We have two Remote Desktop servers (Windows 2008 Server R2), with one of them being the license server. We had 30 CALs so only 30 sessions could be opened. We bought 5 more CALs and installed them on the license server. Licences seem to be installed and working but we cannot get more than 30 users at a time. Licensing diagnosis throws no errors and shows the right number of licenses available (35).

I've looked into RD session host configuration and in the RDP-tcp connection properties, in the label: Network Adapter there is a Maximum connections option, set to 30, but is greyed out and I cannot change it.

Also I've tried to set the GPO in

[Computer_Config - Admin. template - Windows Components - Remote Desktop Services - Remote Desktop Session Host - Connections]
 -> Limit number of connections

to 999999. But still no access for more than 30 users.

  • This isn't a licensing problem. Where did you edit the Group Policy settings? In GPMC on a Domain Controller or in GPEDIT on the RDS server? – joeqwerty Jun 21 '16 at 11:20
  • The GPO was modified on the RDS License server and also on the other RDS server, both through GPEDIT and both with no effect. – OscarT Jun 21 '16 at 14:25
  • What error message do you get when attempting to connect the 31st user? Are you able to connect an additional administrative RDP session at that time? – BlueCompute Jun 27 '16 at 11:33

The problem was i was trying to set that GPO in the Local Group Policy for each RDS Server, once I set the same GPO on the Domain Controller (Domain Policy), it allowed me to have the connections that I want.
