On SBS 2003 you could have the console login, and 2 admin users logged in remotely. On a recent SBS 2008 server I installed, it appears, by default that it is using remote desktop and only allows one user at a time, either console or remote. Can it be changed to act like SBS 2003?

TS is different from Remote Desktop. And you can use TS in 2008 Premium (as it comes with a 2nd 2008 license). – Mark Henderson Jun 04 '09 at 22:12

Sorry, that should have read SBS 2008 Premium – Mark Henderson Jun 04 '09 at 22:12

The OP stated SBS2008 and not the Premium version. – GregD Jun 04 '09 at 22:15

To clarifiy terms Chad is trying to use a feautre built into most Microsoft Server versions from 2000 and up called "Remote Desktop Administration". Farseeker is correct you cannot run Terminal Services which allows non-admins to connect and more than two as well. They are very similar which can make them confusing (thank you Microsoft). – Matt Jun 04 '09 at 22:32

To be clear all of my information came from this webpage: http://blog.mpecsinc.ca/2009/03/sbs-2008-remove-single-ts-user.html
Click Start and type: Terminal Services Configuration [Enter] (the console will come up immediately while typing)
Click Continue at the UAC prompt.
Double click on the Restrict each user to a single session setting.
Uncheck the setting.
Click Apply and OK.

He's not talking about the 'no TS' he's talking about how by default in server 2008 only one admin can TS into the box at a time.
From Start Run tsconfig.msc (uncheck Single connection) For the TS Remote access
Then you can have two Admins and use Shadow for training.
