Hi:
I'm trying to connect to a Windows 2000 server via remote desktop. My
account is a member of the administrators group on the 2000 box. I've
been connecting successfully but sometimes I get disconnected because
of a network issue or VPN problems. So my session on the server is left
open and eventually I have problems reconnecting. I usually get two
errors:
Logon Message: The system has reached its licensed logon limit
and
Terminal Services Warning: The terminal server has exceeded the maximum
number of allow connections
I searched on this on the internet and the consensus seems to be to go
in via console mode in remote desktop. But when I do that I get the
same errors, maybe because I'm going in as the same user that already
has sessions open.
Questions:
1. What are the best settings on the server to avoid this, assuming
that I can't always logoff cleanly (in fact I might want to not logoff
cleanly and leave programs open as I set the terminal service to
remember the sessions.
2. Can I set Terminal Services to timeout a session after I have
disconnected via Remote Desktop after a certain amount of time? Surely
it knows when I have disconnected my remote desktop session even if I
haven't logged out.
3. Would if be easier to go in as a non-Administrator, since the limit
in this case seems to be specific to 2 Administrative accounts logged
in at the same time. Then I should be able to have multiple sessions,
yes? In this case I don't believe I need Adminstrative rights to the
box.
Thanks!
Kayda
