One thing to keep in mind as you set up a console for monitoring remote computers
is that Windows Firewall prevents remote management in its default configuration.
For information on allowing remote management in Windows
Firewall, see the Knowledge Base article, “How to troubleshoot WMI-related
issues in Windows XP SP2,” available at http://support.microsoft.com/

How to Specify the Maximum Concurrent Users Who can Access a Shared Folder
17-5
You can use Computer Management to specify the maximum number of users who are
permitted to access a shared folder. To specify the maximum number of users, follow
these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, click Performance And Maintenance.
3. In the Performance And Maintenance window, click Administrative Tools.
4. In the Administrative Tools folder, double-click Computer Management.
5. In the Computer Management window, expand the System Tools node, and then
the Shared Folders node.
6. Click Shares.
7. In the right pane, right-click the shared folder for which you want to determine
the maximum number of concurrent users, and then click Properties.
Windows XP displays the Properties dialog box for the shared folder, with the
General tab active. By default, the User Limit is set to Maximum Allowed, which in
Windows XP Professional is 10 concurrent connections.
8. Click Allow This Number Of Users and specify the number of users (up to 10) that
you want to be able to connect to the shared folder.
Exam Tip When troubleshooting connectivity problems when a user cannot connect to a
share, do not forget to check the number of connections to the share and the maximum connections
allowed on the share. If the maximum number of connections has already been
made, the user cannot connect to the shared resource.
