Requirement to enable more than two concurrent RDP sessions on multiple Windows Server 2012

I have an existing Remote desktop licensing server, which has users CALs for server 2008. Now I have some windows server 2012 R2, where more than 2 concurrent RDP connections are required.
What I understand that I will need to install RDS server roes on all my Widows Server 2012 and I will need to have at least one RD licensing server to install RDS CALS, that’s all.
If it is correct, the questions is : Can I use my existing license server to add my newly purchased version 2012 RDS user CALs or I will need a new licensing server?
If it is not correct, then what else I need
I appreciate your detail step by step
Thanks

Thanks the for steps, provided,
So in short,
I will need a Windows 2012 Server to install RSD 2012 licencing server to setup my newly purchased X number of RDS 2012 user CALs.
As I just want more than 2 concurrent RDP connection to happen on some Windows 2012 server, I will require to select “Role-Based or feature-based installation and ONLY will enable Remote Desktop Licensing Role and Demote Desktop Session
Host.
I will need to add RD Licencing and add the server 2012 servers; I want more than 2 concurrent connections to happen.
I will need to enable RD Licensing mode as per user
Question:
1. What I need to enable on those servers, where I want concurrent RPD connection to happen
2. In which stage and where I will enable my users CALs, I purchased?
3. Do I have to install RD Session Host role service on the servers, where more than two RPD users will connect at the same time?
I am also in dark, how my user will connect those servers, with RDP connection or with RD Web Access.
All I want to do is to enable more then 2 concurrent connection to some Windows Server 2012 R2. I have already purchased some RDS 2012 R2 Users CAL

How to allow more than two users on remote desktop on windows server 2012 foundation?

i have a dell server power edge T300 with windows server 2012 foundation. I am unable to connect more than two remote desktop at once.

Hi,
Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

Just want to enable more than 2 concurrent RDP on Server 2012

All I want to do to enable more than two concurrent RDP connections to some of my Server 2012. And that requirement is at this moment for some domain users (for 15 users out of 300 users), I don’t want to publish any remote apps or give user a web
link to logon. I just want user to do RDP from local desktop like they are doing now.
Honestly speaking, when I read this, it confuse me well enough as I don’t understand RDS well.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378949(v=ws.10).aspx
However when I see lots of TechNet forums, it just confuse me more
Currently I have Terminal Server licencing server for 2008R2 and I understand that I can’t use this licencing server due to version incapability
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14988.rds-and-ts-cal-interoperability-matrix.aspx
I would like to know what do from start to finish step by step
So what I understood that I will need to
1
Commission a new 2012 R2 server for RDS Service deployment
2
Deploy RDS 2012 Services
on the new server
3
Activate Licencing service on the new server
4
On this server, install User CALs on the licencing server and then
Manage RDS CAL for 15 Users by RD Licencing Manager.
Questions
Do I have to activate/install anything on the 2012 servers, where I want to more than two concurrent RDP connection
2. As in my production environment I have Terminal services 2008 working, will the new version of terminal service run side by side or I will need to migrate all the older version of licences/services to the newer version?
3. Is there any risk of creating disruption/trouble on the existing terminal services infrastructure?
If so what are they and how to manage those?
4. The new RDS service deployment has lots of functions, like RDCB, RDWA,RDSH and in addition RDGW, RDVH and RDLI, not sure, which I need to configure.
I understood that I just need to activate and configure RDLI. Did I understand correctly or I need to configure other thinks as well.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your comment, it’s clear that you need more than 2 remote session in your environment and you need to install and activate the RD License server\CAL as you have listed. Now what you can do is, on server 2012 R2 you can act as RD License server and on server
2012 you can just install RDSH role so that you can have more than 2 connection for your environment.
From server 2012\R2 we can manage all the server with RDCB role as middle-man and can install RDSH role on other server and point finally to RD License server so that we can get available CAL for use.
The old environment will run side-by side but as per my suggestion I would say that you migrate all your old to new one so you can enjoy all new feature and can maintain from single point.
In regards to your last question, it depends on your requirement that what you want to use. You can refer following thread for information.

Enable more than two concurrent sessions in Server 2012 r2

Hello,
I have setup RDS on Server 2012 R2 with the following roles: (RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Web Access). My sole purpose for this setup was to enable this server and only this server to allow more than 2
concurrent RDP connections.
Here is some background information:
1. I will not be using RemoteApps or the Web access, I only only need to RDP into this server with more than 2 concurrent connections.
2. The licensing server is activated and I have a 50 user CAL installed on it. It has issued licenses to 3 users that have logged into the server while I was looking at the Web site features. So I know the licensing is working properly.
3. This server does reside in a domain but I'm looking to have everything self contained on just the one box. I do not want to put anything on my domain controller or a separate machine.
4. Everything looks to be fully configured in all of the roles. I have no warnings about things not being configured correctly.
5. When I attempt to login with a 3rd user to this system, it still prompts to have me remove one of the previous 2 sessions.
I know I must be looking right past the setting or it is in a very convoluted space, but how do I enable this server to allow more than 2 RDP sessions? I've made the change in group policy for (Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop
Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections\Limit number of connections) to 50 but this still not seem to correct the problem.
Thanks for any answers you can provide,
Fred Levario

Hi Fred,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Are you working with Domain or Workgroup environment?
Because from your description seems you want everything on single server. To enable more than 2 RDP session for your server we need to Add RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services, configure the RD Licensing mode, and licensing server name in the local
group policy, Activate the RD Licensing server and install RDS CALs using RD Licensing Manager.
You can configure the Licensing mode and licensing server through GPO as per below path.
Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers - Provide the FQDN of the license servers to use
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode - Specify the ‘per user’ or ‘per device’ licensing types

How to install RDP CALs pack on Windows Server 2012 R2 (member of NT domain)

OS: Windows Server 2012R2 (64-bit), member of NT (Samba 3) domain.
Task: install RDP CAL pack, to allow connecting above its default 3 sessions limit.
Problem: when setting up RDP licensing/other required service, I came to a problem: RDP access broker service requires AD type of domain to be installed.
The server is part of NT (Samba 3) domain and we have no intention to change domain type only to satisfy an auxiliary service.
Is it possible to enable additional RDP CALs on Windows Server 2012 R2 without mandatory joining an AD? The license control available up to Windows Server 2008 has been removed from Windows Server 2012, I can't bypass installing broker and the rest of related
services.
Thank you for any information.

Enable Lan Routing Windows Server 2012

Hi!
I'm trying to setup the RRAS in a Windows server 2012 to route between my two networks. I have a windows server 2012 with two nics and the RRAS installed. I installed "Lan Routing" custom option.
My configuration is:
Server nic1 - 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 (no dfgateway)
Server nic2 - 192.168.103.54 255.255.255.0 (no dfgateway)
Clients subnet1 - 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
Clients subnet2- 192.168.103.x 255.255.255.0 192.168.103.54
The problem is that from a client of subnet1 i can ping 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.103.54 but i can't ping clients of subnet2, and backwards the same problem.
Thanks.

Your client machines need to know how to find the route to the other subnet.
1) So on a client on subnet 1, open a Command Prompt and type:
route add -p 192.168.103.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
This adds a permanent route which tells the client to go to 192.168.1.254 to find network 192.168.103.0
2) On the clients on subnet2 you would type:
route add -p 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.103.54
Make sure the clients have the appropriate server NIC address as their default gateway and DNS.
For example, for clients on subnet1:
IP: 192.168.1.x
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.1.254
That is misleading at best. The original post is a straight forward example of subnet to subnet routing. No additional routes are required because the default routing is quite adequate. If you look at the addresses of the static routes you provide
you will see that they are the same as the default addresses already set (so they are redundant).
Ping is not a reliable test of connectivity any more. Built-in firewalls will block it by default. You will need to temporarily disable the firewalls of the clients to test with ping (unless you enable ICMP echo in both directions on all clients).

1. How to RDP my windows server 2012 from my Windows 7 with " Firewall disabled" & "Firewall Enabled" conditions

Hi,
Just make sure that the firewall is disabled in all three profiles Domain/Private/Public.
Create a incoming UDP rule on firewall to allow port 3389 and give a try.

Adobe thinks I have more than two computers

I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium. I only have two Windows computers. One is running 64 bit Vista Ultimate and the other one (a laptop) is running Vista Home Edition. I installed the Adobe suite on both machines without issue. I took my laptop over to Peet's to use it and now when I come home to use it on the other computer, I get a big message box saying:
Excuse the interruption, but:
Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Creative Suite 4 Production Premium on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed.
You have 30 days from today to correct this problem.
I called in to the support number and they are showing that it has been activated on 6 different computers now.
The only thing I can think of is that someone at Peet's was able to steal my serial number through some hacker magic maybe eavesdropping over the wireless somehow?
Please help! Is this a known issue or something?
This software was way too expensive to have this happen. I am not a pirate, I didn't give the number to anyone. I didn't expose the serial number anywhere knowingly or accidentally.
Please help.
One thing I did notice is that the Adobe updater failed to complete it's activities on my 64 bit machine. Sometimes the 64 bit machine has trouble because there are not enough drivers written for it. Maybe it's something like that? Please help.

Sorry to hear about your problem.
A few observations and questions.
(1) The Adobe Creative Suite requires Vista Home Premium as a minimum configuration. Hopefully your notebook system is
not running Vista Home Basic. The fact that it installed would indicate that you are probably running Vista Home Premium.
(2) Exactly where and how did you purchase the CS4 Production Premium? Was it in a sealed box from Adobe or a authorized dealer or was it from eBay or some Warez site?
(3) The fact that it activated on more than two systems is indicative of at least four of the six systems attempted activation using some type of hacked version of the software.
(4) Adobe's communication between your system and Adobe for activation is secure, but obviously, someone may have hacked your system to record keystrokes or otherwise capture data from your system.
Assuming that you indeed made your purchase via a reputable source (i.e., either directly from Adobe or from an authorized dealer) and that you have a receipt for your purchase, I would recommend that you contact Adobe Customer Support, explain the situation and your suspicions and offer to send them a copy of your receipt or a fax of same. They should be able to fix the situation via supplying you with a new serial number and let you enter that number on both your installations and let them reactivate with the new serial number. Make sure you get the names of any persons you speak with at Adobe Customer Support and if you encounter any problems ask to speak with a supervisor. (If you still can't get anywhere with those folks, contact me offline via e-mail and I'll see what I can do to assist.)
In the meantime, I would most strongly recommend that you thoroughly scan your system for viruses, trojans, keyloggers, etc. with updated virus scan definitions and with any one of a number of programs such as "SpyBot" (a free spyware scanner) that can search and destroy any problematic crud that may be infecting your system. You should also make sure you have effective firewall software if you frequent public WiFi locations.

Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
Is this a bug?

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Not able to Render more than two asset type in a drop zone on page

Hi All,
I have created two different assets by making two different flex family.
I need to render these two assets in a single drop zone on a page.
Can some one tell me how is it possible to make a drop zone on page which will be able to take two different type of assets because while creating Page attribute when i select page attribute of type asset there is no option through which i can select more than two asset types.
Thanks & regards,
Ankur Bhatia

Hi Rodney,
Thanks for ur Reply.
While creating page attribute on admin site,when we select attribute type as "asset" a dropdown list comes just below through which we can select only a single asset.
how to use a list option here or how can we create it so that it can be used with various asset types.
Also in avisports site there is no drop zone which can contain more than one asset of different type.
The Drop zone contains here all the assets of same type.
Thanks and Regards

How can i use IDSM-2 in inline mode for more than two VLANs?

can i use the IDSM-2 in inline mode to be ips to more than two VLANS
like this or it isn't
intrusion-detection module 5 data port 1 access-vlan 10,20,30,40,50
intrusion-detection module 5 data port 1 access-vlan 100,200
thank u all for your help

The IDSM-2 ports need to be configured as trunk ports with multiple vlans rather than as access ports.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00807517eb.html#wp1068377
And instead of creating an inline interface pair by pairing Gig0/7 with Gig0/8 within the IDSM-2 configuration, you would create inline vlan pairs.
With an inline vlan pair you pair 2 vlans on the same interface.
You can have up to 255 inline vlan pairs on each interface (assumining you keep the total traffic from all of the pairs within the IDSM-2s performance limit of around 500Mbps)
How to create inline vlan pairs:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00807517bb.html#wp1047852
The other aspect you need to be aware of is that not all IOS versions will support configuring the IDSM-2 data ports as trunk ports for inline vlan pairs.
Your best bet is to use 12.2(18)SXF4 or a later version on the 12.2(18)SXF train.
The 12.2(33)SR train does not currently support the trunk feature for the IDSM-2.

Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

Hi Michael,
You can set the thresholds via an import file. The easiest way to do this (and this goes for all importable data, webapps included, 301 redirects and so on) is this:
1. go into the Admin and create a single item, in you case create a test product and set the thresholds
2. export that data - in your case export the product list
3. take a look at how the data looks like in the export file so you can get an idea of how the format should be like in the import file
Unfortunately you cannot set more than 2 thresholds, that is not possible at the moment.
Thanks,
Mihai

Since the recent update, my Text Messages no longer permit me to send messages to more than two people at a time. How do I resolve this issue?

Since the most recent update, my IPhone 5c no longer permits me to send text messages to more that two people at a time. How can I resolve this to send text messages to more than two people in a group message.

It would appear that I can send an SMS to multiple contacts, providing that it's not a forwarded message. This means that I have to start from scratcheach time, and then I can send it to over 30 recipients at a time. Not sure why though, and I'm not sure why the sign doesn't appear all of the time as an option for me to press. At other times, it is particially obscured by the curser/text box. This is obviously a glitch in the system, as it happens inconsistently.
