Not sure if I should post this in the Server 2003 forum but here goes ....
We currently have a terminal server set up in one of our office locations running Server 2003. It is also the TS CAL licensing server ( yes I know this is not recommended).
This old box is becoming overloaded and I am preparing another to take over the role. The "new" one was previously a domain controller,DNS server and SQL2000 server at various times but these roles have been removed. It also has Server 2003.
I have installed Terminal Services (Application Server mode) but have found that I still cannot connect more than two users as in Remote Admin mode but the strange thing is that these users do not have to be Admins.
The error message that the third client sees when trying to connect is
"The client could not establish a connection to the remote computer.The most likely causes are-
1-remote connections might not be enabled
2-the max no. of connections was exceeded at the remote computer.
3-a network error occurred while establishing the connection."
1+2 cannot come into it as I can connect two users.
I have "Googled" till cross-eyed with no luck with anything close to this.
Terminal services seems to believe itself still in Remote Admin mode even though non-admins can connect !?
It is probably something obvious that I have missed stupidly but I have spent hours on this an getting nowhere.
I'd be grateful for any insight as to what might be behind this issue as I'm under severe pressure to get this running by next week.
Thanks in advance.
