Windows 2003 RDP Extra Session
Windows 2003 Server is provided with 2 remote desktop sessions for administration. If another session is initiated, you will get the following error message:
The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections
To workaround this, you can start an hidden extra session running:
mstsc /admin or /console
Type in your server’s address and you’re in! You can then kick out logged in people if you like from the Task Manager.
Note: This has been removed on Windows 2008 Server. You can kick out anyone logged in if you have Administrator credentials.
