asked on

limited connections to xp machine acting as server

big issue - new server, didnt buy a server license for it (another machine is running sbs 2k3). Is there anyone who knows how to remove the conneciton limit on the xp machine?

I downloaded and installed a patch off a website allowing me to manually change it from 10 to 100...but this seems to have had no effect.

Ive also changed the group policy with terminal services to have unlimited connections, no effect.

we have a legit version of SBS...as far as im aware the 10 user limit is a "Feature" of xp...designed to prevent issues with too many connections - but we want to remove this limitation as it is not a feature for us in our case.
we have 40 user licenses for sbs
