I was working on a project and all of the sudden my SharePoint site and Central Admin started giving me the error ‘Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable’ and I was not able to access either of them. I realized that I had just changed the password to the Identity account password and then this started happening. So here is what I did to take care of the problem (It worked for me and not sure if this is the most efficient way of doing it):

1. Open up IIS Manager and click on Application Pools.

2. Locate your App Pool account and right-click on it and select ‘Advanced Settings’.

3. Click on the right of the Identity box to change it (A window will pop up).

4. Click on Set and simply retype your App Pool Identity in there with the new password.

Enable Multiple Remote Desktop Connections in Window

ref http://http://i.nconspicuo.us/2008/11/20/enable-multiple-remote-desktop-connections-in-window-server-2008/

On Windows Server 2008, the Restrict Terminal Services users to a single remote session Group Policy setting determines whether you can connect to your existing physical console session. When this option is enabled, when logging on by default, you will be restricted to a single remote session.

This setting is available in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Connections node of the Local Group Policy Editor. You can also configure this setting in Terminal Services Configuration. The Restrict each user to a single session setting appears in Edit settings in the General section.

If you would like to have multiple simultaneous sessions for the same user, please uncheck this setting or set this group policy as Disabled.

the ref. had some detail and simple description

http://http://theangryangel.co.uk/blog/ms-windows-server-2008-multiple-rdp-connections-per-user

At work it's sometimes useful to allow multiple connections to a server, from the same user account, so that we can get more done at once, or to help out each other.

By default on Windows 2008 server you can't do this. Simple fix: Start up gpedit.msc, go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Connections\, find "Restrict each user to a single session" and disable. If you're on a domain and want to apply it to multiple machines, you obviously need to make it a domain policy.
