The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

SBS 2003 Terminal server licenses OR Remote Desktop?

Asked by isprofessionals in Windows 2003 Server, Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: remote, 2003, desktop, sbs

Hi:
  I have not used terminal services since WIndows 2000 and when I did, the licenses were already insalled and the server was already configured.  
Currently, I have a SBS 2003 in need of multiple end-users requiring to access it in order to run Quickbooks Enterprise from their home offices.  The SBS 2003 server resides at a main office site.  I understand that by default, Server 2003 and SBS 2003 offer only 2 Remote simultaneious Desktop connections.  However, I need to be able to allow multiple users "remote access" with "user" permissions only to the server's desktop to be able to run QuickBooks Enterprise.
Can someone provide me with the proven steps that will allow more than two simultaneous connections to the server?
Here is what I have attempted thusfar:
When I log into the SBs 2003 server, I perform the following but get nowhere:
1.   Start/All Programs/Admin Tools/Term Serv Licensing.  But, all I see is "All Servers" w/out a + sign to activate the server because there is nothing to expand.  So, I attempted to connect to the local server but cannot hence, I cannot activate and therefore cannot add licenses.  
(QuickBooks Enterprise is loaded and working fine as long as no more than two simultaneous users attempt to connect to the SBS 2003 server.)

If you can provide me with information that will assist me in achieving the goal of allowing multiple users direct "user" permission access to the server's desktop console from a remote location in order to use QuickBooks Enterprise, I'd appreciate your feedback tremendously. Thank you in advance.
