There is no need to do this.,
If you require more than 10 connections you need to purchase the Windows
Server 2008 product.
If you alter the connection limit you would be in breach of your licensing
agreement.

When Microsoft limited connections in XP SP2, they said it was to slow the
propogation of worms through the internet, which would not make much
difference as it would happen exponentially. I doubt it had much to do with
wanting to sell more server licenses either.

It's to limit the effecttiveness of P2P software, and so telling somebody
that is using P2P software about breaching licensing agreements isn't going
to bother him.

Anyway, looks like it is possible now, from a quick Google search.
