Re: terminal server that hands out licenese to other servers..

Not without going into application mode which, I'm guessing, is definitely not what you want. I've worked in a lot of place but have never had a reason to allow 10 admins on one server at time. Interesting scenario.

They are all administrators. So, they need to access these servers at the same time.

Is there any way to do this with Termin services?

Thanks

Why would you want all users to access your servers? If it not for applications, what possibly use would users need to access servers?

HI Jeff, I don't require them to access applications. I simply want all my users to be able to exceed the 2 free minimum TS connections on any of my servers, if need be.

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you

If you require users to access applications in a non-administrator type mode, that requires Terminal Services in application mode. Licenses are not concurrent, they are per device or per user. That means you need either a device license for every device that may connect or a user license for every user that may connect.

Hi, I've also been curious about this!

Does that mean you have to install all terminal services in "application mode" on all servers that will need more than two connections?

Also, when that user disconnects from their TS/RD session, does that free up the license for another user on another machine?

Thanks ahead of time.

In order to have more than 2 people connect to the server, you need to install Terminal Services using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.
To provide licenses for the user connections, install the Terminal Server Licensing component on a domain controller (also using Add/Remove Programs) and use the Terminal Server Licensing administration tool to activate your licenses. Once the licenses are active on a licensing server, they are available to any terminal server that was configured to use that licensing server - this is configured when you install Terminal Services.

Hi All

I'm trying to figure out how to add my terminal server to allow it to automatically hand out Terminal services licenses on the fly, as people need them when connecting via TS/Remote Desktop to other servers in the domain?

Is the configuration possible? I have 20 licenses (domain), and have a need to allow more than two people to connect to my windows 2003 servers at any one time.

Is this even possible with terminal services?

Thanks for your help.

M. Smith
