Default Remote desktop user limit

I have seen conflicting information on this board about the user limit for XP
Professional Remote Desktop. There appears to be a registry setting to allow
multiple users to connect concurrently and yet some people indicate it is one
user at a time. Is there an application spec sheet for Remote Desktop I can
review for the final word on this issue?

Thanks.

Default Re: Remote desktop user limit

Here is the definitive article that describes this...

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=280828

There was an unsupported registry hack included in early SP2 Beta releases
that would allow more than one user to be logged on a XP Pro box while in a
RDP session. That was not included in the final SP2 release however.
