Terminal server has exceeded maximum number of allowed connection

This error gets me all the time when using MS Remote Desktop to access remote Windows servers.

List the active sessions for the server 1.2.3.4

SESSIONNAME  USERNAME        ID      STATE     TYPE
console      Administrator   0       Active    wdcon
rdp-tcp                      65536   Listen    rdpwd
rdp-tcp#2    Administrator   1       Active    rdpwd
rdp-tcp#4    Administrator   2       Active    rdpwd
