swancd Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 We have a licence for 5 users but it will only let a maximum of 2 users in at a time. Any one know a setting etc we can edit to let the full 5 users access at the same time.ThanksOwain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At0mic Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Which server OS is this?Have you entered in the licence details where you type in your license information and then you recieve an email from microsoft with your license key or whatever they send you?

fizban2 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 in 2003 terminal services is installed by default with in Remote administration mode and will only allow 2 connections, install the full terminal services and set it in terminal services mode not remote administration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swancd Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks for the replies.Yes its Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition.How would I go about installing the full terminal services? Do I need to do Add/Remove programs, remove the Terminal Services, reboot, then Add/Remove and add it in again?Would this give me the option of making it run on the correct mode? Simple walk-through would be appriciated!ThanksOwain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 This walk-through is actually kinda easy.. it cannot be done.SBS2003 or even SBS2000 CANNOT be a Terminal Server Application Mode server. If you want a Terminal Server you need to purchase Server 2003 or Server 2000 STANDARD EDITION. SBS will not work, It is not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swancd Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi,Is this 100% true? - We seem to be able to enter the licence fine into SBS2003 and it even says we have 5 licences. Why does it let you enter the licence if it can't be used?Are they used for something else?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobby Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Are you sure these licenses aren't just SBS 2003 licenses you are trying to add?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) 100% true. Because you made the SBS the License Server. This is a central location for the licenses. If you added an additional Terminal Server, it would look to the domain license server for CAL's. You can install all of your Client Cal's, TS's Cal's and any other type of network access Cals on here as the central license serverSo even though you can install the licenses fine.. that doesnt mean you can run SBS in Application Mode. The main reason SBS cannot be a Application Mode Terminal Server is the shear security risk that comes with it.. SBS requires to be a domian controller and the only domain controller in the enviroment. This means this is the most important part of your network. Making it a terminal Server would mean you have regular users (that needs heavier rights to log on to a DC) logging on to your Domain Controller. This is a security risk and a half.. either way.. here is a little article i searched for from MS that can explain to you http://www.microsoft.com/canada/partner/pr...es/default.aspx Edited October 8, 2005 by chilifrei64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
