Re: terminal server on windows 2000 allows only 2 sessions

Sounds like you installed Terminal Services in Remote Administration
mode, which allows for a maximum of 2 concurrent connections, by
default for Administrators only, and without extra licensing
requirements.

If you want your normal users to connect to the TS to run their
applications, you should install TS in Application server mode. Then
you must also install a TS Licensing server and buy and install TS
CALs for every connecting client which does not run W2K Pro or XP
Pro.

If the above doesn't solve your problem:
Which message do you get when you try to connect with more sessions?
Which EventIDs do you see in the EventLog?
