Does any Vista version allow multiple RDP sessions?

ubern00b · 19 Jan 2007 at 16:37

Been looking about for info on this and I am guessing the answer is no, but I have a requirement (the only one really) where I *need* multiple logins to my pc via RDP. Well i actually only need 1 local and 1 remote session concurrently. I can do this at the moment via a hack for XP, but want to upgrade to Vista but need to retain this feature. Anyone got any info on this?

ps: before you all ask, my mrs is at home a lot during the day and uses the PC, I sit on the pc from work via RDP all day, hence needing concurrent logins.

i would have thought it very unlikely, this reserved for server os. If they were going to do it for vista they would have done it for xp by now. I doubt there will be a leaked hack this time either.

XP supported 2 active RDP sessions so I guess Vista will be the same.

It doesn't. There was an SP2 beta that did but it didn't make it to the final release

Yup Zap is right, it was "trialed" in a SP2 termsrv.dll file which was removed in the final SP2 build, this is how its able to be enabled on XP, by using the earlier build of the dll, its certainly not a feature of XP. As far as I know MS will never put this into a client OS, which is why I wasnt very hopeful of it being in Vista, but it was worth asking. Thanks very much for the replys tho!
