the real limit.

If your server is not a Terminal Server und you only want to RDP into it as
admin without using any TS licenses there is a limit of two sessions
hard-coded into the kernel.

Re: How many

the same time?

Re: How many

The number of licenses is your limit. Theoretically there is no other limit.
Well, there may be some built-in maximum of sessions but I don't know
anybody who ever reached it. If your server is big enough you can have
several hundred sessions on one box.
