Terminal Server CALS and the Administrator account. 1

[sha2169]

On a Win2k server I have installed/activated 2 TSCALS. I can sucessfully log is 2 users at the same time however when I log in as administrator (3rd session) I get a license error. I was under the impression that the administrator account would not use a seat. Does anyone know if this is no longer the case when CALS are insalled?

sha2169,

Have you got Terminal Services installed in Admin mode or Application mode? It sounds like it's in admin mode and you'll only ever get 2 logons that way.

If you take over the console you can actually get a third session.

I hope you find this post helpful.
