Limit users to one remote session

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows XP Terminal Services

Location: Computer Configuration\Windows Components\Terminal Services\


Description:
Limits Terminal Services users to a single remote session.

By default, Terminal Server allows an unlimited number of simultaneous active or disconnected sessions for each remote user. Use this setting to limit the number of simultaneous remote sessions to one for each user.

If you enable this setting, users who log on remotely to a terminal server can maintain only a single session on the server. If the user leaves the session in a disconnected state, he or she will automatically connect to that session at next logon.

If you disable this setting, the default behavior of unlimited simultaneous connections is enforced.

If you do not configure this setting, the number of user sessions is not specified at the Group Policy level.
