Toenablemultiple remote desktop connections in Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2016, you’ll need to access the server directly or through Remote Desktop. Once you’ve logged in, press the Windows key in Windows Server 2012 to open the Start screen or simply type the following into the Start bar in Windows Server 2016:gpedit.msc.

Jul 07, 2014 Hello Andrew-Andrew, Windows Server operating systems allow two administrative RDP connections per server, and, in order to allow additional connections, you would need to have a valid Remote Desktop Services License Server deployed in Azure to hand out CALs you have purchased. New in Windows Server 2016 is a technology called VMMQ. The name doesn’t leave anything to a surprise, with Virtual Machine Multi Queuing multiple queues can be assigned to a VM NIC or Host vNIC. This helps us to get around the restriction of VMQ where we only have the ability to use one physical core per VM, if 4GBps of network traffic to.

  • Windows by default allows two RDS RDP. connections out of the box, and they are known as 'administrative connections' regardless of if the user account is an administrator or not. If you need more remote connections you need to research RDS which requires it's own set of user connection licenses in addition to CALs.
  • You get 2 remote administration connections and a console connection, and that's it. There is no way to override this limit (that I've ever seen at least). If you want more than the 2 connections, you need to get a license for Terminal Service CALs. Then you can do as many as you have licensed.

This will launch theGroup Policy Editor(gpedit.msc), which is a management console through which you can configure many Windows system properties or run scripts.
