By default the Server only allows two concurrent remote connections through
Terminal Services. Can this be increased if licenses are purchased? Also,
what is the advantage of having a Terminal Server in place? I need to deploy
four Win2k Servers to four different WAN sites. These servers would be access
remotely using Terminal Services and would like to know if a Terminal Server
would be a better solution for licensing. Not to sure how everything works.
Any advise is appreciated.
 
If a TS is in application server mode, you can connect as many sessions as
your hardware can handle, assuming you have the proper licenses.

In a WAN environment many companies put a terminal server farm on the same
network as their other servers (database, email, file/print), then have users
connect over the WAN via RDP or ICA. This uses much less bandwidth than if
users were accessing their files, email, databases over the WAN connection.
