Symptoms
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) are published on a Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 through Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) in a network environment. Sometimes, external users cannot connect to the published RDS, and they receive the following error message:
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server reached its maximum allowed connections. Try reconnecting later or contact your network administrator for assistance.
Additionally, an event that resembles the following is logged on the RD Gateway server:
Cause
This issue occurs because user connections are not closed correctly. Therefore, some Forefront Network (Edge) tunnels are leaked. When the number of concurrent connections to the RD Gateway server has reached the maximum number, all new connection requests are denied.
