asked on

Server 2008 R2 in non-domain mode that allows for more than 2 RDP Users. Is it hacked?

I've been asked to look at a server that is configured as a standalone machine.

It is part of a workgroup.

Active Directory is not installed.

Terminal Services does not appear to be installed

It allows more than 2 RDP users

I thought that Server forced you to run as a domain controller or part of a domain or was that just 2003?

I thought that Terminal Services was required to allow more than 2 RDP Users.

Is this Server licensed properly? Is it hacked somehow to allow more RDP Users?

It appears that 3 can be logged in simultaneously on this one. One was disconnected but 2 were logged in.
Can you have three active sessions at the same time?

I think so. Usually when there is a 2 person restriction, the 3rd can't login until one of the others logs out. Even if they are disconnected.

I split points between you and Lee. Did you think I should have given all of them to you?
Not at all. Thanks for the points. I was sent an email saying you wanted to close the question without allocating points.
