OK, we have probably got this error once or twice. “The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections. The system cannot log you on. Please try again or consult your system administrator”.

So, can we get around this without trying to contact or go to the other computers that actually is logged in to the server? Well of course. Open a Command window and enter the following information.

mstsc /admin /console /v:[HOST_NAME]
This command will make sure you get logged in to the server and you can from there, remote log out logged in users.

OK, we had some problems using a SSH tunnel via localhost on Windows 7 today. It seems that the problem lies within the RDC client validating the address on witch it connects to.

Even that we use another port, the client will complain about a session already running when connecting to localhost:[PORT NUMBER].

The simple solution, replace localhost or 127.0.0.1 with 127.0.0.2:[PORT NUMBER]
