Without installing the RDS role on the server are we able to limit the connection to 1?
Nothing native. The group policy settings are ignored unless the session host role is present.

Hi @Anonymous
Do you have any other solution/idea to allow one RDP connection on the server?
As I mentioned (and tested above) there is nothing native besides adding the session host role.

Just checking if there's any progress or updates?

Hi @Anonymous
After enabling the RDS able to restrict the one user using the GPO.
Glad to hear, you're welcome.
You could Enable this one and set it to one.

Hi @Anonymous
I have enabled the GP and limited the connection to 1.
Still with two different logins able to take RDP of the Server. I have verified in RSOP there is no conflict in the GP.

Hi @Anonymous
Made the changes still the same.
I have also restarted the server once.
