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 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. 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 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 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.

Anyone know of how to get 4 - 11 connections simultaneously? Matthew Says: 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. Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: 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. Glenn M Dunn Says: April 6th, 2006 at 2:50 pm Great solution. Works just as expected! THANK YOU! Vchat20 Says: 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! freeman Says: 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? john Says: 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. Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: 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. Dexn Says: 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 paul Says: 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 Mr_Kill Says: 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 SelfMan Says: May 27th, 2006 at 11:44 am You should be carefull… The TerminalserverNoRestrPatch contains a trojan - Win32/Agent.JH Steve Says: 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 Hendra Says: 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. Mark Horton Says: 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 Horia Says: 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 Dz (1 comments.) Says: 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… Tamer Says: July 2nd, 2006 at 1:04 am I don’t have the “DLLcache Folder” either, what should I do? Mark Says: 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 Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: 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. Deni Says: 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. Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: July 13th, 2006 at 8:12 am Yes, if you have administrator priviledges. Chev Says: 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. Vijay Says: 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. almond_eyes Says: 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? khoadn Says: 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. almond_eyes Says: 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!! almond_eyes Says: 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!! AGP Says: 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 Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: August 10th, 2006 at 7:34 am AGP, MCE2005 is XP Pro…just with a fancy cover. KenCarnivorous Says: 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. Wayne Says: 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? Andrew Says: 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. Tobbe (1 comments.) Says: 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 Joe Says: 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? Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: August 28th, 2006 at 8:52 am That is why I use it Don Grybb (1 comments.) Says: 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 Sam Says: August 28th, 2006 at 12:32 pm Will this work with a XP Pro system that is a domain member, or Workgroup member only? john Says: August 29th, 2006 at 8:52 am will m$ sue my enterprise if i do this? China Says: August 30th, 2006 at 8:32 am Is it a requirement to have fast user switching enabled? Hamish Says: 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. Jeremy Says: 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. ED BAD Says: 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. Daryl Says: 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. reaper Says: 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鈥� by AntiWPA (dot) org (dot) ru ausidude Says: October 8th, 2006 at 5:13 pm Is any one know how to enable 4 - 11 connections simultaneously? David Says: 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. pratap Says: October 16th, 2006 at 1:41 am Let me try this … Jason Golod (108 comments.) Says: 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? TeraVilen Says: 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 Dan Says: 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? .Net Software Developer (1 comments.) Says: November 2nd, 2006 at 3:56 am Above article work perfectly with RDP services. please keep righting. Thank you, Jim http://www.tatvasoft.com Mark Says: November 2nd, 2006 at 7:39 am 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). mikaela6 Says: 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! Little Poppet (1 comments.) Says: 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鈥� 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 Kel_Sceptic Says: November 4th, 2006 at 12:54 pm Hope this will work for you guys like it worked for me. Flawless Victory ! P.S: i never keep my windows update ON. # Rob Eberhardt Says: April 25th, 2006 at 4:30 am There鈥檚 a MUCH easier way to do this. Try Sala鈥檚 Terminal Server patch: http://sala.pri.ee/?page_id=11 I鈥檝e done the manual way, but his patch makes it a cinch (single reboot). Lewis Says: 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. Efi Says: 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 john Says: November 12th, 2006 at 2:26 pm The link don’t work.

To do CTRL-ALT-DEL use CTRL-ALT-END instead. joe Says: 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 Drugs (2 comments.) Says: 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. Drugs (1 comments.) Says: November 16th, 2006 at 2:36 pm Well I just tried with termsrv.dll from Windows 2003 Server and it gives the same error 鈥淓rror 1314: A required priveledge is not held by the client.鈥� 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?) Alex Says: November 20th, 2006 at 1:02 pm do you know this software? http://www.xpunlimited.com The trial has 3 conn max for free! Cliff Says: 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.

Says: 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 Alienovski Says: April 12th, 2007 at 3:21 am 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.

Giepie Says: April 19th, 2007 at 6:43 am 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. Regards, Giepie Cory Says: April 29th, 2007 at 12:12 pm 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 ? Cory Says: 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 Phil Says: May 4th, 2007 at 12:31 am Works great with XP. Anybody tried this with Vista? Todd Says: May 10th, 2007 at 7:31 am It’s working, but I would like to remote into the same computer I’m remoting from - use one computer to create multiple concurrent sessions on that same computer. This would be helpful with my home theater setup. Any ideas how to resolve the local host issue? Maz Says: May 21st, 2007 at 10:26 am It worked for me but cannot use /console mode.

Says: May 24th, 2007 at 2:05 pm 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! andrew Says: May 29th, 2007 at 7:31 am 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. Justin Says: 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. Muhil Says: June 2nd, 2007 at 3:42 am Dude…no offense but the crack from the site www.kood.org works seemlessly fine without all these hassles.

(1 comments.) Says: August 25th, 2007 at 2:53 am 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.

You can even logoff or disconnect the remote client, or even send the client a message. cool stuff Ken Says: 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. any ideas? I’m running XP, 2.5ghz, 1.5gigs of ram. thanks, -Ken Wendra Says: 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. Brad Says: 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. Brad Says: 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).

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.

Incidentally, for a variation on this there’s a post at: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/172294-46-windows by someone named “Brian”.

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.
