Windows Server 2016实现6台设备并发RDP连接配置步骤咨询

Alright, let's break down how to get 6 concurrent RDP connections on Windows Server 2016—since the default 2 sessions are only intended for administrative use, we need to set up Remote Desktop Services (RDS) properly. Here's your step-by-step guide:

• Open Server Manager, click "Add roles and features" to launch the setup wizard
• Navigate to the "Installation Type" page, select "Remote Desktop Services installation"
• Choose "Quick Start" > "Session-based desktop deployment" (this is the simplest setup for multiple concurrent sessions)
• Select your Windows Server 2016 machine as the session host server, then follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation. You’ll need to restart the server once this finishes.

• After restarting, go back to Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > Collections
• Right-click your newly created collection (usually named "QuickSessionCollection") and select "Properties"
• Switch to the Sessions tab. Under "Maximum concurrent sessions", set the value to 6 (adjust if you need more/less later)
• You can also tweak session timeout settings here—like disconnecting idle sessions—to keep slots available for active users.

• Ensure all users who need to connect are added to the Remote Desktop Users group:
  1. Open Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Groups
  2. Double-click "Remote Desktop Users", then add the relevant user accounts or security groups
• Alternatively, configure access via Local Security Policy:
  1. Open secpol.msc from the Run dialog
  2. Navigate to Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services"
  3. Add the users/groups you want to grant access to here.

• By default, RDS gives you a 120-day trial period. After that, you’ll need to purchase and install Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses (CALs) (either per-user or per-device, based on your needs)
• To activate licensing:
  1. In Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > Overview, click "RD Licensing"
  2. Follow the wizard to activate your license server and install the purchased CALs. Without valid licenses, new RDP connections will be blocked once the trial expires.

Important Note: #

Skip any registry hacks you might find online to bypass the 2-session limit—these are unsupported by Microsoft, violate licensing terms, and can cause system instability. The RDS setup above is the only legitimate way to get multiple concurrent RDP sessions.
