Hello,


Im trying to log into my Win 2000 Server using Remote Desktop
Connectio, however it says that terminal server has reached the
maximun number of allowed connections.

What I think has happened is that I logged in but not disconeccter
properly. How can I disconnect properly, or terminate the current
connection, so that it releases those slots so I can connect again?


Thanks,
DT
 
Hi Dan,

The session is immediately deleted from the server.
