HOW TO- Create Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions in Windows XP SP2

By default windows Xp OS doesn't allow multiple session or concurrent session at a point of time. During earlier release of SP2 (build -2055) Microsoft add this feature in to windows XP but later on in final release they again remote concurrent remote session feture due EULA.
Note :EULA (End User License Agreement) allows only a single user to use a computer at a time.


So by that DLL file bulid 2055 we are going add this feature to windows xp

(TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, You will have to have strong knowledge of the Windows operating system and Registry.)

1. Here is a copy of the Terminal Services DLL - Save it to your Desktop or other suitable location

2. Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services
a) 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"
b) Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, find and disable terminal service.

3. This is necessary to remove Windows File Protection

4. Reboot into Safe Mode

5. Copy the new termserv.dll to %windir%\System32 and %windir%\ServicePackFiles\i386. If the second folder doesn't exist, don't copy it there. Delete termserv.dll from the dllcache folder: %windir%\system32\dllcache or make a backup some where.


6. 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
