Enabling Multiple Remote DesktopSessions in Windows XP Professional andMedia Center Edition 2005

If you have ever used a real remote computer system like Citrix, then you have probably been

craving multiple Remote Desktop sessions since you first fired up Windows XP Professional and/or

Media Center Edition. Here is a HACK (translated: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK), to enable multiple

Remote Desktop sessions on your XP Pro or MCE 2005 box:

NOTE: You will have to have knowledge of the Windows operating system and more specifically

the Windows Registry. If you have no experience with the registry, then I would recommend you

find someone who does or leave these alone. I do not make any kind of warranty that this will work

for you or your friends. This is provided for entertainment purposes only. Don’t call me if your

computer stops working. Got it?

1. Print these directions so that you have them to work from.

2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode – Follow this link to learn how to restart Windows XP in

Safe Mode

3. Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services

1. Right click My Computer

2. Select Properties

3. Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window

4. UNCHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“

5. Click OK

6. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

7. Find Terminal Services in the list

8. Right click on Terminal Services and click Properties

9. In the Startup Type box, select Disabled

10. Click OK to close the window

Next you will replace the current version of the Terminal Services DLL (termsrv.dll) with an

unrestricted version from a previous release of Terminal Services.

1. Here is a copy of the (NOTICE: I have removed the link to this file as the one I had was

reported as carrying a trojan…try googling it) – Save it to your Desktop or other suitable

location

2. Using a file manager like Windows Explorer open C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

3. Rename the file termsrv.dll to termsrv_dll.bak or whatever you would like.

4. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file (the one you just downloaded from the web) to

C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

5. Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder

6. Delete the file termsrv.dll in C:\Windows\system32

Now we can edit the Windows Registry to enable more than one RDP connection. Go to Start

-> Run and type regedit – Hopefully you knew that already

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal

Add a DWORD Key named EnableConcurrentSessions and give it a value of 1

Close the Registry Editor window

Go to Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor

Browse to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components ->

Terminal Services and double click Limit number of connections

Select the Enabled button and enter the number of connections you would like to enable….at

least 2.

Restart Windows

Right click My Computer and select Properties.

Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window

CHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“

Click OK

Go to Start -> Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Services. Select Terminal Services from

the list and double click it or right-click -> Properties. Set the Startup Type to Manual.

Restart Windows/Computer

You should be good to go.

This worked perfectly for me – now i can update programs, run messanger, and

do other activities on my media center machine without bothing those that are

watching tv.

Tried this and it works awsome, though it will only allow 3 concurrent connections

even though 12 connections are set in group policy.

Anyone know of how to get 4 – 11 connections simultaneously?

Matthew

2242 days ago

I thought this was something different….I was able to use Remote Desktop before

all of these “hacks.” What I thought it was going to do would be to allow me to

watch tv or something over a remote desktop connection. Alas it failed, I’m not

sure what all of the above hacks are supposed to do.

Jason Golod

2242 days ago

Matthew, as far as I know, you cannnot watch television via a RDP

connection.This hack allows you to have up to 3 RDP connections to your MCE

box basically allowing you to log in to it while watching television on it locally.

Worked like a charm. although I ran into a slight problem but which was easily

cured. you didnt mention anything about copying the new dll to the system32

directory so i just deleted the old dll, did the reg and gpedit changes, then

restarted. RDC didnt want to connect. long story short I had to manually copy the

new dll to the system32 directory and manually start up the terminal services

service. Beyond that it works just like it should. Thanks for an awesome tut!

do i really need to reboot to safe mode or it’s ok to kill svchost, disable shutdown

and copy dll?

john

2205 days ago

how do we know that this file isnt hacked or something? I’m not saying it is, but

does this file exist in server 2003 or somewhere on MS site? I would rather get

this file from MS directly or from an installation of a MS product.

Jason Golod

2205 days ago

John, you don’t. I don’t make any warranty about the file. I have used it and if you

think that is good enough than go for it. I am getting married in 16 days, so I

really don’t have time to track the file down for you. Good luck.



Dexn

2191 days ago

John: No, it’s not the Server 2003 DLL (which, doesn’t work). I believe it’s a earlier

version of the file from XPSP2 RC2 or something like that.

There are a few other alternatives out there, I personally opted for

“TerminalserverNoRestrPatch” by AntiWPA (dot) org (dot) ru which worked

flawlessly for me, and did it automatically. I tested it and got up to 5 concurrent

users – didn’t think I’d need more than that

Basically what this does is run a RDP Server in the background. The reason you

can only have 3 connections is that’s the maximum allowed without buying a

RDP Server License. It’s a sweet hack…so thanks for the info bro! I am gonna

use it at home so I can RDP in from work and not kick the fiance off when she’s

at home. Thanks again.

I have a question .. I know this is about windows XP (used this info and worked

2003 Server (there are only 2+1 – i kinda need around 10 connections). Is there

possible to do this ?!

Thanks

Horia — installing terminal services on Windows 2003 (through add/remove

I was thinking about buying some winterms used. I saw some for $19.00 on

surplus computers, and setting them up in the house using this hack to make

myPC a server. I am considering this because I have 4 kids at home all on line

with various old PC and different OSs. It’s a maintenance nightmare for Dad. This

would allow me to do all maint.and control on one box. Do you think it will work?

..Thanks

XP is pretty resource intensive. I don’t think some “old surplus” PCs will run it

very well.

Because there’s a PC in my network using 2003 servet that is allowing multiple

before closing the RDC.

Yes, if you have administrator priviledges.

If you are looking for the dllcache folder, not only do you have to be able to view

hidden files, you have to be able to view system files…two different settings.

Tools –> Folder Options –> View Tab –> Uncheck the box for hide protected

operating system files.

That should do it.

C:\Windows\system32\dllcache is System directory of Windows, To see it, You

uncheck “Hide protected operating system files” in “Explore\Tools\Folder

Options\View”. Good luck to you.

I’m responding to the questionable origin of the termsrv.dll file. It does appear to

be from WinXP SP2 Beta. This info is in the file.

File Ver: 5.1.2600.2055 (xpsp_sp2_beta1.031215-1745)

If you’re that worried, run it in an intance of Virtual PC first.

I am using Windows XP Pro SP1, but it seems not working for SP1. Anyone

confirm it’s working for SP1?

Andrew

2098 days ago

Notes for this fix:

-It will NOT work with SP1 ever.

-You must use a DIFFERENT user to log in with

-The DLLCache folder is an optional stage, if the file isn’t there then don’t worry. If

it is then delete it.

-The DLLCache folder is hidden, you need to “Show hidden and system files”

Hope this helps.

Jason-

I don’t know if you can help but here goes. Back in April I had a bug and in order

to get my computer to respond I had to reformat my HD. It is a Dell 5100 that

came with Media Center Edition 2005. I never received a backup disc for this

program. I called Dell and they sent me a Reinstallation DVD /Winows XP Media

Center Edition 2005 with update. Upon installing nowhere does it ask if I want to

add or not add MCE. So it was never installed. I have tried PC Restore at the Del

logo page (Cntrl-F12) but this file is history. My question to you is: How do I get

this program on my computer? Do I do it manually? Is there a separate DVD just

for MCE 2005?

So far Dell has been no help for the last 4 months.

Many Thanks

Is it a requirement to have fast user switching enabled?

Hamish

2072 days ago

John, if your question is “is this legal?”, the answer is “no”. MS Licensing allows

an XP machine to be used by 1 user at a time, if you require multiple users, you

should purchase the server edition, and install Terminal Services if you require

more than 2 connections (excluding console access). If the question is “will they

sue”, I doubt they could be bothered.



Jeremy

Every time I replace this file, it ends up not working, and the version of the file

after the reboot is 5.1.2600.2180. Its almost like something on the computer is

taking the file I copy to it from above, version 5.1.2600.2055 and updating it every

time it reboots. Its also deleting the copy I saved to the desktop of the machine.

Could this be Norton Antivirus detecing that the file has changed and changing it,

or system restore doing it or something? I am pretty much confused. I download

1 version, replace the file, and then it just goes right back. Whats interesting is

the .2180 file isnt the same version as the original, it was even newer.

I m using a XP pro SP2, in a domain. and i have followed the above procedure but

Daryl

2052 days ago

Jeremy -> This is normal behaviour you are seeing with these windows system

files being automatically replaced. The feature is known as Windows File

Protection, designed to protect important system files.

c:\windows\system32\dllcache is this “backup” copy of the original system files.

If the OS detects one of the protected system files has been modified or deleted,

it replaces the file automatically with the original.

How to fix? My guess would be to replace the one in the dllcache with the new

file, then delete the original and let WFP replace the deleted file with the new one

you put in dllcache.

reaper

2050 days ago

ED, i have heard that this hack requires fast user switching to be enabled. this is

a problem since having your computer on the domain forces you to have fast user

switching turned off. you might get lucky with what dexn said though

This worked for me but not exactly what I wanted. I have a PC with a all-in-wonder

video card hooked to the TV. I wanted to be able to remote to that PC with my

laptop without killing the display. This hack is a different user. I need to be the

same user. I can use VNC to do this but it’s not near as good as a .RDP

Anybody know if this is possible? My end goal is to be able to play vid’s and

whatnot on the TV while seeing what I’m doing on my laptop. TV is too blurry as

the only monitor.

Will Microsoft’s Automatic Updates reverse our changes and replace the

Also, what are the risks we give our computer by doing this. Such as security

risks and maybe the possibility of computer errors?

There’s a MUCH easier way to do this. Try Sala’s Terminal Server patch:

I’ve done the manual way, but his patch makes it a cinch (single reboot).

2014 days ago

So I have this hack working on my xp pro machine. I can have many Remote

Desktop Connections at once.

The machine I have this hack on is a “server” machine. There is no moniter

hooked up to it. What I’m trying to do is have a “console” user which is always

logged in, to have a couple of applications which need to be always on run on

that user.

Once in a while I need to login and check on that user, just to see if there are any

messages from the applications running on that user.

I’m trying to use the “shaddow #” command, which requires you know the



terminal ID of the user.

I have a 2003 server machine which has this fantastic application called “terminal

services manager” installed on it.

Has anyone managed to get terminal services installed on an XP Prof. machine?

or is it simply not possible?

thanks for your help.

I tried this method on Windows Vista Ultimate 6.0 Build 5600 and after replacing

the DLL the service will not start and gives this error:

“Error 1314: A required priveledge is not held by the client.”

After reverting back to the Vista DLL, it works again, but is still limited to 1 user

at a time.

I am going to try and get my hands on the Windows 2003 Server DLL and I’ll post

here again whether that worked or not.

By the way, in Vista you need to change the permissions and owner on the DLL

before you will be able to change it. The original owner is “TrustedInstaller” and

you won’t be able to do anything to it.

Drugs

2007 days ago

Well I just tried with termsrv.dll from Windows 2003 Server and it gives the same

error “Error 1314: A required priveledge is not held by the client.” when starting

the service. So I guess I’ll have to patch the Vista’s version… (Or maybe try a

Vista Business edition termsrv.dll?)

Cliff

1997 days ago

TeraVilen, “Error 126: Module could not be found.” means that you need to copy

the DLL into /windows/system32/ because for some reason it wasn’t copied from

/system32/dllcache/ to /system32/ by Windows upon the restart. Copying it there

should get rid of the error.

Also ensure you have fast user switching enabled. With that, this worked for me.

few concurrent sessions but with different users. Much better than nothing, but is

there solution that allows one user to be logged in few sessions in one time?

sessions on XP Home, XP Pro.. and for the one that wants to buy 15 dollar

machines and set them up as winterminals to your intel celeron crap XP box..

you are an idiot too..

I hope all of you download a virus.. and it blows up your machines.. You are the

only reason that hackers get through to any machine..

and you dumb asses who cant find the dll cache folder… you too, are a bunch of

drooling idiots…

“Trolls can be existing members of a community that rarely post and often

contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative

what they thought was said rather than what was actually said by the other

Desktop board, but was really sad when I realized that Intel Desktop Boards does

not support Server drivers. The only reason I installed 2k3 Server was for multiple

RDP’s. Now I can finally accomplish this thanx to you “STUPID” guys (as you

because they are too stupid to follow instructions on a useful site like this, or

The dll works.

The problem arises when it is a member of a domain.

What I’ve done is remove it from the domain and create or join a workgroup for it.

Enable Fast User Switching and Reboot. That’s it.

Don’t forget to create user accounts and add them to the remote desktop users if

they are non-administrators.

Hey Folks. I got the termsrv.dll hacked to allow unlimited users (really it is set to

99) to log into XP!!

http://www.likestuff.com/termsrv.dll

I did some big tests with some thin clients. Here are my results:

5 thin clients on 512mb ram, no problem. If you close the connection instead of

logging off, when you try and log back in you get booted with TCP/IP error 4226.

Download the 4226 patch at http://www.likestuff.com/EvID4226Patch.exe and set

the connections to at least 50.

10 thin clients got some resource errors on 512mb ram. On 1 gig, no problem.

Opened lots of copies of word, excel, etc. Had my 4226 patch set at 100

connections.

20 thin clients needed 2 gigs of ram to have each one open both word and excel.

I had my 4226 patch set to 500.

When the 21st user tried to login, I got an out of virtual memory and a BSOD

(invalid page fault in module svchost.exe). I didnt have more then 2gigs of ram to

try, so not sure if that woulda helped.

Anyway folks, enjoy!

At first, I thought it had failed. But I tried to copy the termserv.dll directly to the

Thank you very much for your great information. I have been searching for this

solution over one week by Googling, so I have to thank Google too.

Ken, the dllcache folder is hidden. If you type it into the address bar manually

then Windows will show it.

Brad

1699 days ago

Just discovered something else — you need to have “fast user switching” enabled

in order for this to work. You enable that by going to Control Panel -> User

Accounts and then to “Change the way users log on or off”.

Also, one other issue I had was that I had to manually copy the termsrv.dll file

into C:\Windows\System32 as well (same as Wendra a few posts back).

Incidentally, for a variation on this there’s a post at:

Revised instructions…

1. Print these directions so that you have them to work from.

2. Download the Terminal Services DLL – Save it to your Desktop or other

suitable location

3. Restart your computer in Safe Mode – Follow this link to learn how to restart

Windows XP in Safe Mode

4. Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services

5. Right click My Computer

6. Select Properties

7. Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window

8. UNCHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“

9. Click OK

10. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

11. Find Terminal Services in the list

12. Right click on Terminal Services and click Properties

13. In the Startup Type box, select Disabled

14. Click OK to close the window

• Next you will replace the current version of the Terminal Services DLL

(termsrv.dll) with an unrestricted version from a previous release of Terminal

Services.

1. Using a file manager like Windows Explorer open



C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

2. If there is an existing file termsrv.dll, rename the file to termsrv_dll.bak or

whatever you would like.

3. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file (the one you just downloaded from the

web) to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

4. Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder

5. If there is an existing file termsrv.dll in this folder, rename this file to

termsrv_dll.bak or whatever you would like.

6. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file to C:\Windows\system32

• Now we can edit the Windows Registry to enable more than one RDP

connection. Go to Start -> Run and type regedit – Hopefully you knew that

already

• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal

Server\Licensing Core

• Add a DWORD Key named EnableConcurrentSessions and give it a value of 1

• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

• Ensure the DWORD Key named AllowMultipleTSSessions is set to a value of 1.

• Though this is not required, you may also wish to modify the DWORD Key

named LogonType. Set to a value of 0 to force users to enter a name and

password to logon locally; set to a value of 1 to force users to logon using the

Windows XP Welcome screen.

• Close the Registry Editor window

• Go to Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor

• Browse to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows

Components -> Terminal Services and double click Limit number of connections

• Select the Enabled button and enter the number of connections you would like

to enable….at least 2.

• Restart Windows

• Right click My Computer and select Properties.

• Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window

• CHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“

• Click OK

• Go to Start -> Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Services. Select Terminal

Services from the list and double click it or right-click -> Properties. Set the

Startup Type to Manual.

• Restart Windows/Computer

You should be good to go.

Can only add that this method is simply replacement of termsrv.dll. This version

is not a hack. It came from the beta of SP2 and didn’t have restrictions to 1

session. Only complication is that this service can’t be stopped by normal

commands. That’s why there’s a suggestion about running safe mode. But you

don’t have to.

And you can also do it remotely. I just did it. You need telnet session for that.

First you upload termsrv.dll to C:\ on the target machine using terminal session

or FTP. And then use the command

sc config termservice start= disabled

Then you restart the machine from the terminal service and reconnect telnet after

it reboots. Then you replace termsrv.dll in system32 and system32/dllcache with

whatever you uploaded using copy command.

Then use

sc config termservice start= demand

and then

net start termservice

That’s all.

Syeager

1607 days ago

One more addition. Other changes to policy and registry mentioned above are

needed. I was only talking about replacing DLL remotely.

Where is this hack supposed to be done, is it on the local computer or on the

Netter

1603 days ago

Yes, it’s supposed to be installed on the server ( the pc acting as the remote

Should be able to work on RDC6 cos RDC6 is compatible to RDP5

Jasper

Thanks Netter for the reply. But I’m still confused, does it allow 2 users (1 on

client computer and the other on the server) to logon simultaneously with the

same username and can actually see same contents displayed on the screen,

view same documents and control same applications at the same time?

I followed the instructions carefully but still the server does not allow

simultaneous logon using the same username. It only allows one user at a time

except if the other user logs on using a different username.

I’m just bringing up SP3 myself. Looks like it’s back to running vnc until its re-

hacked.

I’ve just installed SP3 and my previous fix to the multisession was killed, and no

way to get it up again.

Yesterday I found these instructions from Jason and applied them. Did everything

by the book, just one little difference: “C:/windows/system32/dllcache” does not

exist. Si all I did was skip that instruction and go to “C:/Windows/System32″ find

the termsrv.dll delete it and paste the one downloaded from here. All the rest was

just the same as explained. Very straight forward… and now: I’M BACK WITH

MULTISESSIONES IN XP SP3!!!!!!

Thx so much Jason, I use an XP machine with 2 simultaneous users sharing one

app installed in that computer that can not share the data base, so I have to have

multisessions to run the business (very small business… 3 people) to be able to

open the this back office system app we use (one per user) without having to

shut down the primary user session.

Thanks the process works great. A note for XP SP2 build 2600 and later, the path

c:\windows\system32\dllcache no longer contains termsvr.dll it resides in

c:\windows\system32 directory.

Very fast, amazing the amount of free processor and memory that is on a typical

computer.

Worked like a charm! I used it on a win xp sp3. There was no termsvr.dll in

c:\windows\system32\dllcache. It was in c:\windows\system32 only on mine. I

had three sessions so far logged in at the same time without any problems.

NICE!!!

To anyone that cant find the ‘Limit number of connections’ part make sure you

are actually looking in the terminal services folder options – there is no folder that

is called ‘Limit number of connections’

Thank you so much for getting this out here for all of us!

I also had trouble getting more than 1 connection started after following the

other registry keys that need to be modified in addition to

EnableConcurrentSessions. You can find all of the reg keys that need to be

edited in the zip file linked by the poster “web tasarım”, check the TS Reg

Patch.reg file. Once I changed the other 4-5 keys, it worked fine with 5 unique

sessions.

well, hack seems to have worked for a lot of people, but not me

the box I’m tryiing to enabled multiple concurrent RDP sessions on is running XP

SP2.

firstly, could not find dllcache folder, even after enabling ‘view hidden folders.’ So I

just put “C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache” into Explorer and it went there,

though there was no termsrv.dll file in that folder

after following instructions, I first was not able to connect to the box via RDP at

all. But after copying the termsrv.dll file provided to C:\WINDOWS\System32 , I

was able to connect via RDP, but with only one session.

I then tried running the TS Reg Patch.reg file mentioned by “home_network” on

22/8/08, but still unable to connect more than one user to the box via RDP (just

get the usual message that the other user will be kicked off when trying to

connect another user via RDP)

Very nice Jason. Fun to play with and the discussion is not bad either.

If you are at XP SP2 I found the Termserv_XPSP2_I386_1.0.exe to work well also,

at least the copy I downloaded. People have got to be smart about finding and

downloading files other than the termsrv.dll you recommend though. Read and

understand before acting folks!!!

These guys told me that in order to use my licenses that i paid $300 for, i would

have to hook up the dead drive to my new computer and make it the master drive

Joshua this is VERY common for anti viruses to state modified system files as

viruses. If you use, or can use, multiple av scanners on that file you will get very

different results.

There is another “hack” out there that reverses an XP’s limit on TCP/IP

connections from like 10 to 100. Its perfectly normal, not a problem and helps

with heavy network traffic (see P2P). Anyways, several Av scanners show this as

a virus, and it clearly is not. Even the creator of the file discusses this openly on

his site and explains why it shows as a trojan.

So not to worry, this is not a virus of any kind, this DLL file.

(PS – Keygens show up as a trojan from Norton and Mcafee, not on Kaspersky

or Bit Defender. Go figure)

Everything works fine of course. There’s only one thing I can’t manage. In

windows 2003 (for example) I can have multiple logins from same account (i.e.

from console and RDP by the same user at time) and both are two independent

sessions. In windows XP, after this hack I can’t login at the same user both to

console and RDP or on two independed RDP sessions. When user “X” is logged

in at console, every try to logon at this user via RDP causes to disconnect user

“X” from console. Do you have any solution on that ?

In principle it works for my. Several users can RD-connect to this PC and work.

BUT I can’t control it locally. When booting the usual starting screen (with the

dots running from left to right) appears. After that I get either a black screen or a

light blue screen with the mouse showing up (color depending on log on mode

(showing users to click on vs. old mode with user and pass to be entered

manually)). But it is impossible to log onto that PC when sitting in front of it

because I can’t do anything while these black/blue screen appears (also tried

strg alt del to log on).

I tried to remove it all (rereplace termsrv.dll and remove registry entry and

gpedit.msc change) but still the same.

Please can anyone help me to get it either working correctly or completely

remove it? Thank you in advance!!!

Works like a charm but:

Taking over the session of the other users doesnt work here.

Like when someone is logged in you usualy can click the user and say take over.

In case you need to assist.

I declare what kind of key stroke i have to make to disconnect from them and…

nothing.

So I installed vnc next.

Multiple users under xp, well vnc doesnt see it as a second or third screen.

Normaly i would connect like:

XP_SP2_PC:0 (main screen)

XP_SP2_PC:1 (second screen/user logon)

vnc will not load in the the other users. ok one minus point if whe add the thing

up.

kindly read the hack given on the above url,

Actually i am getting confused,which hack shall i use,currently i have tried the

steps given on this url on my laptop.after doing these steps i couldnt connect the

laptop machine from my desktop where the configuration are done.

an error of 126 occur.

file termsrv.dll has to be deleted from system32\,as per given in this configuration

on this url.

later i did copied the termser.dll file in system32\,now i can connect RDC to the

laptop machine from desktop machine.

But,when i log on to the laptop machine,RDC gets disconnected.so i suppose the

hack is not working properly on my laptop.

Also do i have to install a different program of terminal services DLL,to run RDC

for multiple users.

My purpose of RDC is just to keep a track on office pc`s and internet cafe`s wher

we have provided internet connections.

Actually i run an internet network in a radius of 7 Kms,with 300 above customer

To work in a machine which is part of a domain (AD or Samba/LDAP) you MUST

enable it in the registry:

“AllowMultipleTSSessions” must be “1″. (find it with regedit.exe)

For default (all time the machine is started) Windows set this value to “0″. Then

you must change it to “1″ to made the solution explained here, work.

This must be execute with administrative rights, so, you will have to execute

some command with another user/password (with administrative rigths), because

for default i expect, not all users have this rigths. One solution is to use the

command runasspc.exe, which you can execute inside a batch program in a non

interactive way.

Si funciona buy bien en SP3 de XP-Pro, lo unico es que un paso fue omitido en

las instrucciones, que el archivo ademas de pegarse en DLLCACHE, tambien

deben hacerlo en SYSTEM32, y trabaja a la perfeccion.

referente a lo que dijeron arriba que es un spamer, eso si no lo se, me dare

cuenta en algunos dias si el anti-spam de mi proveedor lo detecta..

pero para multiterminal funciona muy bien.

Got to gpedit.msc and right click on Administrative Templates and select

add/remove templates select Add… and choose all the templates but the AER_*

ones and you should get your GP back.!

“Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor


Components -> I am not getting “Terminal Services”. i cross checked twice, every

thing seems ok but i wonder why i am not getting “terminalservices” through

gpedit.msc!!!”

Do you have a solution for Windows 2008 R2 SMB. It also only takes two

simultaneous sesssions.

Luchris > just click on the administrative templates with right mouse button and

select Add/remove. click add button and add system.adm or config.adm. and

Terminal service must be under Windows Component.

Worked, not out of the box, i was already wondering when i did it why

only

# Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder

# Delete the file termsrv.dll in C:\Windows\system32

and not copy the termsrv.dll you downloaded there

after coping it also there it seems to work actually

This is an AMAZING hack! Works great, it’s VERY important to follow all

instructions closely. And if you haven’t edited your system registry before or run

mscedit.exe – I wouldn’t advise doing this. (Get a friend who knows more to

help!).

Great blog!!!!

Works fine for me, but the problem I encounter was it takes time before the

session loads up. Though there are only two sessions present, I have to wait for

about 10-15 mins. Any thought of this?

I am using VNC Enterprise Edition 4.2.6 on a Solaris 10 box and having a

problem. It won’t launched after the login screen, it crashed. Anyone know or

might be able to drop me a line? I am thinking it might have to do with xstartup?

Thanks,

Alan

Fabulous, worked perfectly, the only thing i did different was to also copy the

termsrv.dll in the c:\windows\system32, which the notes said to delete the file

only.

Thanks for a great post!!

good job!

it worked after i enabled the user acount switcher… (sorry i have’nt the right

name, i use a french version of xp)

Start -> Control Panel -> user acounts > “modify how users open and close

sessions” > CHECK : “use home screen” and CHCK : “use the swift user’s

switch”

sorry for the bad translation ^̂

Yeah, cool, thank’s, working for me… but… lot of details missing on the road.

The most important for me :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

AllowMultipleTSSessions -> 1

the solution has been working perfectly till I kept the computer off the internet.

But as soon as I connected the internet, some hidden windows updates (even

when the auto updates option was off) stopped it.

I have tried it at least 4 times by restoring ghost.

How can I disable stealth auto updates??

i gone thru every step from here and yet i still facing problem..

I’m using windows XP SP2 and tried with the above steps, but when I logon using

another user id, system will kick out the existing login user id. Still cannot have

multiple user id login. I’ve the message like ” The user xxx is currently logged on

to this computer. If you continue this user’s windows session will end and any

un-saved data will be lost. Do you want to continue? Hope that someone can

help. Thanks

Running XP MCE SP3. I couldn’t get the original hack to work, but I used the

Terminal Services patch Brendan linked to and it worked perfectly.

5.5 years later … works almost exactly as described – thanks! Replace *both*

occurrences of termsrv.dll in system32 and system32\dllcache (and copy one or

the other to your desktop under a different name if you think you might need to

revert to the old behavior). Also set Service Terminal Services to Automatic – you

may need to manually start it the after rebooting

I did everything according to the instructions given in here.

But I’m getting an error when I try to start Terminal Services.

Error says :

“Could not start the Terminal Services service on local computer

Error 126 : The specified module could not be found”

Plus, I did start the dependant service before I start the “Terminal Services”

I’m using XP box with sp 3

BTW, the new dll I got from the website is only 74kb. Kind a small file compare to

the original.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Also I need to add that since I have a dual boot pc I booted into vista and did all

the dll copy/del/rename in the XP system files without the need to shutdown-

restart services/safe mode etc and it still worked fine.

Thanks again

This worked on win Xp SP3. However, after delete termsrv.dll on step 6, I also

copied the modified termsrv.dll for system32 folder, like was done in dllcache.

This is just stupid…. where are you meant to find the hacked down version of

termsrv.dll when you dont list any sources of where this can be downloaded

from??????
