Error: "... connections to this computer is limited..."
My Error reads "The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now..." when I try and log in, as Administrator, using Remote Desktop and I wonder if any of my settings/parameters/ in Remote Desktop could be causing this? There are no other Admins logged in remotely, and I understand only 2 are allowed, plus one at the Console... however every time I log in, alone, from Remote Desktop I get this error..
Anyone have a suggestion? It seems to have started on Friday 7-15-2016, after I pushed out patches that morning to our Server 2008 R2 bank of servers... but that is my best guess... as I had several users logged in at 9pm to 10pm working on an issue late at night Friday night...
But... again a guess...
Any help at all would be appreciated...

I'm on version 11.6.2.0 of Remote Desktop Manager...
Hi,
Do you get the same message when you connect in external mode?

No it works fine externally… I hadn’t tried that yet, and with that good point you make, I figured it out…
In my settings I had my Laptop computer name in the field for “Enter the name of the Remote Computer” so I think I was trying to Remote into my own laptop from my Laptop…. Even though the name of the connection was the Server name… the name of the TAB was the server name, I was actually pointing to my laptop for the .RDP session…
Thanks for the Quick reply, and a new neuron fired as soon as you asked…. And problem solved!!

What I might have been attempting, was to name the tabs ServerName_Admin vs ServerName_Todd so that when I log onto a terminal server as the Admin AND then the same machine as a user, I can tell the tabs apart...
How do I do that, and/or change the color of the tab depending on how I'm logged on, or which Group of computers I'm in....etc... I've seen another user have different colors for different clients networks and it was very clear!!
Thanks again!
