No more connections can be made to this remote computer/too many connection windows 2003 server
We have a Windows server 2003 SP2.
Currently I see 10 connections to the server. If the 11th users tries to access the remote share on this server they receive the following message:
"No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this because there are already as many connection as the computer can accept."
how do you increase this from 10? I thought Window server 2003 has suppose to support up to 65000 connections?
I have tried increasing the Max limit as suggested here:
2. Locate and then click to select the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type MaxMpxCt, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click MaxMpxCt, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type the desired value, and then click OK.
with no change.
Any suggestions or comments are most welcome.

This is an inherited server.
Where do I find out how many CALs are installed and if it's a per user or per server license?

Try going to Control Panel --> Licensing and/or Adminstrative Tools --> Licensing
It should list what you have there

On another note, what do your logs say when the 11th user tries to connect? It should show up as an error and hopefully point to exactly what you're missing

No logs showing connection issues.
When I go to Licensing it says the server is not available or running license logging. The server it is looking at is windows server 2008. On that server I do not see a license logging service available to start. The server in question is running windows server 2003.

Correction to make on original post:
The server is actually a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. Does this edition allow for most than 10 TCP connections at a time to access a shared folder? I am trying to allow 50 TCP connections at one time to this folder on this server. Is this possible? Currently it only allows 10 and then throws the "too many connections" error on the client side.
thank you

Or use linux. It's free (if that's an issue) and doesn't have the same limitations!
I think it's based on your license. See the following link:
