Enable Multiple RDP Sessions in Windows Server 2012


Something little bit different but something you need if you are running OBIEE 12c on Windows 2012 server. When you want to start/stop services you need to run scripts from Oracle. They will start in one user session. If other user log in via RDC with same credentials, your services will stop work. Best practice for this is to disable single Remote Desktop Services session as described below.

By default, Windows Server 2012 allow single Remote Desktop session. If only one session is available and you take over another person's live session, you may choose to enable multiple RDP sessions. 

Enable Multiple RDC Sessions
- Log into the server using Remote Desktop.- Open the start screen (press the Windows key) and type gpedit.msc and open it- Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections- Set Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session toDisabled.
Double click Limit number of connections and set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.

  1. I've recently switched to free AEROADMIN and it looks good.
    You may want to do the same as soon as you try.
    Hope this helps

    1. Yes, it's excellent product and is free of charge for personal and home but, if you ask Microsoft, it violates their EULA. So, if you want to have sweet dreams, unfortunatelly, you must buy Microsoft Remote Desktop Service CAL's and do what I wrote above.
