Hi,

I am using remote desktop connection to connect to a remote machine on our
LAN. How can we increase the number of concurrent remote connections to the
machine using remote desktop connection?

Best regards
 
By design you can have one Remote Desktop (RDP) connection to an XP Pro box
at a time.

Innately - Windows XP Professional (or supersets) only allow for one
concurrent connection - period, local and/or remote. At one time (BETA2 of
SP2) it was under consideration to change this. There are still
instructions out on the web on how to change a file or two and *hack* your
version of Windows XP to allow for this.

You are free to try this - but it is *not* supported by Microsoft (or anyone
really) in any way. The hack would allow you to log into the computer with
passworded accounts just like normal remote desktop - but you could still be
logged on locally (once) as well as logged on remotely as different user(s).
However - because it is a hack - any number of updates/situations could
automagically unhack the system - and the hack does concern replacing a file
that aids in remote control of your system with one from a now more than 1
and a half year old beta software version - which was originally removed
from the final release - not to mention that getting this file from any
reliable source (guaranteed reliable) is shakey at best.
 
At last an MVP with a brain that tells the honest truth just like it is!!!

I congradulate you!
 
So the rest of us don't have brains or tell the truth?

PS...Turn on your spell checker...
