Hello,
I have setup RDS on Server 2012 R2 with the following roles: (RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Web Access). My sole purpose for this setup was to enable this server and only this server to allow more than 2 concurrent RDP connections.
Here is some background information:
1. I will not be using RemoteApps or the Web access, I only only need to RDP into this server with more than 2 concurrent connections.
2. The licensing server is activated and I have a 50 user CAL installed on it. It has issued licenses to 3 users that have logged into the server while I was looking at the Web site features. So I know the licensing is working properly.
3. This server does reside in a domain but I'm looking to have everything self contained on just the one box. I do not want to put anything on my domain controller or a separate machine.
4. Everything looks to be fully configured in all of the roles. I have no warnings about things not being configured correctly.
5. When I attempt to login with a 3rd user to this system, it still prompts to have me remove one of the previous 2 sessions.
I know I must be looking right past the setting or it is in a very convoluted space, but how do I enable this server to allow more than 2 RDP sessions? I've made the change in group policy for (Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop
Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections\Limit number of connections) to 50 but this still not seem to correct the problem.
Thanks for any answers you can provide,
Fred Levario
