Question

Citrix Presentation 4.5 - Concurrent Connections

Asked by: Jay5990

Only read this top portion is you need to know what environment I'm in - question below
One domain controller/file server, two terminal servers/citrix servers, one exchange server.  All the servers are running windows server 2003 32bit, all the workstations are running windows xp pro.  Citirx is setup with a farm and applcations are published to users desktops.  It's setup so at anytime the users will connect to one of the terminal servers and they have a roaming terminal services profile for load balancing.  The option for concurrent connections is turned on so they can only connect with one session to save on citrix licenses.

Question
When a user tries to log on and they already have an active or disconnected session on the terminal server they get this message - You have exceeded the concurrent connection limit.  Please contact your system administrator.  We have purchased more citrix licenses so can you tell me where I go on the server to turn off the option for concurrent connections so the users no longer receive this message.

Sounds like you have connection limits setup on your ICA connection properties.  These are defined in Administrative Tools > Terminal Services Configuration.  Under Connections, right click on ICA-tcp and select properties.  Then click on the Network Adapter tab, make sure that Connections are set to Unlimited.

nprignano,

I checked both terminal servers and under network tab they both were already set to unlimited,  I think there is a citrix policy enabled somewhere for concurrent connections.  Do you know where I would go to check that and turn off the policy?

Follow this Citrix article - it will tell you how to remove the connection limit.

JaredJ1,

Where do I go on the server to pull up these screens in the article?  Is it under citrix access management console?

 

by: JaredJ1Posted on 2009-03-19 at 09:54:19ID: 23931599

They are in Citrix policies. Citrix haven't made it easy as they have still got various configuration items in different consoles. For the policies you will need to go into the "Presentation Server Console" There will be an item titled "Policies".
For the Farm Properties you will need to go into the Access Management Suite and drill down til you can see the name of your farm - right click and you'll have an option to modify farm properties.
The ICA listener is now in Terminal Services Configuration and I think I read in an earlier post that you have already completed that one.
