TERMINAL SERVER

[boba]

User is getting error message when logon to server " Terminal Server has
exceeded the maximum number of allowed connection" but there are only two
users logon to the server. How can I fix this error.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

The Administrative Mode (which does not require additional licenses) is
limited to 2 simultaneous logons. This is what you get unless you actually
install the Full Terminal Services which is what "creates" a true Terminal
Server. Without that all you really have is a Server that allows Remote
Desktop Connections.

Hello boba,

This is no real error. Terminal services in administration mode allows 2
remote concurrent connections and one on the server console. If you like
to have more users to connect to the server you have to choose application
mode and install a TS licensing server and buy the needed amount of TS CAL's.

RE: TERMINAL SERVER

Thanks for the response. I am trying to install TS (through windows
components) and when it asks me the license number if I put the server name
....it should automatically pick up the license number or should I enter. I
have the license numbers but I don't know which one was used when server was
installed. Does it have to be the same? Also, we have about 50 users so
should I pick per device or per user option?
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

RE: TERMINAL SERVER

Hello boba,

Which license numbers are you talking about now? TS or the normal windows
server license? The terminal server license server needs the CAL's to add
so that user/devices can connect.

RE: TERMINAL SERVER

It is TS CAL. Which is better to use per user or per device? Thanks!

RE: TERMINAL SERVER

Hello boba,

Depends on your environment:
. TS Device CAL: A TS Device CAL permits one device (that is used by any
user) to conduct Windows sessions on any of your terminal servers.
. TS User CAL: A TS User CAL permits one user (who uses any device) to conduct
Windows sessions on any of your terminal servers.
