You should only use this dll on WIN XP SP2. (Not the 64-bit version).

One thing I am very annoyed about with SP2 is why they have added (in build 2055) and then taken away in the final Build (2180) Concurrent remote desktop and a physical user logged into the same machine....

So if you are now running the SP2 final, and would like too use this feature. Here is what you must do..

Attached is a zip with 4 files

1. termsrv.dll  - a cracked dll with no concurrent desktops limit.

2. Install.bat  - an install script for the dll

3. enable Concurrent Remote sessions SP2.bat – a registry changing code.

4. uninstall.bat – if you want to cancel the changes – run this script.

Ok, so here what to do

1. Download this.

2. Extract the zip...

3. Double click on Install.bat.

4. Reboot.

That is all, you are set to go!

If you get this screen:

Don’t worry – it is ok – it is a windows warning because you are replacing a system dll.

I can’t believe MS removed this feature from the final build of SP2

The termserv here is the same as the one that comes with the final version of SP2 but there is no limit to the number of concurrent remote desktops you can have.

Limitations:

1. Every user on the computer can have only one concurrent desktop at a time – you can’t login twice with the same user name.
2.  You have to have fast user switching turned on.  
3. If you are using a domain on your computer (usually companies uses domains on local networks) – you need to run the “enable Concurrent Remote sessions SP2.bat” every time you restart the computer because some registry values that are needed change every boot. You can put the file in the path “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup” and then the first user that will log on will run the script. The script will change the registry only for a user with “administrator” privileges. So if you don’t want to give administrator privileges to all the users on the computer – you can use the “Windows Task Scheduler” and schedule a login task.

More info about the “Windows Task Scheduler” can be found here:

"termsrv.dll" is not the original file from SP2, it is a patched file and I don’t know how legal is it to use is – but I think it will be very hard to catch you – you don’t really install a software, only a dll, and you only “unlock” a hidden property of windows xp.
