Allow multiple sessions from the same user on a Microsoft 2016 VDI environment on a Pooled Collection.

Allow multiple sessions from the same user on a Microsoft 2016 VDI environment on a Pooled Collection.

I am trying to setup a Windows Server 2016 VDI Setup. So far the setup looks good, and I have multiple Virtual Desktops created.
Now how ever, I am facing the issue that if I login from one computer with a user called demo, all is well, but when I open a second connection from another computer with the same user, the first computer is kicked out.

I have already set set the "Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session" to disabled and increased the "Limit number of conenctions" to 999999

you are connecting to desktop OS via pooled collection which allows only single session at a time, either RDP or console login
further you can't RDP those desktop OS with multiple sessions, that is limit of client OS

I have 10 desktops, why is session 2 not going to another virtual desktop?

Mahesh

OK
It will not allow to use "two" sessions from same user, it is one session per user

this is silly. There must be away to do this?
The Session style way of doing RD Services does support this. Why does pooled not support this?

session style hosts are server OS and does support multiple connections to single server instance, but here you have desktop clients as already stated and hence its not possible here
