JSI Tip 8428. How can I enable two Remote Desktop connections to Windows XP SP2?

NOTE: While this was valid during the beta, it has been removed in the released SP2.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 computers can support two Remote Desktop sessions simultaneously.

NOTE: If you have an open session on the desktop console, only one additional session is supported.

To enable concurrent sessions, run the following batch file:

@echo offsetlocalset key="HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTerminal ServerLicensing Core"@echo reg add %key% /v EnableConcurrentSessions /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /freg add %key% /v EnableConcurrentSessions /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /fendlocal
