How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

How many people can connect to the mail server 3

I am looking to grow my business which consist of a growing email base with emails that need to be set up and managed. How many emails can be hosted on the mac server?

Hello Thomas,
"MAXLOGMEMBERS" has nothing to do with the number of users that can connect to the instance. It is a parameter to control the number of files that can be assigned to a group of (redo) log files.
how many people can connect at Oracle XE?Well, that depends on how they connect. There are parameters controlling the number of sessions in the database. But if you have a technical user, e.g. when using APEX, there may be more users than sessions in the database...
So you need to clarify what kind of user access you mean.

How many pcs can connect to hub at same time

how many pcs can connect to hub at same time, I have looked everywhere and if you know where did u find the answer, many thanks

Most routers specs I've seen have a theoretical maximum of 256, but obviously due to practical performance issues would likely limited to less than 20.
As said, usually more than a home user would need.

How to find out how many users are connected to Exchange 2013 servers in "Online" mode? This is coz, online mode causing server performance issues in our environment

All, Any script or method to find out how many users are connected to exchange servers in online mode?
Manju Gowda

Hi
You have to get the "RPC Client Access" log file in your CAS server. There you can see a column called "client-mode" and it has two modes such
as "classic" and "cached". From there you can get the two different client assess modes and their corresponding users.
probably take this file openup on excel and filter to see the two modes

Hi Noor,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description I can understand that you want the user name with app they have in their session.
You can achieve with below command.
Query process User name
Displays information about processes running on a terminal server. You can use this command to find out which programs a specific user is running, and also which users are running a specific program.
More information:

How many users can you have on one account ?

Hi,
I have just created a ID with Adobe Reader for a group to use files stored in cloud. I would like to know how many users can access the account at one time via, mobile devices, ipad, desktops ?

I don't know if there is a limit; you do mean the free https://cloud.acrobat.com/ ?
I will move your post to the Acrobat.com forum, where someone hopefully can give you a definitive answer.

How far will the extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

How far will the airport extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

Last question first, since that is the easy one......approximately 50 (fifty) users for wireless depending on how active each user might be.
The first question is much more difficult, as distance is not really the issue with wireless.....obstructions are the issue.
A wireless signal can easily travel 300 feet or more with no obstructions in the signal path.
But, a typical wall of sheetrock or wallboard in a home will absorb....on average....15-20% of the wireless signal. Brick or adobe will obviously absorb much more. A ceiling....because it is thicker....will absorb about 25-35% of the signal.
So, if the wireless signal must pass through several walls and a ceiling, there won't be much, if any, of the signal left....even though the distance that the signal travels is not great...for example, 20-25 feet.
Other wireless networks around you at the neighbors can also affect the relative strength of the wireless signal.
The bottom line....locate the AirPort Extreme where wireless devices will receive a signal with the least amount of obstructions in the signal path. Your actual performance cannot be predicted in advance. You will not know how well the AirPort Extreme works for you until you try it out in your home.
If you find that the signal does not reach as far as needed, you will need to add additional "extenders", like an AirPort Express to provide more signal coverage.

How many users can be on creative cloud

How many users can be on creative cloud

Hi,
With each subscription you are allowed to download on two different machines, but you cannot use the apps at the same time. So, in short the answer is just 1 person per Creative Cloud subscription.
"Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product subscriptions, so you can only buy one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two subscriptions to Creative Cloud, you will need to purchase each subscription with a unique Adobe ID.
When you install your software, you will be required to enter the same Adobe ID that you used when purchasing your membership, for the following reasons:
- To help ensure that the person who subscribed is the same person who is installing the software
- To enable Adobe to send you important account information in the event your subscription is about to expire or cannot be charged to your credit card"
Information is from the Creative Cloud FAQ

Thank u...!

Hi there.
If You run
select count(*) from v$session where username is not null;you'll get the number of users connected to Oracle server,
and yes , you could do backup while users are connect to db you are backing up.
cheers

How many devices can connect at once

I have an AirPort Extreme running my home wifi network. How many devices can connect to it at one time? What solutions are there if I'm over that limit?

If you have a recent model AirPort Extreme, it will allow a total of about 250 devices to connect.....50 wireless plus an additional 200 Ethernet devices.
Keep in mind that all devices share the same Internet connection bandwidth.
So, if you have a 20 Mbps Internet service and you have 20 devices connected to the AirPort Extreme, then each device will receive about 1Mbps of bandwidth. That might be OK for light browsing, but a big file download is going to be SLOW.
Another way of saying the same thing is that the network slows down as you add more devices. If you need more speed, you'll need to talk to your Internet Service Provider about a faster connection plan.
The AirPort Extreme will handle far more speed than your ISP can ever hope to deliver.
