Default Max Sessions on an XP workstation?


Hi,

I have several XP workstations in our domain that contain disks configured
for sharing. The workstations are all on the same network/domain which is
served by Win2K Server.

- What's the maximum number of connections (sessions?) that can be supported
by XP when its sharing a disk?
- Does a "Remote Login" session count as one session?
- What's the definition of a "session" anyway?
- Is there any way to automatically delete connections that have been idle
for a specified period of time?

Thanks Lou P.

Lou,

The Microsoft article should answer all these questions:

10 concurrent connections.
Remote Desktop is one connection, but I don't know that it counts.

My advice - don't store any data locally, don't create workstation shares,
don't grant users local admin rights (so they can't do this themselves) -
store everything on the server, and manage everything centrally. Keep
workstations as identical/vanilla as possible. The whole point of a domain
model is centralization, the way I see it.
