I want use terminar service but xp terminal service just support 1 user at
a time, I have xp sp1

Help Me Please :(


Kind Regards,
Farzad Hayati.

Windows XP Professional supports only one Remote Desktop
session at the time.

Incidentally, after you have resolved this "urgent" issue, take
the time to set your computer clock properly. Either it is set
in the future, or else your time zone is wrong.
 
Thanks For Your Note about my pc local time! yes, that was wrong and I set
it again but is there any 3rd party program from microsoft or other software
providers that support more than one connection on win xp?

It's so important for me!


Kind Regards,
Farzad Hayati.
 
Yes there is a program its called PC anywhere by Symantec (the people who
made Norton).

My dad uses it in law

Hope that can help you

You could use WinVNC. It allows one remote user to co-exist
with the local console session on any Windows PC.

Why can't remote desktop log in one more user, I hear people say that
only
one user can only connect at one time. Is this true? If so, why would
Remote
Desktop help clearly state:

"Remote Desktop also allows more than one user to have active sessions
on a
single computer. This means that multiple users can leave their
applications
running and preserve the state of their Windows session even while
others
are logged on."

Fair point. However, you will find that user switching is not available
for RDP users. When someone starts an RDP session then the console
screen will show the account list but nothing else. You then have two
choices at the console:

- Log on as the RDP user. If you do then you will terminate his RDP session.
- Log on as a different user. If you do then you will also terminate his
RDP session.

I recommend you give it a try to see for yourself!
 
Doesn't SP2 allow you to have 1 Locally logged on user and 1 remote user
using the PC at the same time? I read somewhere around the release time of
SP2 that this was true, but haven't really found anything stating this
since.
 
You have 3 options.

1)Either use win2000 or win2003 that has terminal services for more than 1
person.

2)use winconnect server XP from this site
http://www.thinsoftinc.com/products_winconserver_info.html

3) You must have Windows XP sp2 and patch it with this free fix:
http://www.sala.pri.ee/#termiserv
(of course this is not supported by microsoft)

The beta 2055 release of XP PRO SP2 let you run two or more sessions (one
local console and one or more remote desktop) concurrently. But this
functionality was removed in the Final release. This patch will enable two
or more concurrent sessions in Windows XP PRO Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later
if you have FAST USER SWITCHING enabled, and your windows is NOT in a
domain.

Uninstaller is also included and can be found at windows Control Panel ->
Add or Remove Programs.

There is another option:

4) Install Virtual PC or VMWare and install virtual machine
with XP. Than you can remotely connect to virtual machine
using another RDP port
