Multiple RDP sessions

[MSR63]

How can I have multiple RDP sessions without users getting disconnected?

I have a laptop that has special software for training. I would like to have users RDP into it (no more than 5) at their convenience. I thought you could have multiple RDP sessions going - but just discovered that each session gets dropped when one comes in.

Any suggestions

Now someone correct me if I am wrong, but with Windows XP you can only have 1 RDP session running at at time. If you need multiple sessions, MS would recommend Terminal Server which comes with 5 Client Access Licenses built in. I think there is some cheaper software out there, but I don't know the name.

Thanks for the info. I actually confirmed that - however last night I found an edit that would give me at least 3 RDP sessions.

If this was a permanant need I wouldjust do the MS license with 5 users however - it is my understanding that it is only on Windows 2003 server and not XP

Anyway - here's the edit if anyone is interested -
