Increase the number of remote desktop connections

Friday November 4, 2005

There is a cool hack you can perform on Windows XP that allows you to have up to three users connected via remote desktop to one machine. Stock non-server OS’s from Microsoft usually only allow you to have one RDP connection to a box. The hack includes editing some registry files and replacing a terminal services DLL with a beta version. However, there is a nifty installer that works great with a simple double click, and can even be uninstalled via add-remove programs. It’s here:

Terminal Server Patch

Doesn’t work if you’re part of a domain, and you need to have fast user switching turned on.

  1. How about Increasing the limit of Remote Desktop users on Windows Server 2003, without the need of a Terminal Server and Terminal Licensing.

    Any help there?
