Awesome - Remote Desktop Multiple Users with XP
So I was perusing the Tom's Hardware forum and stumbled upon this REALLY cool hack that I have to share. Typically with Windows XP Pro you can only have one user using a system at any given time either remotely or locally. To get around this Microsoft would have you believe that you NEED Windows Server 2003 AND the associated Terminal Server licenses.
Parden my French, but fuck that.
If you're working with multiplte people that will need access to your system remotely AND/OR locally follow these steps (thanks again to http://forumz.tomshardware.com/)
Enabling Windows XP for multiple remote users:
1.) Enable fast switching in the Control Panel
2.) Remove Domain name from computer,
3.) Make a temporary user with full adminstrator access & password, (won't work otherwise! *you can delete it after and make your own unique username/password*)
4.) start>run>gpedit.msc, Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services and double click Limit number of connections ( set to something like 3 and presto! Remote and local access working concurrently!
Not sure if this works but it sounds promising.
