How many concurrent users on Windows 7 shares
We have a small network of 12 users, and we are using one XP pro PC as a file server. Lately I am running into a problem with the top limit of 10 users that can be logged on to a XP pro at the same time. I was wondering if there is a same limit on Windows 7, or has it been lifted. The extra two users do not justify the cost of windows server and the admin cost associated with it, so I was hoping that W7 seven has higher limit. I have tried to Google it, but cannot find any conclusive answer, some suggest that it might be 20, but I want to be sure. Any concrete references to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
