Re: Terminal Service

We have Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2. Since Windows XP only
allows one person to login through Terminal Services, is there a way to
allow multiple users to login through Terminal Services? Thanks.

The short, Bill-Approved, answer:

No. WinXP Pro is a "workstation" OS, not a "server" OS. You need a Windows
OS with "Server" in it's name for multiple, concurrent, RD/TS sessions.
(Even though the line between "workstation" and "server" is very blurred
these days.)

The long, Bill-Feather-Ruffling, answer:

Yes. It can be done. I've done it a while back. You were competent enough
to find usenet (even if you are using the stupid MS web portal), so I'm sure
you are competent enough to find the answer. Strong hint: include
"termserv.dll" in your google keywords. Other strong-hint keywords are
above.

Now watch as all the people that include "M-[BS]" in their signature get
their feathers ruffled...
