Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions On Vista SP2 x86 & x64

June 22nd, 2009 18 comments

I have a home brew home theater PC running Windows Vista Ultimate x64.  It’s connected to my 40″ Samsung in the living room and pretty much runs Windows Media Center all the time.

Every now and then, I have the need to remote into this box from another computer in the house or from a computer remotely when traveling.  I like to do so without disrupting those who may be watching TV at the time.  I had been using a fix that I found here.  However, when I installed service pack 2, my little multiple remote desktop session patch stopped working.  I dug around and found this site, which claimed to have the fix but didn’t work.  After reading a bit, I replaced the termsrv.dll from AndrewBlock.net and replaced it with the termsrv.dll from RapidShare.  I ran the script and VOILA!

This is working for me on Vista x64 with SP2.  Hope this comes in handy for another.
