From: Joao Cavaco on 5 Mar 2010 07:47 Hi!. I have installed Win Server 2003 Std, and when asked about the Terminal Services i have choosen "By Device". Later i have activated my 5 CAL, but only two persons can connect, the third is not allowed. How can i fix this? Is there a way to roll back the "By Device" to "By user". Thanks any way!
From: Vera Noest [MVP] on 5 Mar 2010 08:27 This is most likely not a licensing problem, because then you would have received a temporary license, and not be refused until after 90 days. Also, it wouldn't always be the third person. This problem is most often caused by a setting on the network interface, allowing a maximum of 2 concurrent connections. Start Terminal Services Confiiguration - rdp-tcp connection - properties - Network - change to "unlimited". If this doesn't solve it, can you repost with the *exact* error message that you get when you can't connect? _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?Sm9hbyBDYXZhY28=?= <JoaoCavaco(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 05 mar 2010: > Hi!.

From: Joao Cavaco on 5 Mar 2010 09:13 Hi Vera. I have tried to change to "unlimited", but i can´t because there are a message (translating from portuguese) "This server is configured to Remote Desktop Enviroment for remote administration predifined, what gives only the maximum of simultanious connections". I am trying to change this remotely, does it matters? Is there a solution for change this issue? Can i invert this situation? Thanks.

Strange! This message seems to indicate that your server is not configured as a "real" Terminal Server at all, and that it runs only Remote Desktop for Administration (which gives you only 2 connections). On the other hand, in Remote Desktop mode, you wouldn't be able to choose a licensing mode at all. Can you verify that the Terminal Services role is properly installed on the server? Personally, I would uninstall and re- install it. And make sure to reboot the server after every step! Is the server a member of a domain? Have you checked which policies are applied to the server? _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?Sm9hbyBDYXZhY28=?= <JoaoCavaco(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 05 mar 2010: > Hi Vera.
