The system can not log you on. The system has reached its licensed logon limit. Please try again later.” This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks it is active.

However, if what you’re looking for is a list of shared resources on your network that you can connect to, you’ll find that by...

Don’t be so possessive! Getting ri...

So you say the only thing you really liked about Vista was the way they did away with the possessive adjective for your data folders – “Documents” instead of “My Documents,” and so forth. Now in Windows 7, it’s back again. What’s up with that? Maybe they were afraid we would get them confused with somebody else’s documents? At any rate, you can change it if you want. Here’s how: Click the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar. In the left pane, navigate to the drive where Windows 7 is installed. In the right...

Using a Command Line to Uninstall Softwa...

WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-Line) is a potent tool that often doesn’t see much use due to the lack of (easily accessible) documentation available. More information can be found on WMIC here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742610.aspx. We’ll be using WMIC with domain admin credentials to crawl through a list of nodes (PCs/Laptops) and uninstall an example program without interrupting the user. 1.
