Cấu hình multiple remote desktop sessions windows server 2012

The issue with multiple Remote Desktop Sessions on Windows 10 and 8

Attempting to initiate a second Remote Desktop session will cause any users working locally on the machine or logged in through an existing RDP session to be kicked out. The issue is not a result of the technical capabilities of Windows 10 but rather with the license agreement.

Now that we’ve determined the obstacles we’re facing, let’s consider two popular options you can use to enable multiple Remote Desktop users on Windows 10 and 8: either by using the RDP Wrapper Library application or by editing the termsrv.dll file.

Cách 1. Sử dụng Local Group Policy

Bước 1: Bạn bấm tổ hợp Windows + R để mở hộp thoại Run. Tiếp theo, bạn nhập từ khóa gpedit.msc (1) và OK (2).

Bước 2: Bạn truy cập theo đường dẫn sau: Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => Remote Desktop Services => Remote Desktop Session Host => Connections

Tiếp theo, bạn click đúp chuột trái vào mục Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services.

Sau đó bạn tích chọn dòng Disable (1) => Apply (2) => OK (3).

Bước 3: Sau đó, bạn quay trở lại mục trước đó và click đúp chuột trái vào mục Limit number of connections.

Tiếp theo, bạn chọn dòng Enabled (1) => thiết lập RD Maximum Connections allowed là 99999 (2) => Apply (3) => OK (4).

Sau khi thiết lập xong, bạn hãy khởi động lại máy tính để hoàn tất thay đổi.

How to allow multiple rdp session

Dear Experts,

We have server running windows server 2012 R2 Standard that host our CRM applications.

Due to we have a training to be conducted, we would like to allow 4 person (different user id) to rdp into the server. Currently, the server is only allowing 2 concurrent sessions.

Since it is not a remote desktop server, is there any possible way to achieve this?

Thanks
H

Hi,

Please be informed that there is no other way to achieve your requirement except installing remote desktop session host role on the server and purchasing RDS CAL (per user) for the remote connection.

Currently, you will need at least below configurations:

1. Install Remote Desktop Services (remote desktop session host role & remote desktop licensing role) on the server. (PS: role based installation process will be OK)
   

2. Activate the licensing server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-activate-license-server
   

3. Purchase per-user RDS 2012 CALs and install them on the licensing server.
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-install-cals
   

4. Set below 2 local group policies on the server.
   Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Componets\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
   - Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers: input the FQDN or the ip address of the server
   - set the Remote Desktop licensing mode: per user

Thanks,
Eleven

Hi,

After you get the RDS CAL, you can follow the step 1 to 4 I have provided in my answer.

1. Install Remote Desktop Services (remote desktop session host role & remote desktop licensing role) on the server. (PS: role based installation process will be OK)

2. Activate the licensing server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-activate-license-server

3. Purchase per-user RDS 2012 CALs and install them on the licensing server.
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-install-cals

4. Set below 2 local group policies on the server.
   Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Componets\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
   

• Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers: input the FQDN or the ip address of the server
  

• set the Remote Desktop licensing mode: per user

if there is anyhing unclear, feel free to let me know. I can share the screenshots.

Hi @hendriyu-7141

You will need to procure RDS Client Access Licenses from a Microsoft Partner or Microsoft Reseller. These are special licenses as they need to have software assurance attached to them since they are CALs for a VM running on Azure. This is a Microsoft requirement that you cannot get around. You can buy these in one year, two year, or three year options.

refer below url's
Setup simultaneous Remote login for multiple users
Deploy your Remote Desktop environment
License your RDS deployment with client access licenses (CALs)
