Question

Looking for instruction on how to provide multiple users login access a single virtual machine.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

in order to enable multiple session you need to

Log into the server, where the Remote Desktop Services are installed.

Open the start screen (press the Windows key) and type gpedit.msc and open it.

Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections.

Set Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session to Disabled.

Double click Limit number of connections and set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.

In this situation, you can have 2 RDP sessions simultaneously for free, but if you wish to have more, you should install the RDS role through the server.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Luca
