I just installed a copy of Windows Server 2012 but I'm not able to configure RDP Settings and manage RDP Connections as usual because the specific MMC snapins (tsconfig.msc and tsadmin.msc) appears to be missing.
The toolsalsoseem to be missing
from "Server Manager/Add Role and Features".
With server 2008 for remote desktop Admin mode the default setting was to restrict each specific user account to a single session although you could indeed have 2 concurrent admin connections if they were different accounts.
Can't see how to change this in 2012?
Hi:
Simply disable the “SingleSessionPerUser” Terminal Services setting. This works immediately with no reboot required.
RDS management tools used in previous version of Windows such as TSADMIN and TSCONFIG are no longer present in Windows Server "8" Beta, and management functions that administrators were used to performing with these tools are now accomplished by the new
RDMS user interface.
For remote adminstration purposes, all you have to do is Enable remote management. This can be done from Server Manager > Local Server. And, I had two users with admin privileges logged in with no problem. From a licensing standpoint,
this is what is allowed.
I'm curious. What more are you trying to accomplish?

For example, with Windows Server 2012 and RDP in Admin Mode Only there is no way to change the certificate used to encrypt the RDP traffic.
With server 2008 for remote desktop Admin mode the default setting was to restrict each specific user account to a single session although you could indeed have 2 concurrent admin connections if they were different accounts.
I needed to alter the certificate as well. I ran TSConfig.msc on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server then right clicked and choose to connect to another machine. I entered the IP Address of my 2012 server and it let me adjust the certificate. I
was not able to figure out how to do this directly within Server 2012.

I think the truly easy answer was missed. The local server functionality of TSAdmin was moved into Task Manager. Just go to the Users tab. All of the previous functionality is there, just right click the user name.
