Enabling Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions in Windows XP Professional and Media 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?
- Print these directions so that you have them to work from.
- Restart your computer in Safe Mode - Follow this link to learn how to restart Windows XP in Safe Mode
- Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services
- Right click My Computer
- Select Properties
- Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window
- UNCHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“
- Click OK
- Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
- Find Terminal Services in the list
- Right click on Terminal Services and click Properties
- In the Startup Type box, select Disabled
- Click OK to close the window
- Here is a copy of the Terminal Services DLL - Save it to your Desktop or other suitable location
- Using a file manager like Windows Explorer open C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
- Rename the file termsrv.dll to termsrv_dll.bak or whatever you would like.
- Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file (the one you just downloaded from the web) to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
- Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder
- Delete the file termsrv.dll in C:\Windows\system32
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.
February 26th, 2006 at 7:43 pm
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?
March 26th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
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.
March 27th, 2006 at 8:06 am
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.
April 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pm
Great solution. Works just as expected!
THANK YOU!
April 27th, 2006 at 11:11 am
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!
May 2nd, 2006 at 12:33 pm
do i really need to reboot to safe mode or it’s ok to kill svchost, disable shutdown and copy dll?
May 3rd, 2006 at 6:49 am
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.
May 3rd, 2006 at 8:03 am
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.
May 16th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
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
May 21st, 2006 at 11:31 am
Great hack, exactly what I needed now I can listen to different music in different rooms without having to copy the database everywhere
May 26th, 2006 at 8:03 am
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.
Steve
May 27th, 2006 at 11:44 am
You should be carefull…
The TerminalserverNoRestrPatch contains a trojan - Win32/Agent.JH
June 6th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
I’m having trouble restarting TermServ. I get an Error 126: Module could not be found. This is when i try to manually start it in services after noticing a failure to connect after the reboot.
Steve
June 8th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
The “HACK” not working for my Windows, i have try to connect from others terminal and Local Session was closed as same as before i use Remote Desktop Service, I am using Windows XP Profesional + SP2 + Recent Update.
June 9th, 2006 at 8:57 am
I do not have a C:\Windows\system32\dllcache directory. Am I supposed to create this directory? I have enable visibility on all hidden folders
June 13th, 2006 at 12:50 am
I have a question .. I know this is about windows XP (used this info and worked great), but i need to increase the no. of concurent connections on a Windows 2003 Server (there are only 2+1 - i kinda need around 10 connections). Is there possible to do this ?!
Thanks
June 16th, 2006 at 9:09 pm
Horia — installing terminal services on Windows 2003 (through add/remove programs >>> windows components) allows you to have more than 2 concurrent remote users…
July 2nd, 2006 at 1:04 am
I don’t have the “DLLcache Folder” either, what should I do?
July 5th, 2006 at 12:44 pm
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
July 5th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
XP is pretty resource intensive. I don’t think some “old surplus” PCs will run it very well.
July 13th, 2006 at 12:53 am
Is it possible to disconnect a remote desktop connection of a remote host from another computer?
Because there’s a PC in my network using 2003 servet that is allowing multiple user RDC simultaneously, and some guys were using it but forgot to logOFF before closing the RDC.
Thanks.
July 13th, 2006 at 8:12 am
Yes, if you have administrator priviledges.
July 18th, 2006 at 10:57 am
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.
July 28th, 2006 at 8:11 pm
hello evebdy …pls tell me
1). how can allow login remotely access xp with limited account (user).
2).concurrent access in more easy way.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:27 pm
sorry but i can’t find the dllcache folder on my winXP SP2…. i tried searching the entire system directory but didn’t find it.. i have the option show hidden files checked..
how can i find it?
August 9th, 2006 at 1:32 am
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.
August 9th, 2006 at 9:34 am
sorry mate.. but now i can’t find the termsrv.dll in the dllcache folder so i can rename it or delete it as stated above!!
August 9th, 2006 at 9:36 am
by the way.. i’ve already installed the remote desktop terminal service on my pc and can remotely login to it!!
August 10th, 2006 at 2:47 am
hmm, is there a “Terminal Services Manager” likes one in w2003 in XP pro? or any 3rd party apps can do that? or anyway to copy it from w2003?
ty in advance
August 10th, 2006 at 7:34 am
AGP, MCE2005 is XP Pro…just with a fancy cover.
August 15th, 2006 at 2:15 pm
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.
August 17th, 2006 at 1:51 am
I am using Windows XP Pro SP1, but it seems not working for SP1. Anyone confirm it’s working for SP1?
August 17th, 2006 at 12:49 pm
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.
August 24th, 2006 at 3:06 pm
GREAT! This is absolutely great! A bit overflowing instructions though, I just killed all svchost.exe and ran shutdown -a
;-p
August 27th, 2006 at 7:01 am
I have my MCE2005 machine connected to my home theater. When I log in from an otheer computer via remote desktop the local computer/user ( the one connected to the home theater) will log out. Will this hack keep the machine loged in?
August 28th, 2006 at 8:52 am
That is why I use it
August 28th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
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
August 28th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
Will this work with a XP Pro system that is a domain member, or Workgroup member only?
August 29th, 2006 at 8:52 am
will m$ sue my enterprise if i do this?
August 30th, 2006 at 8:32 am
Is it a requirement to have fast user switching enabled?
September 12th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
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.
September 29th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
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.
September 30th, 2006 at 5:52 am
I m using a XP pro SP2, in a domain. and i have followed the above procedure but i am unable to start more than one sessions(ofcourse with different user). are there any setting other than mentioned.
October 3rd, 2006 at 5:33 am
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.
October 4th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
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
“TerminalserverNoRestrPatch” by AntiWPA (dot) org (dot) ru
October 8th, 2006 at 5:13 pm
Is any one know how to enable 4 - 11 connections simultaneously?
October 15th, 2006 at 7:48 pm
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.
October 16th, 2006 at 1:41 am
Let me try this …
October 16th, 2006 at 9:35 am
you can’t watch videos via an RDP connection as far as I know. Why not just get something like a MCE extender box or extender to watch it on a tv…or connect the tv as another monitor?
October 22nd, 2006 at 3:12 pm
Followed the instructions … Tried to RDC to no avail.
I then proceed to try to manually start TermServ service only to get:
Error 126: Module could not be found.
Please advise what I need to do next …
Thanks,
Teravilen
October 28th, 2006 at 8:16 am
Will Microsoft’s Automatic Updates reverse our changes and replace the “hacked” termsrv.dll file with the original one?
Also, what are the risks we give our computer by doing this. Such as security risks and maybe the possibility of computer errors?
November 2nd, 2006 at 3:56 am
Above article work perfectly with RDP services. please keep righting. Thank you,

Will someone please answer the question about fast user switching and using this hack on a domain computer?
Has anyone got this to work on a domain computer?
It did not work for me (the righ DLL is being used, but multiple sessions are not working).
November 2nd, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Know how this will work for Windows Server 2003? or does someone have the tech doc on it… thanks!
November 4th, 2006 at 11:27 am
Great hack but….. i’m using a DOMAIN connected computer (fast switching issue) !!!!!!!!! I see that there are those here that speak of “TerminalserverNoRestrPatch” by AntiWPA”.
I can’t find this anywhere on the internet. Anyone knows where to get it or something like it (at it’s cost), can you email it or post it to me.
I need this more than i need my teeth.
O.k., let me know
Li’ Poppet
November 4th, 2006 at 12:54 pm

P.S: i never keep my windows update ON.

There’s a MUCH easier way to do this. Try Sala’s Terminal Server patch: http://sala.pri.ee/?page_id=11
I’ve done the manual way, but his patch makes it a cinch (single reboot).
November 10th, 2006 at 12:37 am
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.
November 12th, 2006 at 6:40 am
It is known that it WONT work on a machine part of a domain;
A patched termsvr.dll (not an old one the sp2 dll but patched) that allows any amount of users can be found at ftp://efraim.homeftp.net
user termsvr
November 12th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
The link don’t work. Any mirror?
November 14th, 2006 at 11:00 pm
Re: console login
Create a shortcut to the following
%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe /console
This runs remote desktop and connects to the console.
To do CTRL-ALT-DEL use CTRL-ALT-END instead.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:33 pm
Jason, I’m running xp pro sp2. Was trying to follow the steps you gave but somehow my box doesn’t have the directory C:\Windows\system32\dllcache. If I create it manually would it still work? Thanks
November 16th, 2006 at 6:46 am
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.
November 16th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
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?)
November 20th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
do you know this software?
http://www.xpunlimited.com
The trial has 3 conn max for free!
November 26th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
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.

Hey Drugs —
Any luck with Windows Vista? Has anyone had any success with concurrent multiple remote desktop sessions with Windows Vista?
December 11th, 2006 at 11:28 pm
Hi…
When i m trying to connect my machine using RDC from other machine and after that i m disconnecting the session my machine automatically getting shutdown. Will this problem be solved by this HACK??
December 22nd, 2006 at 10:22 pm
I’m wondering if something like this can be made to work on a Win XP Home machine. I want to be able to run one program from my wife’s PC while on my Mac in another room. I’ve been seaching for a day and can only find options for XP Pro. Any way to get termainal services or RDP to work on XP Home?
December 29th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
There is no place in the instructions that tell you to put the termv.dll file in C:\Windows\System32 which is where Windows looks for it. Just putting it in the …dllcache folder does NOT WORK.
December 29th, 2006 at 1:10 pm

Create/modify “AllowMultipleTSSessions” to DWORD value of 1.
February 4th, 2007 at 11:21 am
It seems like I am running into the same issue as eveyone else with Vista. Any updates on getting this to work with Vista would be appreciated!
February 8th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Quick question. I got this working just fine on XP. However, on Windows 2000 in Terminal Services mode I can logon twice with the same user account at once. However in XP when I do that, I get kicked out of one session. Anyone have a work around for that?
thanks,
bob
February 10th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
Worked like a charm ! perfect
February 11th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
I followed the steps perfectly, but when I restarted and tried to logon no connection was allowed. I can’t even do what I once could do. I then retratced my steps to get things back to normal, and I still cannot logon remotly. HELP!

I tries this hack and first impression was that is doesn’t work - I connected to my PC from laptop and session on my PC was disconnected, I was logged on laptop but logged of from PC. Then I tried different user - and it worked. So I can have 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?
February 16th, 2007 at 8:52 am
This just beta test release by Microsoft in beta sp2.
This doesnt work with home edition.

dunno if it work with new version release by microsoft inc. …terminal service ver 6 for vista.!!!
February 19th, 2007 at 2:23 am
here is a link to a tutorial for the Vista Termserv hack.
It also has the patched termserv dll as well.
This only works on vista business and ultimate as far as i am aware at the moment.

February 23rd, 2007 at 6:34 am
Thanks so much. Worked flawlessly even with the German XP Professional SP2
Have to work with Windows for the first time in years (usually using Linux), and I think something like that just has to work out of the box.
Meanwhile I realize why I switched the ship 3 years ago…
March 5th, 2007 at 8:02 am
Do I need to restart terminal services? When I attempt to I get error message Error 126: Module could not be found. Have I missed a step?
Also, I am a part of a workgroup but not a part of domain. Will that create issues?
March 6th, 2007 at 4:35 am
This doesn’t work for me. i did everything but still i can have one RDC connection.
March 6th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
Doesn’t work for me either, anyone have a link to a page that does work for Win XP 64 bit?
March 9th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
The best is when you get a copy of XP service pak 3. ( yea ! that one that was never realeased) I disconnected at 17 Cconnection. Infact my old P3, machine crawled while trying to support all these connections. IT IS BEAUTIFUL
April 5th, 2007 at 6:00 am
GREAT! It works
with Win XP Sp2 Hun! (Of corse, with the adequate hungarian settings.)
April 11th, 2007 at 4:40 am
I am also running WinXP SP2, i have applied the crack, i can still use RDP for my ADMIN account, however, i still cant have my other account RDP at the same time!, why doesnt my hack work?
April 11th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
YOU GUYS ARE ALL STUPID.. Every single one of you.. This would be a perfect site for a hacker to upload some bull .dll file or exe to enable “rdp” on xp with multiple sessions.. blah blah blah… All of you are a bunch of idiots with 7 dollar an hour helpdesk jobs.. THIS IS WHY System Admins / High level, hate you helpdesk idiots… bunch of retards drooling over a dll file that can allow you to watch a tv channel over RDP or run applications remotely… bunch of retards…
April 11th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Lee - You are absolutley right… These retarded helpdesk idiots all have one thing in common.. they are drooling over a file that enables RDP multiple 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…
this forum is like level .5 helpdesk wanna be

Lee and Joaquin, you are the only idiots here. You whine like an old couple, but that’s all you seem to be able to do. If you were really that good, you would have tested and analyzed that dll to make sure it’s safe or not. A bunch of clueless whiners that’s what you are hahahaha.

“Don’t feed the trolls” (Lee Childress and Joaquin Torres).
“Trolls can be existing members of a community that rarely post and often contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative posts in an attempt to discredit another person, more often than not based on what they thought was said rather than what was actually said by the other person, concentrating almost exclusively on facts irrelevant to the point of the conversation, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.”
Just don’t care about them…
By the way, i’m trying to make this patch works in a domain too!!!

I am not a helpdesk worker. I am an IT professional. I am rich. I have an awesome Dual Core XP Pro Box with this Termainl Serivices Patch. It works great so my wife can be on at home and I can remote in from a worksite to check on some things. I’m at the TOP of my game in IT so ignore the mouthy losers with nothing better to do than bash others. Live life now becuase you never know when your name gets picked!

I would like to congratulate all the guys for their hard work getting this to work. I shall try the patch shortly. I decided to install Win2k3 server on my P4 with 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 were called by the two morons). I hate it when people act like children. Just because they are too stupid to follow instructions on a useful site like this, or have to much damn money.

Is the terminal server suppose to start on its own or are we suppose to manualy staer it .. at the moment it will no longer let me log in via remote desktop, If I look at the Terminal Services I noticed that it is not started and when I try to start the service I get Error 126: The specified module could not be found.
Can you help me with this ?
April 29th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Ok, I have fixed my problem .. I Just copied the dll file to the system32 folder aswell and didn’t let windows repair …. Works a treat .. Just what I needed

Looking to get several people to log in to one desktop simulteniously, using it for an office so that way we can access a specific program, can this hack do that or am I crazy? Looking to do this as an alternative to a server, tried a WAN and VPN and the specific program will not work through that method, short of buying duplicate machines and remote logging in through citrix or logmein. Please let me know. Thanks!

Does anybody now how to stop a session started at the console using remote desktop?
I am using a version of remote desktop that comes with the windows 2003 cd. It controls the console session.
May 30th, 2007 at 1:43 am
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.
I hope I have been of help.

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!

works perfectly for me, now i can remote desktop to my computer without pissing off my girlfriend by kicking her off haha. thanks a bunch!
September 6th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
it worked for me, you just need to log off or disconnect once your done with the session, don’t just close the session it will leave you connected from the server.
September 6th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
you can actually see who’s logged in to the host computer using TASK MANAGER on USER TAB. You can even logoff or disconnect the remote client, or even send the client a message. cool stuff
September 19th, 2007 at 6:25 am
I did this, am having trouble now with remote desktop, I didn’t have any dllcache folder, but that was the only difference between my setup and the one listed here. i can login more then noce, but it locks all sessions when I do this.

September 20th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
At first, I thought it had failed. But I tried to copy the termserv.dll directly to the system32 folder and start the terminal services. Now it is working like a charm. 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.
September 21st, 2007 at 6:59 am
Ken, the dllcache folder is hidden. If you type it into the address bar manually then Windows will show it.
September 21st, 2007 at 7:49 am
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).

ThinServer works quite well too and it fits into Windows Domain environment
www.aikotech.com/thinserver.htm
October 4th, 2007 at 7:43 am
I followed the directions exactly, double-checked my work, but when I log in using RD from another XP Pro desktop in my LAN the host machine logs off still. Fast User Switching was already enabled and I too had to manually copy the dll from the cache to System32. The host is running MCE2005, fully updated. Have there been changes to this OS that are blocking this patch since your article was written?
Incidentally, for a variation on this there’s a post at:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/172294-46-windows
by someone named “Brian”. I tried his additional GPEdit changes but that still didn’t change the host’s behavior.
Any suggestions?

I obey the steps. I restart the laptop and start the terminal services but then I cannot make remote desktop connetion to this laptop. It gives “protocol error”. No one can connect to this laptop even only one user. I copied this new dll under the system32 too. the error is
“Because of a protocol error detected at client, this session will be disconnected”
Restarting was tried for several times. Also Before making all the steps in this wep page I connected to this laptop from my pc for several times. There was no protocol error.

Hi Paul,
You need to click on Disk Drives under the Local Resources tab of your Remote Desktop client software
You will then see your local drives appearing on your remote server !

But I need one System A to work on that System XYZ and System B also to connect @ same time and just view What system A is doing ? How to do this. Please help. Thanks
December 6th, 2007 at 11:17 am
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.

Please give us the configration that could work on VISTA OS.
Sam
December 21st, 2007 at 11:32 pm
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.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:46 pm
One more addition. Other changes to policy and registry mentioned above are needed. I was only talking about replacing DLL remotely.
December 25th, 2007 at 5:12 am
Where is this hack supposed to be done, is it on the local computer or on the remote computer?
Also, does it work with RDC6 (Terminal Services Client 6.0) KB925876 ? Just updated my client PC to that version
December 25th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
Yes, it’s supposed to be installed on the server ( the pc acting as the remote desktop server )
Should be able to work on RDC6 cos RDC6 is compatible to RDP5
If you having trouble, u can try some commercial software

December 27th, 2007 at 2:29 am
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.
December 28th, 2007 at 2:46 pm

Hey guys this does work and the instructions need some attention. But overall I wanted to let you guys know I have used a hack for unlimited connections for remote desktop that actually allows you to have more than lets say 10 connections simultaneously while logged into the same PC. I have it setup on a dev box that a group of developers hit from india. Unfortunately I need it again and my firefox blew out my favorites. When I find it Ill post the link.

Hi, I followed the instruction carefully, but I am having troubles most of the time … especially if local(other account) has already logged on to the system before I start remote desktop from other pc.
I can see desktop background (using LAN connection) then remote desktop window will close automatically. If I keep on trying it will ask to log off the current user (the one already logged on) so I can remote desktop into my pc …the same way as if I were using regular/original termsrv.dll
Any suggestions?
February 20th, 2008 at 5:06 am
I’ve made the install correctly and all worked (I was able to have two remote clients connected successfully,1 windows and 1 linux).

I have seen this working on a xp sp2 x86 but now I want to use this on a XP SP2 X64, I don’t have a file named terms.dll in the dllcache folder, what can I do?
I’ve seen others ask this question but no-one answered them…

Smarty,
I know a lot of people is looking for 64 bit version (including myself). I will let u know once I found it
M2008,
All of these is based on the patch concept. I supposed u think Xpunlimited is also a hack !!! I doubt ThinServer is using the same hacked dll. The hacked dll does not resume disconnected state and also is not stable unlike ThinServer
Arie-Lex,
Thanks for the link

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!

It works fine with XP SP2 but it stopped working when I installed Service pack 3.
Do you have any experience with SP3?

Unfortunately this seems to be broken in Windows XP SP SP3. If anyone knows of a fix, please post. Thanks!

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.
Your the MAN!!!

Hey Anon… can you post a link to that dll?
May 10th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
The information is for you to modify the dll by yourself. The mod dll is not available anywhere as far as I know.
