Hello All,
I have TS on a Win2K server connecting thru vpn from home to office. Another
user does the same.
We both cannot use TS in remote desktop mode simultaneously. One gets in the
other get the "exceeded number of allowable connections" message. I thought
TS in Remote Desktop mode gets 2 licenses. Is there something I am missing
to get the two connections simultaneously?

Thanks for any ideas.

Remote Desktop Mode(?) = Remote Administration Mode?
Yes, two remote connections, simultaneously, should
work - I do this often.

Seems like someone is not logging off properly and
possibly leaving a connection open i.e. a disconnected
session.

To test, bounce your TS box, if you can, and you and
your co-worker try to log in at the same time.

If bouncing it is out of the question, at least
get into Terminal Services Manager and verify
no sessions are open - then try to connect to it
along with your co-worker.
 
Thanks for the information I will look into this .
Could you enlighten me on the proper way to end a TS Remote Admin session?

Thank You

Launch Terminal Services Manager.
Click the server you and your co-worker
use in the left window pane.
Select the username you want to log off in
the right pane and right-click it
One menu option is "Log Off".

If possible, and depending on the applications you
use, it may be best to reconnect to the session
and close out of running apps and select "Log off User".
This is the "nicest" way to do it but sometimes it's
just not feasible.
