Read the original article Hit count: 180

we have a windows 2008 R2 standard server which job is to accept incoming VPN connections via PPTP.

it seems to work fine, but the moment the 6th user try to connect, we get the following error:

ERROR_VPN_DISCONNECT 807 The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be caused by a problem in the VPN transmission and is commonly the result of internet latency or simply that your VPN server has reached capacity.

where do we find out how to increase the amount of simultaneously users?, I read somewhere that we can have over 100 connected clients at the same time, when I created this server, I did the following :

  1. Network & sharing -> Network adapters ->
  2. File -> new incoming connections
  3. now I tried to choose and create users here, but we have a domain controller which seems to override this, so the domain users works

after this I was able to connect atleast 5 clients...

how and where do I increase the "capacity"?
