Terminal Services connections.
We have developers in house who need to develop right off the server. So we have set up terminal services so the users can connect and develop. But only 2 can connect at a time, how can we allow more than 2 developers connect.
Please advise.
Please advise.

Terminal Services has two modes. Administrative and Application. Administrative (and that is the one you are more than likely in) only allows 2 simultaneous connections. Application mode allows for much more but after a period of time ( I believe is 90 days) yoiu are required to have a Terminal Services Licensing server set up on one of your DCs. This requires you to purchase licenses to use the application mode.

You are correct I am using the Administrative mode.....reading the description between the 2 seem to differ quite a bit.....do they really?
So it works for 90 days...then what happens? Does terminal services stop working or what?
What does it mean to set up a Terminal Services Licensing Server anyways - just curious.

I need to visit this issue again, are you saying that we cannot put Terminal Services on a regular server, it must go on a domain controller?
How does one go about installing and setting that up what are the exact steps.
I can open another thread question if needed.
Thanks.

You can put a Terminal Server on any MEMBER Server (as well you should for security reasons). But you need a licensing server and THAT is what must go on a domain controller. The licensing server stores all of your Terminal Server Licenses for those who want to log onto a Terminal Server

Okay when I went to install on the one server, member server it had 2 options, the one that I spoke off above and another one for Terminal Server License, should I be installing that as well? Or is that what is installed on the DC, I guess that's the part I don't quite understand how it works and what gets installed where?
