problem with remote desktop into windows 2003

[cyr0nk0r]

I need to know how to enable more than 2 connections using remote desktop without going through terminal services.

The problem I am haveing is, I will connect to the server, but the session will time out thus forceing the remote desktop window to close. Then when I try and log back in it wont allow me becuase I think it still thinks I am still connected.

I know the same is true when I tried mapping the network drive. After the connection froze, I tried logging back in to the drive and it said my computer name was already logged in. How do I allow more connections to the server?

It is a Windows 2003 server OS. I am using XP on my workstation.

Remote desktop on 2003 only allows 2 connections. Well actually three, with console 0 (what you see if you are standing in front of the machine). You can also access console 0 over RDP in 2003.

The only way to get more connections is to install Terminal Services (formally known as TS in Application Mode). This requires a TS license server and TS CALs.

You can use the Terminal Services Manager console to close open sessions so that you can log in.

just connect to the console using the mstsc /console from start run.
