Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 4:42 pm Post subject: Max number of RDP connections.
I'm wondering the following when doing RDP connections to a host PC?
a). How many different client RDP computers can RDP to a Host at the
same time and can it be the same or different account with password?
I though I read somewhere it was two but it seems like Remote desktop
only allows one connection to the host at a time. I'm not using servers
or terminal servers but on 2 PC's RDP'g to a third PC.
b). Can a remote desktop host PC have one user remotely RDP'd into one
account while a different user is logged in locally with their desktop being
displayed to the local user while the remote user is using their account?
It seems that as soon as an RDP client PC comes into the RDP host, that
any user logged in will be logged out with a popup stating this.

By design only one remote PC and user can connect at a time to a XP RDP host
computer.
By design the RDP host display is locked out when a remote user connects.
