How do you get all three? Run Remote Desktop Connection twice normally for
session 1 and 2, then run "mstsc /console" (or "mstsc /admin" for the new
RDP client) to get to session 0. Three connections available at the same
time!
As noted by others, check the TS Manager to see if you have a session open
already that someone has left hanging.

New SBS 2003 system went in last weekend. Users consist of 3 with
admin rights (including administrator), 1 with poweruser, and the rest
users.
We find now that only the admin and the 1st user that was added with
admin rights can rdp to the box. The other admin user always sees the
'server has exceeded' message on login attempts.
Further, we added a test users with admin rights, and that user has
the same problem; cannot get
past the exceeded msg.
However, RWW allows everyone in that should be allowed just fine. We
see the 'exceeded' message only when that condition actually exists,
during rww use. It seems that only the first 2 admin users are being
allowed to RDP in though. I realize docs say only 2 admins on rdp,
but doesn't that refer to 2 logged-in admins, and not just users with
the privs? Or are we reading it wrong here?
?
Gee... no one really gets it here, I guess. No offense intended, but
you guys aren't reading
my posts, I guess. There are NO CONCURRENT LOGINS going on here. The
problem is,
why is my office manager login with admin privs being denied entry?
When her login is used,
there are NO other RDP sessions active. Zero. Nada.
Ok. Let's try this:
1. I log on using RDP with username A: fails, "exceeded" message.
2. I immediately try again using username B: Succeeds.
3. I log off, and then try RDP again with username A: Fails,
"exceeded" message.
The simple way to state the problem is, I have a user with Admin privs
who cannot RDP to the server directly,
as she always get the "exceeded" message on attempting.
However, if we use the Admin account, or my own personal login, those
two always are allowed entry.
In all cases, there are NO OTHER RDP sessions active. So there is NO
"exceeding" environment present. It's just me, or myself and
the office manager working here. The other system activity is all
users, and very low useage as well.
Make sense now?
