Enable Multiple Concurrent Remote Desktop Get latest updates in email for
Connections or Sessions in Windows XP free: Go

Windows XP Professional and Windows XP

Media Center Edition (MCE) has Remote
Desktop (RDP) service that allows the computer
to be remotely connected, accessed and
controlled from another computer or host.
However, Windows XP machine only allows one
concurrent remote desktop connection from a
single user been connected to it with no multiple
remote desktop sessions or connections support.

Whenever there is a remote user who user

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client to
connect to a Windows XP host, the local user is
disconnected with the local console screen
locked, with or without his or her permission.
Remote Desktop, unlike Terminal Server
Services in Windows 2000, Server 2003 and Server 2008, is designed for single user use only, no
matter it’s local or remote user.

Here’s a hack to unlock the single user limitation and enable multiple concurrent remote desktop
connection sessions support in Windows XP Professional and Media Center Edition, using a either a
patched termserv.dll or old patched cracked termserv.dll build version version 5.1.2600.2055, so that
unlimited users can simultaneously connect to a computer via Remote Desktop.

1. Download a copy of patched termsrv.dll (in ZIP file) which has the Remote Desktop connection
limitation deactivated for your version of Windows XP:

Windows XP RTM, SP1 and SP2: termsrv.dll (version 5.1.2600.2055)

Windows XP SP2: termsrv.dll (version 5.1.2600.2180)
Windows XP SP3: termsrv.dll (version 5.1.2600.5512)

For information, the termsrv.dll patch normally has the following HEX code bits overwritten with
following value:

00022A17: 74 75
00022A69: 7F 90
00022A6A: 16 90

3. Go to %windir%\System32 and make a backup copy (or rename) the termsrv.dll.

4. Rename or delete the termserv.dll in the %windir%\System32\dllcache folder.

7. Click on Start Menu -> Run command and type gpedit.msc, follow by Enter to open up the

8. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components Free Download
-> Terminal Services.

9. Enable Limit Number of Connections and set the number of connections to 3 (or more). The
setting allows more than one users to use the computer and logged on at the same time.

10. Ensure the Remote Desktop is enabled in System Properties’ Remote tab by selecting the radio
button for Allow users to connect remotely to this computer.

11. Enable and turn on Fast User Switching in Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the
way users log on or off.

12. Restart the computer normally.

Note that if you cannot replace or overwrite termserv.dll with access denied or file in use error, turn off
the “Termine Services” in “Services” control panel of “Administrator Tools”. Besides, each connecting
physical connections must have their own user account in the target host, and must authenticate with
corresponding own user name and password credential.

To uninstall and revert back to original termsrv.dll, simply delete the patched version, and rename the
backup copy back to “termsrv.dll”. You probably have to do it in Safe Mode if the Terminal Services is
enabled and running.

If the Windows XP computer is connected to a domain on local networks, Windows will set the value of
the regkey “AllowMultipleTSSessions” to “0” every time the computer is restarted. To ensure that
multiple or unlimited Remote Desktop connection sessions is allowed in AD domain environment, the
value data for “AllowMultipleTSSessions” has to be set to “1” on each system startup. To change the
value, simply rerun the ts_multiple_sessions.bat every time the computer is started. Alternatively, put
the ts_multiple_sessions.bat at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup folder so that it will be automatically run on first user with administrative
privileges that logs on to the desktop. Another workaround is to install additional service or define a sub-
key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry
branch that run the registry batch file automatically on boot up, and this is useful if the computer won’t
be logged on by anybody, but still requires the hack to allow unlimited Remote Desktop users to work.

Another issue is that if user closes the remote connection instead of logging off, when he or she tries to
log back in, an error message related to TCP/IP event ID 4226 may occur. To resolve the issue,
download and apply the Windows XP TCP/IP connection limit and Event ID 4226 patch, and set the
connections to at least 50.

If you are using a Domain, my recommendation is to use Task Scheduler to run
the batch file. On the Task tab, make sure "Run only if logged on" is not checked,
and set Run As to SYSTEM. Then on the Schedule tab, under Schedule Task
select "At Logon". This will run the batch file under the SYSTEM account anytime
a user logs in, which allows it to run without the first user needing to be an
Administrator.

Hello,

Maybe someone can help me out. I have Windows XP Home on a domain. I

managed to convert it to XP Pro. Managed to make contact via Remote Desktop.
Managed to replace .dll&#039s, changed the registry as mentioned above and
mentioned by Navy and Tristan (double checked). However, I can still only use 1
session. The other session is logged off.

Any ideas what I&#039ve done wrong?

I have tried every possible combination so far, and it works like a charm. My
2scenarios are:

- XP Clients SP3 vs 2003 Domain Controller

- XP Clients SP3 vs 2008 Domain Controller

They both require you replace the dll even tough you can&#039t see it where it is
supposed to be.

User right assignments on both registry key and file that are required to complete
the patching task are also very important.

It will not work otherwise. I am leaving my email here so feel free to contact me. I
