Not if you keep TS in remote admin mode. To support >2 sessions you need to use it in "application server" mode, which requires TS CALs and all of that.

You can still use other mechanisms to remotely admin the server besides RDP, if applicable; those don't have any relation to the two user limit which is purely based on a max count of RDP sessions.

Hello all,
Windows 2003 Server by default allows 2 users to login concurrently. I was
wondering is there a quick way to remote into the server and not have to kick
off the 2 users currently on the server.

Much Appreciated,
-Lawrence
