RDP into a W2k Workstation

[rodommoc]

I have a client that wants to run RDP session or multiple sessions to a Windows 2000 Workstation. I know it can be done by Hyena, PcAnywhere, & VNC. These solutions would require them to install a server and a client. A couple of years ago I thought I saw some hacks that would allow RDP session, possibly multiple RDP sessions, on Windows 2000 Workstation.

Thanks

I found this on google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/n3td3v/brow...903a22cec3ca884

"If you do not respect legal issues and have a Windows 2000 Server

installation CD, you can use utils such as NTSwitch to switch W2K Pro to

Server, upgrade it with installation CD in unattended mode, install a

terminal services then switch back to W2K Pro. Terminal will continue

working even on Pro mode, and you will have a 2 administrative remote

sessions (exactly as in Server)."

zen69x and I worked on it a couple of years ago. I gave up trying because I didn't have the time but he kept plugging away and this thread is where he announced that he finally got it working in full:

I would forward the email he sent me but I'd have to dig around to find it.

The thread @ Ars may be all you need assuming he hasn't refined the process further:

I haven't touched the project since that time so I'm not sure if any recent updates will invalidate the process or not.

Hope the above is helpful to you.

Im always surprised that so many people have no clue about its existence and capabilities

Im using it to remotely use my W2K main box from a PocketPC phone (and 'regular' computers) on a daily basis almost

I have, that's why I go few extra steps (Nlite and beyond) to kill it and its driver(s).

Otherwise, it's quite capable of slowing down one's computer (but mostly not too much).

Just kidding. Who needs it, will use it.
