SYMPTOMS

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.
