Hi all,

Procedure explained on this page didn’t work (can’t find Terminal Service in Group Policy Editor…)

On the other hand, method mentionned by Brendan (with Termiserv_XPSP2-SP3_i386_2.1.zip patch) works like a charm.

Good luck.

This did not work for me as the termsrv.dll file is not available when I tried to download it so i used one I had from another website. I have tried 3 different version of this hack from different places and none of them work. All very similar, hack registry, hack gpedit, replace custom termsrv.dll with custom termsrv.dll. I am doing this on virtual XP SP2 and I can remote log in before I do the hack afterwards I can not even log into one session, this hack does not work like all the others have tried.

Has someone tested this with a computer which is part of a Samba-Domain?..

Tried this trick and failed — if console session let’s say User1 logged on, I’m connection via RDP to patched PC (XP SP3) with the same User1 credentials — the RDP session hangs for a minute then disconnects…

Mine is and for me this doesn’t work, even with Termiserv_XPSP2-SP3_i386_2.1.zip I can’t get it to work. Tested it with a VMware copy and it worked…

Could someone approve that?

Running XP MCE SP2 it used to work. However since SP3 and other patches were installed it stopped working.

I ran the Termiserv_XPSP2-SP3_i386_2.1.zip patch that was mentioned earlier and it worked perfectly. The site was

i have a problem with step, successfully added dword key and set it to ‘1′, later in
Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor
Browse to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows 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!!!

Hello Jason,

Thanks for this information.. It was indeed a big achievement. However, I was wondering if there was something like this that could be done for Windows 7. Please let me know as I am using Windows7 and would like to have this on my machine..

Thanks

Armado
