Win2K3 Web Edition: Current RDP session allowance?

ubern00b · 23 Feb 2008 at 12:38

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone can confirm if Web Edition allows 2 concurrent RDP sessions or because its the cheapest version it has a lower limit. Cant seem to find this info on the net so any insight is appreciated. Thanks

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition (32-bit x86)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)

Am I missing something where it states "Web Edition" too?

Sorry, it doesn't explicitly state it, better link:

Only Remote Desktop (formerly Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode) is available on Windows Server 2003, Web Edition-based computers.

So just to explain it in n00b mode to me, it DOES allow the standard 2 + console sessions or just 1 session like XP/Vista?

IIRC, 2 remote and one console sessions concurrently.
