Control Panel - Add/Remove programs - Add Windows component -
Terminal Services.
If you are running Windows 2000, you will be given a additional
choice between Remote Administration and Application Server mode.
If you are running Windows 2003, you will not be given this choice,
since installing Terminal Services on Windows 2003 already implies
Application Server mode.

Than you for your help.

Well I am running 2003 and I have install it but need to put in application
mode. Do I do the same thing to put in app mode?

As I wrote: installing Teminal Services on a Windows 2003 server
means automatically that it is in application mode.

O ..Sorry I miss read.. I thought that cuse I can only get one user to
connect at a tme and they have to be a admin to logon. So I thought it may be
in Admin mode. I have install all my licenses. Am I missing something?

Windows 2003 in Remote Admin mode allows for 2 + 1 concurrent
connections, so you seem to have a totally different problem going
on. OK, time for some more facts.

Which error message do you get when you try to connect with a
second username?
Which error message do you get when you try to connect with a non-
Administrator account?
Have you verified that normal users have the right to use Terminal
Services, in their account properties or with a Group Policy?
Are these users members of the local "Remote Desktop Users" group
on the TS?
What is the role of the Terminal Server in the domain, DC or member
server?
Is there anything in the EventLog on the server when your
connection attempt is refused?

1.Which error message do you get when you try to connect with a second
username? It seem that I get this when I logon over the web..

2.Which error message do you get when you try to connect with a
non-Administrator account? I get "local policy of this system dose not permit
you to logon interactively"

3.Have you verified that normal users have the right to use Terminal
Services, in their account properties or with a Group Policy? Yes it is in
their account proerties and in group policy ..

3.Are these users members of the local "Remote Desktop Users" group on the TS?
No they were not I will try this..

4.What is the role of the Terminal Server in the domain, DC or member server?
This is a member server in a SBS domain..

5.Is there anything in the EventLog on the server when your connection
attempt is refused? No but I do see alot of TS errors for printers..


I wil try to see if this is part of the probmle..

Thank you

Being a member of the local Remote Desktop Users group on the TS is
a requirement in 2003 TS. That should fix your problem.
