term server limited to 2 users/ with 5 users lic

[talktwo]

I installed SBS Premium on Server and on same server setup terminal server with 5 user license. Only two remotes can come into the server at a time. A tech said that Microsoft limits SBS to two users; however win2000 server lets more than two in. Have we done something wrong or is the server limited?
Thanks

Have you set it up in application mode?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

My mistake, after doing some research, I found this

Look at the 14th or so question down. You are limited to 2 users. That blows. Didn't know that one.

Last SBS server I did was 2000, and I have always hated SBS. For one, I hated the fact that installations of certain products (such as Exchange), have to be installed by SBS's little wizard installer, or it isn't supported. That, coupled with the fact that so many programs do not support a server configuration with Exchange running, that I just can't use it as a stable option.

Anyways, sorry I don't have good news for you.

Thanks, Wish I had known this before purchasing but did not see anything before or during installation. The terminal server appears to work, no error messages etc, just couldn't get more than two in.

SBS is the scourge of the IT world, as far as I'm concerned. I'd be willing to bet many of the blacklisted e-mail servers around were mis-configred SBS "Exchange" ones hooked up to a DSL modem somewhere....

Plus you have to spend a week reading MS sites before you have a hope of understanding the limitations.
