Remote Desktop Users – Maximum Number of Logged in Users Using Remote Desktop

remote desktopwindows-server-2012

We are using remote desktop to log in to a Windows 2012 server with a limit for two simultaneously users only. Sometimes, however, we need to be more.

We've discussed that with our server guys who claimed that this is only possible if the server will be reinstalled. Somehow I find this hard to believe, but being a novice I have no arguments to come with.

So – is it true or false? Is there any configuration in the server I could to check to confirm that this is the case? Please help a noob mixed up in a bureaucracy.

To allow more remote users on your MS Windows server you need to install the terminal services role. Microsoft calls those Remote Desktop Services since MS Windows Server 2008. This does not require reinstallation but probably one or more restarts.

You need client access licenses and a license manager to use this feature. The following links will give you more insight:
