   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?

   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.

   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!

   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.

   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.

    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.

    Thanks

    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.

    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.

    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?
34. 
    Andrew
    2452 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

    Hamish
    2426 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.

    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.

    Daryl
    2406 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.

    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.

    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.

    Re: console login

    Create a shortcut to the following

    This runs remote desktop and connects to the console.

    To do CTRL-ALT-DEL use CTRL-ALT-END instead.

    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.

    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?)

    2351 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.

    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?

     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.

     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!

     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.

     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).

     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.

     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.

     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.

     Just FYI for the xp home guys…

     http://www.thinsoftinc.com/

     Winconnect Server XP allows home edition to be a term server. It also allows Pro to work. Awesome program, if anyone wants to check it out!

     There is another utility supposed to enable RDP access on XP Home. You can try if it works

     Couple with ThinServer XP, it is still much cheaper than Winconnect

     Hi, is there a way to do a RDP session and have the other person watch what you are doing. The same as what VNC does?
     2ndly, how can you use RDP WEB without install IIS on a XP machine. There is a windows 2003 server install with many xppor clients.

     Hope someone knows the answer.

     Fly, Remote Assistance works like VNC but it’s kind of a hassle to get connected. Although, it does requires Windows Messenger to work.

     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?

     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

     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!!!

     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’

     I also had trouble getting more than 1 connection started after following the original instructions above. I have XP Pro with SP3. I found that there are several 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)

     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 or remove the network card from the old computer. By the way, my network card is built in and cannot be removed!!

     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 ?

     HELP

     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!!!

     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.

     I’ve followed all the steps as described.

     There was no termsrv.dll in dllcache, so I replaced the one in System32 (as mentioned by other posters).

     I’ve rebooted and checked the version and it is still the replaced one (…2055).

     However, I still get the same response that I got before I made any changes. i.e. I’m limited to a single user.

     Any suggestions?

     You must note two things:

     1. After deleting the termsrv.dll from C:\Windows\system32 you must put the new one.

     2. You must use the Fast User Switching

     If you don’t pay attention to this the hack won’t work.

     I have 2 SP3 pc’s and it worked fine on one pc and it did not work the other pc. But try again…make a system restore to the day before you changed the setting and try again.

     I my case there was no termsrv.dll in the dllcache folder, so I put the new dll file in the systel32 folder AND the dllcachefolder. If not, i had a 126 error.

     Now i am testing on the the 3th SP3 Xp computer…we will see.

     I am using xp2 on a intel celeron laptop.
     my query is,the above mentioned hack says,

     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,

     But i have read another article on
     http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t15961.html.

     kindly read the hack given on the above url,
     http://www.golod.com/2005/10/enabling-multiple-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-xp-professional-and-media-center-edition-2005/“.

     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 and 22 internet cafe`s.

     Kindly help me,also guide me if i am going wrong in doing the configurations.

I am looking to have 2 computer cash registers run at the same time using a host computers drive that has all the inventory and program so both remotes need to be able to access and run the same program from the host at the same time without logging one or the other of.

     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.

     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.

     # 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

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

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