5 user terminal server license on sbs2003
|
From: Ron on 18 Aug 2006 17:15 I installed Terminal Server and activated a 5 user license for Terminal Services on SBS2003. When I attempt to login the 4th user, I get the error: 'The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections' Any suggestions?
From: Charlie Russel on 18 Aug 2006 17:24 Terminal Server in Application Mode is not supported on SBS 2003. You are limited to the 2+1 of remote administration mode. If you have a need for Terminal Services in your SBS environment, you should install a second server as a "member server" and run Terminal Services on this. (This _could_ conceivably be a Virtual Server session, if you have the horsepower on your main SBS server.) The reasons behind this are security. There is no way you should have non-Administrators logging on to your Domain Controller. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 "Ron" <rray(a)northcoastsolutions.com> wrote in message news:Oc4vBuwwGHA.4140(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I installed Terminal Server and activated a 5 user license for Terminal >Services on SBS2003.

From: Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP] on 18 Aug 2006 18:33 Ron, if you are familiar with SBS2000, you may know that allowing users to access TS in App Mode from the server was permitted, but never recommended - due to the security issues that Charlie pointed out. In SBS2003, they went ahead and disabled TS in App Mode. Shoot, I took an old 933Mhz Optiplex PC, added memory to it, and turned it into a TS server. -- Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP] "The days pass by so quickly now, the nights are seldom long" "Ron" <rray(a)northcoastsolutions.com> wrote in message news:Oc4vBuwwGHA.4140(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I installed Terminal Server and activated a 5 user license for Terminal >Services on SBS2003.

Ron, Charlie & Kevin just nailed it down. Your only concern now will be licensing, depending on the route you take (Win 2000 Member server or Win 2003 Member server) and the clients operating system: Win 2000: No additonal TSCALs for Win2000 and XP Workstations, but TSCAL needed for any other OS Win 2003: Microsoft changed the TS licensing requirements. Each terminal server connection still requires a TSCAL, but as with CALs, TSCALs are also divided into Per-device and Per-User categories.
