Windows – terminal server has exceeded max number of allowed connections

remote desktopterminal-serverwindowswindows-server-2003

when I try to connect to a remote windows 2003 server via remote desktop connection I get the following exception:

"Terminal server has exceeded max number of allowed connections"

Ho can I find out who is connected to the server?
Is there a snapin to mmc that allows me to get all the users connected to the server?

Yes, you can use the Terminal Services Manager MMC to see who is connect to the terminal server and log them off if needs be. You can install this by installing the Server 2003 support tools on your machine, or by accessing it on any 2003 Server.

If you find yourself unable to logon to your server via RDP, you can connect using the console, this will connect you to the actual console session, the one you will see if you logged onto the machine using an actual keyboard and monitor to do this, run the following command from the run box:

If using RDP 6 client or above:

mstsc /v ipOfServer /admin

If using older than RDP 6:

mstsc /v ipOfServer /console
