OK, turns out it was a bad GPO all along. We have 2003 servers installed,
but very few, and no DCs. So, the domain policies are all doen with the W2k
and XP adm files. However, all of the "built-from-scratch" servers use their
own local policy, which is the 2k3 one, and allow 2 session, and all of the
upgraded ones are using the W2k + XP policies, and there is an unconfigurable
limit of 1 session. (It's unconfigurable, since I couldn't see it in GP
Edit, but I could see it in the RSOP listing.)
I replaced the WXP system.adm on the DCs, and did a template replace in GP
Edit, and bang! Computer Configuration\WIndows Components\Terminal Services
exists to edit. Changed max sessions to 2, and all the servers are now happy.
Thank you - and now I can go back to working on all of the fires.
