    Remote login to windows from linux

    Hai all,

    I was trying to login remotely as admin to a windows through remote server client program. i was able to log in but I got a message that the user is already loged in if i want to login he will be loged out.

    I want to know that is this normal.

    Can only one user can login at a time.

    Is there any other setting to change that.

    if there is any setting is that in windows or linux.

    Thank you
    satheesh

    depends what OS you are connecting to

    if it is XP machine, then it is normal, only one session is allowed

    Windows server can have multiple connections, but I think the default is only 2, and you have to pay for a license for more I think

    coopstah13 is correct.

    And it´s a windows restriction.
    To workaround that:
    1) ask the guys, who are logged in to logout
    2) buy a terminal server license. Your friendly microsoft dealer will help you with that
    3) connect to another windows box, that you can login in and do the following to force logoff another user

    Code:
    quser.exe /server:<SERVER>
    logoff.exe <ID> /server:<SERVER>
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
