Limiting number of concurrent server connections

[Guest]

I have multiple termservers at my location. I am trying to set concurrent
connections to one per user, however I can't seem to find a setting that will
force this activity. The system in question is a Win2k server in an AD
domain. Thanks.

This is not a native feature of W2K TS. Use LockSingleUser (see
below for download location) or upgrade to 2003.

Q. How can I limit Terminal Services so a user can only connect one
time?

A. For Windows 2000, there is a third-party application available
that does this—see thethin.net/r25b.zip.

For Windows Server 2003, set "Restrict each user to one session" to
"Yes" in Terminal Services Configuration. Alternatively, set the
"Restrict Terminal Services users to a single remote session" group
policy to "Enabled".
