I'm trying to allow multiple XP Pro users concurrent use of my XP
Pro remote desktop. Whenever someone tries to logon, it logs out
the other. This works with Terminal Services and Win2000.
Shouldn't it work with Remote Desktop too? What am I missing?

Although Windows XP is a Multi-User Operating System, only ONE user
at a time is allowed interactive use of it - remote or local.
There are "ways" around this:

But you are using code from a beta version of service pack 2.
Thanks, Shenan! Very helpful. I assume when you say "using code
from a beta version of SP2", you're talking about the replacement
termserv.zip file.

The contents of that zip file, yes.
Unfortunately, it didn't work!!! :^(
The process definitely works.
Confirmation:
You disable the two services and rebooted..
You copied the dll file to both locations (system32 and dllcache)..
You reset the two services to enabled/automatic.
You edited the proper policy ("Limit number of connections") to a number
higher than 1.
You rebooted.
You logged onto the system as one user.
You then remoted into the machine as A DIFFERENT user.
Depending on the number you put in for the limit, you can also remote in as
ANOTHER user..
One key is the group policy.. Another is that every user that logs in
remotely must have a unique userid.
