Configure Windows Server 2003 (DC) for Synchronizing to an
External Time Source
1. Open “regedt32.exe”
from Windows Run

of one or more DNS names or IP addresses. Example: 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
5. Now stop and restart the Windows
Time service from Windows Command Prompt

Enable multiple Remote Desktop sessions per user

Monowar Leave a comment

Remote Desktop/Terminal Services has two settings for multiple sessions. You can
either allow multiple sessions per user or force a single session per user.

To change this setting, you’ll need to perform a registry change. The following
steps describe the process:

  1. Start Registry Editor (Open Run, then type regedit and enter).

  2. Go to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminalServer

  3. If the fSingleSessionPerUser value doesn’t exist, create a new DWORD value
    named fSingleSessionPerUser
  4. Open the fSingleSessionPerUser value. The possible values for this setting
    are as follows:

    0x0 – Allow multiple sessions per user

    0x1 – Force each user to a single session

  5. Enter the new setting, and then click OK.
