question

Dear Experts,

We have server running windows server 2012 R2 Standard that host our CRM applications.

Due to we have a training to be conducted, we would like to allow 4 person (different user id) to rdp into the server. Currently, the server is only allowing 2 concurrent sessions.

Since it is not a remote desktop server, is there any possible way to achieve this?

Thanks
H

Hi,

Please be informed that there is no other way to achieve your requirement except installing remote desktop session host role on the server and purchasing RDS CAL (per user) for the remote connection.

Currently, you will need at least below configurations:

1. Install Remote Desktop Services (remote desktop session host role & remote desktop licensing role) on the server. (PS: role based installation process will be OK)
   

2. Activate the licensing server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-activate-license-server
   

3. Purchase per-user RDS 2012 CALs and install them on the licensing server.
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-install-cals
   

4. Set below 2 local group policies on the server.
   Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Componets\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
   - Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers: input the FQDN or the ip address of the server
   - set the Remote Desktop licensing mode: per user
