Is there still no better way of doing this? Just want to make sure before I go ahead and replace it on my bro's computer. Rather not use a older version of a file if it isn't necessary.

What on earth are you talking about?

he is talking about the termsrv.dll version like 2550 or something like that used in a RC of XP SP2. If you replace this dll it will allow for a user to log on via Remote Desktop without loggin on the console user

and to answer the question.. no.. not unless you use like VNC or some variation of this sorta thing. The dll is fine though.. even though it is an older version.. it is only used for the one specific function and should not effect anything else on the computer

what about replacing the file via script that runs just after the splash screen disappears and windows logon appears?

I'm in Sydney(city1), computer is in Brisbane(city2).

I can only interact with the PC via Remote Desktop Connection.

I need a script that can delete/replace the file in the dllcache & system32

You know how chkdsk & partition magic & other tools can kick in before the windows logon process starts, how do you interact in that part of the boot process???

TIA

would someone please explain this to me a bit more

What is it that you are trying to acheive and what is it exactly that this file allows you to do, it sounds very interesting but I'm not sure exactly what it is you are talking about

Logging into a console sessions without locking the user out or something?

Go here to read more: http://sig9.com/node/110

Basically 2 users using the compuer at the same time

1 person sitting in front of the computer monitor doing stuff

AND

1 person connected remotely via remote desktop

Usually you can only have 1 person connected at a time;

1 person sitting in front of the computer monitor doing stuff

OR

1 person connected remotely via remote desktop

This is a std feature of Windows 2003, XP nealry had it introduced in SP2 but M$ decied not to do it

yes. XP Supports only 1 user logged and 'interactive' with the PC.

I would like to know if this thing is stable? Anyone had 'unpleasant issues" with it?

after much time installing xp sp2 brand new & updating it in a vmware session

this method in the sig9.com article works fine...

granted i haven't done much with it yet as i was purely just getting it to work.

the only problem will come when an update overrides the dll and you'll have to replace it again i'm guessing.

ok I've given it a read - from what I understand you have to have quick switching enabled, so this will not work in a domain environment as adding to a domain disables quick switching

How's that help the people at home who need to access the computer at the same time as different people?

Remote Desktop is no way is equal to Remote assistance, surely you know this........

Alright, thanks guys. I guess I'll stick with replacing the termsrv with the older file
