Remote Desktop Access?

[KevinAnt]

Quick Question...
I know there are 2 default Remote Desktop licenses (admin) you are allowed to use to remote desktop onto a server. If I want to upgrade from 2 sessions, and have 4 active remote desktop sessions active at once on a server, is this possible?

any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

You would need to put it into Terminal Server mode and also purchase Terminal Server licenses (approx. $75 per license). I would recommend User licenses instead of Device licenses.

Actually you can run 3 RDP connections (2 standard and 1 console). If you need more than this in terms of simultaneous connections, then you will need to go full blown Terminal Services

And those are for administrative use only. Not for Terminal Services application use.

ok, thanks guys.

now my 2nd question is if i want to keep everything as is on the current server, and want to install terminal server (i've already purchased 2 extra remote CALS), do i have to put terminal server on a seperate server? also, if i did install terminal server on the current machine, would i have to re-install all the applications/programs/etc on that box?

thanks!

You should install applications after Terminal Services is configured. That way, they are TS aware.

if you have users running applications and not admin'ing the server, then you need to buy another 2 seats.
