Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services Configuration and authorization activation

In daily work, a remote connection to the server is often required, whereas the server system defaults to a maximum of 2 connections. As a result, the problem comes, often the "terminal server exceeds the maximum number of connections," resulting in the failure of the normal landing server. So how can we solve this problem?
