Enable multi user concurrent logon for xp 64 bit

Hi Everyone,
After using this site to logon to windows xp 32 bit with one person at the computer and up to 2 other people using remote desktop to use 1 really powerful computer's resources at the same time, I tried to do this with xp-64 bit. This was a little more involved.

Step 1.
Disable remote desktop.
From My Computer>Properties>Remote (uncheck both boxes). Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services and double click on Terminal Services and change the startup type to disabled.

Step 2.
Get files.


Get the files here Antiwpa-V3.4.6 for X64 and X86.zip (source) TS-NoRestr-Patch-x64.rar (source). If the links don't work the sources will, the site is AntiWPA and you need to register to download the files.

Extract the zip file to a new folder and run AntiWPA3.cmd (just double click) it will apply the patch.

Extract the rar to a new folder (single word no spaces [I used "new"] c:\windows\new) in c:\windows double click the TSfix.reg file and click ok.

Step 3.
Get the windows XP 64 bit disk and reboot from disk. Then go to the recovery console and type 1 for C:\WINDOWS

code:
cd system32
copy winlogon.exe winlogon.exe_backup
cd ..
cd new
copy winlogon.exe c:\windows\system32
y
exit

Step 4.
When the computer reboots reboot in safemode by hitting F8 at the right time.
Go to regular safemode.

Log in to an administrator and make sure that terminal services are still off as set in step 1.

make a backup of c:\windows\system32\termsrv.dll and c:\windows\system32\dllcache\termsrv.dll (dllcache is a hidden folder)

replace those two files with the termsrv.dll from the rar (which has been extracted to c:\windows\new)

'Click Start, then “Run…”, type “gpedit.msc” (without quotes) and press ENTER;
open Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services;
double click “Limit number of connections”, choose “Enabled” and set the maximum number of concurrent connections you want to allow' (source) (I chose 3).

reboot to normal.

Step 5.
Log on to the normal windows XP 64 bit and enable the remote desktop similar to step 1 and switch the Terminal Services to manual also similar to step1.

Reboot

Step 6.
Try it out, you should be able to have multiple logins using remote desktop to the same system without kicking each other off.
I tried one user logged in at the computer and two users with remote desktops.

Leave some comments if it works, or if you have problems, I might edit the post accordingly.

hello Ave.
I saw the exposed thing in the page
http://www.raneri.it/blog/eng/index.php/2006/04/24/windows-xp-multiuser-remote-desktop/#comment-37796
and in this one.
I am going it to try and later I tell you. If it works it will be very good

fernando said...

Hello Abe:

The method work very well.
Thank you very much, you saved many headaches to me

Lindsay & Justin said...

Does it matter what service pack you are on for this to work? I'm on SP2 currently.

Abe said...

I'm not sure, but I have SP2 as well.

Unknown said...

worked like a CHAMP.
note the following - i had to reenable the map in the windows firewall to allow the traffic through. while it was enabled before this, for some reason it was disabled afterwards.

Unknown said...

oh - and no need to use the recovery console. all the file renaming and copying the isntructions state to do through recovery, can all be done from safe-mode.

Unknown said...

one last thing - if you want to only allow a single login per user account, instead of multiple independent sessions from the same user, then do this:

while your poking around in "gpedit.msc" and are looking at "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services," also change "Restrict Terminal Services users to a single remote session" to ENABLED

Unknown said...

Finally!! I loaded the .reg then booted from a Linux CD to replace the winlogon and dll files.. works great! Thanks!

Unknown said...

I followed all the instructions on this to get multiple connections to work on XP 64 Bit OS (on a domain) however it was still only allowing 1 concurrent connection on the network.

Then i found the following: http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2008/12/19/windows-xp-x64-terminal-server-patch-part-1-mandatory/
and after reading this i modified the following registry entry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
AllowMultipleTSSessions=1

And it works !! :)

AVG says that antiwpa.dll is spyware - HackTool.GEC
Why harming us?

Unknown said...

very nice tutorial, I'm still having trouble logging in. When I goto remote from a different computer, it gives me the error "This computer cannot connect to the remote computer".

Even though it is able to see the computer when I goto browse. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Abe said...

Jeff: could you provide more info; did you follow step 5? and re-enable the remote desktop? Is a firewall set?
The reason I wrote this post is because I could log on but it knocked the other RDP users off, do whatever you did to originally get RDP working, I don't think it should change that.
Let me know,

Unknown said...

@Abe - I completed step 5

I feel really stupid now.. I disabled the firewall and was able to connect. I looked at the firewall exceptions an remote desktop wasn't checked. After adding that, it works. Thanks for the awesome tutorial.

-Jeff

I have followed the instructions and it installed on win XP x64 perfectly thanks. However I have a very strange issue! Whenever a user logs in all existing logged in users lose their forwarded printers and they have to disconnect and then connect again to re-forward their printers. Could anyone please help?! I urgently need to find a solution to this. Thanks a lot.

I have exactly the same problem! Can anyone help please... or even point us to the right direction.

Many Thanks

Harry

Abe said...

Harry and Anon:
Try this, I have always had luck by entering the printer by IP address, have all of the users do the same thing and see if this helps.

http://uis.georgetown.edu/software/documentation/winxp/winxp.network.printer.html

Unknown said...

Abe, thanks for the reply but all users are connecting from a remote location with a local printer plugged to their terminal. The actual Win XP x64 system is not connected to a printer or a network, just an internet connection. Anyway this issue only affects redirected printers and not printer local to the x64 system i.e. none of the installed printers disappear only the redirected ones. Thanks.

Sick is right. It's needed to enable the Remote Desktop in Windows Firewall again. Since when the remote desktop is first disabled in the process, it is automatically disabled in the firewall.
Great post. Thanks all.

a couple of reboots fixed it.
