Concurrent Terminal Services (RDP) sessions under Windows XP! #
Normally, Windows XP allows only a single remote login via RDP (which in turn requires the currently logged-in local user to be kicked off!). However, there are several methods to circumvent this restriction:
- Free (these are all essentially the same instructions, but each has a wealth of comments and user experiences):
- Fee:
- XP Unlimited turns your Windows System into a full blown Terminal Server, without any limit. Multiple, unlimited number of concurrent remote desktop sessions. Includes integrated web server for access via browser.
- WinConnect Server XP enables a Windows Small Business Server 2003 or Windows XP computer to allow up to 21 remote desktop sessions.
As always, use at your own risk (and joy). Before playing with any of these (particularly in a production environment) you may want to contact Microsoft regarding potential licensing issues.
