On the other hand, Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, can accept only one VPN (virtual
Private Network) connection at the same time. Moreover, Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, can accept up to 1,000 simultaneous VPN sessions. If 1,000 VPN customers are connected, the additional VPN attempts will be refused as much as the number of active VPN connections does not go down below 1,000.

Take into account that you should be a member of the Administrators group in order to execute the following procedure. It is suggested to right-click the Routing and Remote Access icon and then click on Run As option rather than to open a Windows session using the credentials of a member of the Administrators group. If you opened a session with identification information of a member of the Administrators security group, you can also open the Routing and Remote Access MMC (Microsoft Management Console) by double-clicking on Routing and distant access located in the Administrative Tools folder, which you can it by clicking on Start and then click on Control panel.
