If you’ve worked on a network with Windows servers, you’ve encountered this error message at least 37,000 times:

“The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections. 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.

The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. (If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions)

To use the command line hacks, you might need to run them from another server if your local operating system doesn’t include the commands. You will also need to make sure that you are logged onto that server with an administrative account. The easiest way to do that is just map a drive (you don’t have to use a drive letter unless you choose to)

net use /user:[username] \\servername\share

Here’s a command line hack that you can use to figure out what sessions are connected to the server. Note that you could substitute the IP address for the server name.

query session /server:servername

Sample output:

Now we know that the session ID of the offending session is 2. We can use that in the next step, which is using the reset command to log off that user.

reset session [ID] /server:servername

Sample:

This command won’t display any output, but when we run the query command again, we should see that the session has now been disconnected:

You can use Sticky Notes to write a to-do list, jot down a phone number, or do anything else that you’d use a pad of paper for. You can use Sticky Notes with a tablet pen or a standard keyboard. To write a note using a tablet pen, simply start writing on the note where you want the ink to appear. To type a note, click where you want the text to appear, and then start typing.

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:

1. Click the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar.
2. In the left pane, navigate to the drive where Windows 7 is installed.
3. In the right pane, double click Users.
4. Double click your profile name.
5. Right click on My Documents, or any of the other “My” folders, and select Rename.
6. Rename to Documents.

Now you’re rid of that silly possessive determiner again.

1. Right click the Explorer icon on the taskbar.
2. Hold down Shift and right click the Windows Explorer icon in the Jump List.
3. Select Properties.
4. On the Shortcut tab, change the Target field to open to the location of your choice.
5. Click OK.

To change it to open to My Documents, change the Target field to:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

To open to any other folder, change to:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe folder path

I ran into this lame issue today… I wrote a C++ app sent it to my beta tester ( Andrew) and he said it failed … So i went on the mission and found the fix ! Not only did i find a fix but i found a reason and thats good because most of the time we never know  the true reason behind a strange issue. The issue is normally convoluted in a sea of code  that dates back  years well not this time!  Read on!

Reason

In some cases it occurs because the machine has Microsoft Visual C++ installed, and the Visual C++ libraries have become corrupted.

In other cases it indicates that the installation of Suite did not completely finish. In some situations the Suite installation will require a reboot when finished. However, the ‘reboot’ dialog is not always displayed. In these cases the Suite install log will show:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Restarting your computer is recommended:
In order to Finish the installation, please restart the computer
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Solution

Solution 1: Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 runtime. (Visual C++ users only)

If you are a Microsoft Visual C++ user, then do the following steps:

1. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 runtime.
2. Reboot the machine
3. Relaunch the Suite applications.

Solution 2: Reboot your system and restart the applications.

If you have just installed Creative Suite, then perform the following steps:

1. Reboot the machine.
2. Relaunch the Suite applications

All i did was install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 runtime making sure i closed visual studio 2008, once the install was finished i opened visual studio and recompiled my app and voila!  my applications now work on other machines!

thank you for tuning into this epic victory … we live to code another day!
