My server is currently setup so that when someone connects through Remote Desktop Connection it starts a new session. On another server I have it is limited to one session and it takes over the previous session. I have forgot how I did that.

How do I limit users to one session?

You can configure a number of per-user terminal services settings for each user via Active Directory Users and Computers. You need to be a domain administrator; open the ADUC administrative tool and perform the following:

In the left pane, expand the domain name and click the Users folder.
In the right pane, right click the name of the user and select Properties.
Click the Terminal Services Profile tab.
Check or uncheck the Allow logon to terminal server checkbox at the bottom to control whether or not the user can access the terminal server.
You can create a profile and set a path to a terminal services home directory using this tab.

Using the Sessions tab, you can set terminal session timeout limits for a particular user, control what happens when the session limit is reached or the connection is broken, and determine whether the user can reconnect to a session via any client computer or only the original one.

So this is only possible with a terminal services license?

*edit* I found what I wanted. I went into Terminal Services Configuration, then Server Settings along the left and changed Restrict each user to one session to Yes.
