Symptoms
You have a Windows Server 2008-based terminal server. If many users try to log on to or log off from the terminal server at the same time, some connection requests are denied, and then you receive the following error message:
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
For example, this issue may occur when 20 to 30 users try to log on or log off at the same time.
Note If a user tries to connect again, the second try may succeed.
