RDP and terminal services
Hello
I was remotely connecting to the server (sbs 2003) using RDP and had a few dropped connections. now when i try to log on i get an error stating too many terminal server connections and cannot log in.
i am guessing it is thinking the prior attempts are still connected. are there any ways to get around this?

Those solutions mentioned here, will eventually take care of the problems after some time it occours in the future, but thats not a solution at the moment for you now.
Only way if you are already using all 2 concurrent RDP sessions, is to connect to the console with the /admin or /console switch in the RDP client.
Ie: in the server name/IP adress you add /admin or /console after it like: server /admin or server /console.
That will force a "workstation locked" to whoever admin who is logged on locally on the server, and allow you to disconnect the other RDP sessions.

Both my first and second posts included solutions which would take care of this problem before time expires...Thank you for reiterating!
I am using above settings since from long time and till no issue has been found.
Means if my server has been disconnected due to some network fluctuation or by mistake has been disonnected by me and then i again connect to same session it overrides the previous session.
Check this once it will work and is easy to use.

Hello
thank you kindly for all of your help. i could eventually log in as it was set at a 30 min disconnect fortunately but it was very useful to find out how to alter these settings myself.
