How to Enable Concurrent Sessions in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Beta

Jul 28 2010

Continuing MissingRemote's tradition of providing you guys the patches necessary to enable Concurrent Sessions, we've created a new thread for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. The process below has been confirmed working with the Beta versions of Windows7 Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium and Enterprise Editions, x86 & X64 build 7601, Service Pack Build 178.

One of the most popular articles ever at MissingRemote.com has been our guide on how to enable Concurrent Sessions for Windows Vista.For those unaware of what it is, enabling Concurrent Sessions allows you to Remote Desktop into a system that someone else is on, under a different user account, and access the system without kicking the user off. I, for example, use the feature to have MCE running on my Television, and then I remote into my main user account to access all my files without interrupting my MCE session. Special thanks to Mikinho for compiling the package below and making this all possible.

When I download this file windows tells me it is invalid, and empty. Thanks.

Same for me.

You will need to edit the install.cmd file to work for your version of windows.  I only had to change lines 2 and 4 and follow the instructions above and everything worked just fine. 

After putting in user/pass, it auto disconnects me.  Says Windows closed connection.

2xpost, sorry

I copied and installed the file but it ran into some errors and now I can't remote desktop into the system at all.  

RDP service throws an Error 126: The specific Module could not be found. 

This patch works fine for me, we just need to edit 2 lines

change 

line # 58 to "IF /I NOT "%CURRENTBUILD%" == %SET_CURRENTBUILD%  GOTO START"

 

and line # 61 to "IF /I NOT "%CSDBUILDNUMBER%" == %SET_CSDBUILDNUMBER%  GOTO START"

 

backup the files and create system restore point before using it 

I had been trying to get the Vista Home Premium hacks but the links seem to be dead or high jacked. Is the termsrv.dll and reg hacks available anywhere.

dmv_023, if you were attempting to use this with a later version of SP1, like the current public build 721, why not just change the "SET SET_CSDBUILDNUMBER" line up top?  I definitely don't see why currentbuild needed to be changed, since that's staying at 7601.

Will I be able to login ( as a different user than the one logged in directly) on to a Windows 7 system remotely using UltraVNC ?

Keeping my fingers crossed .....

Not working correctly for me. I can't log more than one user on at once Sad

I can confirm that W7-SP1-Beta-RDP.zip works with the full public release (not beta) of Windows 7 Pro 32bit with Service Pack 1 integrated. This was released by Microsoft today on their volume licence site.

Once again you need to edit the install.cmd script and change the appropriate build numbers and product name. I had to change the following lines:

SET SET_PRODUCTNAME="Windows 7 Professional"

SET SET_CSDBUILDNUMBER="1130"

 

It's working for HP Probook 4525s. But need to download another version which is not for the beta version.

 

Even though the script said it had patched successfully I had to manually copy across the termsrv.dll and it's now working fine on 7 Pro x64 SP1 general release.

Thanks!

I can confirm that the latest script work without any problems for both 32 and 64 - Swedish Win7 Home premium. Many thanks! Smile

to get it working (with remoteApp and all) I had to boot windows into safe mode and manually overwrite the termsrv.dll in System32 with the 32_termsrv.dll in W7-SP1-Beta-RDP.zip. (windows 7 ultimate x86 SP1)

Mine gets error:

 "Your operating system is not supported.

Only for Operating System Build 7601.

Press any key to continue..."

 

System Has Win 7 Pro 64  Build 6.1.7601

a2chris,

 

Go to the following registry entry.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

 

You should be able to find the exact build , csbuild and version of your windows that you need to change in the installer.

 

Will this require a reboot? have changed the product name to "Windows 7 Professional" and csb build to 1130 which matches my regedit..

 

the install.cmd seems to run through fine but multiple rdp didn't work.

 

Thanks

Ouch!  Changed the SET SET_CSDBUILDNUMBER="1130" to match the registry and the script runs OK.  However, the SP1 did not change over to allow multiple login.  Still asks to disconnect other user.

My current "winver" from Start is displaying:
Microsoft Windows
Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

Am I going to need to edit the SET WINVER=

A look at the registry . . .

Well, any subsequent runs just say that it is already patched, and if so, that patch is not working....

Very useful, I will do the same with my Windows for sure!

Ok, found the problem.  It is for repeat users, who may have patched with the original, before SP1.  In your system32 folder you will find a termsrv.dll.bak which is a copy of the original when you applied this once before.  Rename termsrv.dll.bak to termsrv.dll.org or anything else different than the .bak extension.  The script looks for it, I guess to determine if it was already patched.  This is why I got that when I ran the script.  After I renamed to .org, the script was run again and the patch applied itself and made a new termsrv.dll.bak of the SP1 version or termsrv.dll.  Tried multiple login and it works fine.  The only edit needed was the SET SET_CSDBUILDNUMBER=1130 one.

This solved the problem for me, thanks EddoAloha. I'm guessing we are running the beta version of this dll though?

How can I make my Win7 PC boot two sessions simultaneously?

One session for the person at the PC, the other session running a program on boot for the remote user.

I don't want to have to RDP into the second session to start the program everytime.

works great!!!! is this legal?

 

Thanks guys, you're amazing!

I'm not getting this up and running unfortunatly.

I have Window 7 Professional, SP1, 7601.

The install goes smooth and I get the loginscreen when I try to connect, but when I have written the password and confirmed I get a message saying that the connection was lost. 

In the event viewer I get the following errors, in this order but with the same timestamp:
The Cryptographic Services service terminated unexpectedly
The DNS Client service terminated unexpectedly
The Workstation service terminated unexpectedly
The Network Location Awareness service terminated unexpectedly
The Remote Desktop Services service terminated unexpectedly

If I manually restart the RD Service and try to connect again I get the exact same behavior, but now, naturally, only the DNS and RDS services crash since the other services are not running...

Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

I have tried to boot in safe mode to restore the termsrv.dll file, and everything works with the original file, but of course with the old "kick other user" behavior...

Edit: SOLVED

It worked properly after manually replacing the file in safe mode. Guess the copying done by the install file failed for some reason...

I also had to copy the termsrv.dll manually in safe mode to get this to work. Perfect now!
