~*McoreD*~ Here's some other nfo that might help with da quest for Concurrent Sessions In Xpsp2... 2096 that is.
Microsoft removed the functionality from the new termsrv.dll in build 2082, but it can be regained by replacing the new termsrv.dll with the one fromm build 2055.
Another note: it wasn't really necessary to reinstall Windows XP. The trick still works if you install SP2 over SP1. Just be sure to have Fast User Switching and the Welcome Screen enabled
by using gpedit.msc and navigating through to Terminal Services, you can increase the number of users allowed to be connected by using this method.
ripped>>>>
You can enable more than 2 simultaneous log-ins by running gpedit.msc and going to: Computer config./admin. templates/windows components/terminal services and enabling the setting: Limit number of connections, then entering values in there.
A digested, simplified procedure that WORKS on SP2.2082-
Make the registry changes Make the policy changes. Copy the termsrv.dll from here:
[hide]/http://members.lycos.nl/nessyh/files/term/termsrv.dll[/hide]
(2055) to somewhere convienient.
Shut down.
Boot to a Recovery Console/ or ERD Commander 2002/2003 (any Alternate OS with Disk writes will do)
delete c:\windows\system32\dllcache\termsrv.dll
Rename c:\windows\system32\termsrv.dll to "Termsrv.dll.2082" (or something else you can find later if you want to back out)
copy the termsrv.dll (from 2055) to the system32 directory
Reboot into your XP and enjoy your mini-terminal server (note: each user session must be a different local user on the PC.)
Yo, don't worry about it
things have not changed in
2096 in regard to the Terminal Server (at least not that I have seen.) I was hoping Microsoft would loosen up and outright ALLOW us to have multiple sessions, or the two remote ones that 2000 would get for remote administration but no. Use the same procedure anyway: it works. Still a max of 3 active sessions though, remote or local. I've been considering searching through winlogon.exe for all instances of '3' *with a hex editor that is.
just some bit's and pieces found from around da way...
