Network Error Message When Maximum Connection Limit Exceeded

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you connect to a Terminal Server that is at its maximum number of connections allowed, you may receive the following error message:

Because of a network error, the session will be disconnected. Please try to reconnect.

CAUSE

The host has exceeded the maximum number of connections available. When a Terminal Server exceeds its maximum network connection limit, an event is logged so that the administrator knows why the network client was rejected. The network client will receive the above error message.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
