Complete Dinner or à la Carte?

Managing Terminal Services Sessions Remotely
How to overcome some of the limitations of the 2 user limit in Terminal Services administration mode. In W2K I use Terminal Services in Administration mode and in W2K3 I use Remote Desktop.

This may happen if two people are legitimately using the servers or if someone forgot to log off. Yes, I do have the settings set to automatically disconnect and/or log off a user after X minutes of inactivity but even with that there are times when I need to be able to manage this remotely.
