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

For 99.9% of folks, the above steps will be exactly what they arelooking for. However, if you want to customize the abilities a bit,there are certain command strings you can run in addition. To do so,you will need to open a Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges(Start > Run > CMD > Right Click “Run As Administrator”). The other available options are:
| -? | Show this help |
| help | Save as -? |
| multi | Enable multiple sessions per user |
| blank | Enable remote log on for user accounts that are not password protected |
For example, if you wanted to Enable multiple sessions per user, you would follow these steps:
1. Launch a Command Prompt with Administrator priveleges (Start > CMD > Right Click > Run as Administrator)
2. At the C:\Windows\System32 prompt type “cd\Win7RDP”
3. You should now be at the prompt C:\Win7RDP>
4. At the prompt, type: install multi

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″

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?

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!

worst instructions ever. Doesn’t explain anything.
Is this expected to work with
Is this expected to work with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (which doesn’t support Remote Desktop to being with)? The reason I ask is because I installed this patch on my PC. Then I tried to use a second computer to connect to it. It seems to find the machine with any issue and understands the correct username/password. However, when the connection goes through, nothing happens. Reading Microsoft forums seems to suggest you have to enable Remote Desktop through the Remote Desktop options of the Control Panel. However, these options are not available in Home Premium because the feature doesn’t exist on this version of windows. Is this patch supposed to make those options available? Was anyone able to host remote desktop on Home Premium?
Thanks,
