Remote Desktop for Administration limited for two concurrent connections.
You can install terminal server mode on windows 2003 server in order to use unlimited concurrent connections
But you need CAL licenses for terminal server mode

To be honest you can use third concurrent connection if you connect to console
(start mstsc with the /console switch)

hi,

its very simple, if you leave the console logout, or computer management ==> remote computer connect and logout, or set auto logout time.

Hi avizen,

Other posters are correct, you can connect two non-console sessions and one console session all concurrently, for a total of 3.

To prevent connections from staying active after a user has broken it, change the properties of connections via the Terminal Services Manager in the Administrative Tools part of Control Panel.

To get more than 3, install Terminal Services - Terminal Server mode. Check here for license requirements:

Good luck!

Hi avizen,

you can use at run
mstsc /v: Servername /console
to login forcefully.

Good Luck
