Securing Connections for Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions in Windows
Windows should automatically configure Windows Firewall to allow the RDP traffic to pass through. However, if you’re using a third-party firewall on your PC, you may be required to manually configure the firewall to allow the traffic.

It’s also vital to note that when remotely connecting over the internet, you must configure your router to forward incoming RDP connections to the desired PC. And unless you perform other RDP settings modifications to change the RDP ports in the Windows Registry, you will be limited to configuring one PC on the network for incoming connections via the internet.

What are Windows Remote Desktop Sessions?
For those unfamiliar with Remote Desktop sessions, using a standard RDP available on Windows 7 gives a single remote user unrestricted control over the mouse and keyboard, as well as all the programs and resources on the physical, or “host”, computer. It will appear and feel as if you were sitting right at your work PC.

So what happens when you need to access the host computer even though the machine is currently being operated by someone else either physically in the office or by another user logging in remotely?

The issue with multiple RDP Sessions on Windows 7
If a user attempts to log in remotely to a Windows 7 machine that is currently in use, the person physically using the machine or one that is logged in remotely will be kicked out of their session. The PC will bring up a message saying, “Logged on remotely from ‘computer name,’” followed by the prompt:

“Your Remote Desktop Session has ended. Another user connected to the remote computer, so your connection was lost. Try connecting again, or contact your network administrator or technical support group.”

The solution is Multiple Remote Desktop sessions, also known as concurrent sessions. This functionality offers the advantage of allowing multiple users to log in to the same computer without disturbing others who are already logged in and operating the machine.
