Win32_TerminalServiceSetting class

  • Article

The Win32_TerminalServiceSetting WMI class represents the configuration for a Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server. Settings include capabilities such as RD Session Host server mode, licensing, Active Desktop, permissions, deletion of temporary folders, and temporary directories for sessions.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all defined and inherited properties, in alphabetical order. For reference information on methods, see the table of methods later in this topic.

LimitedUserSessions

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read/write

Indicates whether the feature to limit the number of both active and inactive sessions that are allowed on an RD Session Host server is enabled. For example, you may want to set LimitedUserSessions to guarantee license compliance for a particular application that is installed on the RD Session Host server. Or, you may want to limit the maximum number of sessions on an RD Session Host server in a load-balanced farm so that the server will not be overloaded if another server in the farm fails.

Note

The session that is used to connect to the server for administrative purposes is not affected by LimitedUserSessions.

In an RD Session Host server farm, if a user exceeds the session limit, the session will be directed to another server by RD Connection Broker load balancing. If the server is a stand-alone server, the user will not be able to connect.

Because of the session that is used to connect to the server for administrative purposes, and the timing of the enforcement of the number of sessions during the logon cycle, it is recommended that you set LimitedUserSessions to a value that is slightly lower that the physical limit for the number of sessions on a server.

The LimitedUserSessions property is only valid if the RD Session Host role service is installed.

0

The feature is disabled.

1 or greater

A value of one or greater represents the maximum number of sessions (both active and inactive) that are allowed on the RD Session Host server.

Remarks

Win32_TerminalServiceSetting is associated to Win32_TerminalService as the Setting property of the Win32_TerminalServiceToSetting association.

Win32_TerminalSetting is associated to Win32_Terminal as the Setting property of the Win32_TerminalTerminalSetting association.

To connect to the Root\CIMV2\TerminalServices namespace, the authentication level must include packet privacy. For C/C++ calls, this is an authentication level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_PRIVACY. For Visual Basic and scripting calls, this is an authentication level of WbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy or "pktPrivacy", with a value of six.

The following Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) example shows how to connect to a remote computer with packet privacy.

strComputer = "RemoteServer1" 
Set objServices = GetObject( _
    "winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}!Root/CIMv2/TerminalServices")

Managed Object Format (MOF) files contain the definitions for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes. MOF files are not installed as part of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). They are installed on the server when you add the associated role by using the Server Manager. For more information about MOF files, see Managed Object Format (MOF).
