Now it’s time for some Windows action. In this blog, we will discuss how we can “Enable multiple RDP sessions on Windows 2008 & 2012 R2″.
In my last blog, we discussed “Installing Oracle 11g on Cloud (EC2 instance RHEL/Centos 6.x) through command line“.
Whenever we do an installation of Windows host on AWS Cloud, by default we get 2 Administrative logins. But only 2 logins cannot be enough for a large enterprise, you will definitely need more than that.
So the question comes next is how to enable more administrative logins.
Let me give you a walk down of simple steps involved in enabling the same:
1) Go to Server Manager in the search option tab. Select Add Roles for installing the Remote Desktop Services Role.
2) After installing the role, reboot the instance for changes to take effect.
3) Now go to Administrative Tools à Remote Desktop Services à Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration
4) Locate “Restrict each user to a single session” and right click to find Properties.
5) Remove the tick from “Restrict each user to a single session” > Apply> OK.
6) Now select Connections RDP-Tcp & go to Properties.
7) In Properties, go to Network Adapter & specify the Maximum number of connections you would like to have e.g here I have taken the value as 10.
8) Go to Start > in the search/run box type regedit
Or Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTerminal Server.
Now, locate the fSingleSessionPerUser value > Set it to 0 (Multiple sessions allowed)
9) Start > in the search/run box type gpedit.msc
10) Navigate to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections
Locate the “Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session” setting.
11) Now go to Edit Policy Setting & set it to Disabled.

Note : Multiple RDP sessions will only work for a default trial period of 120 days but in case you want them for a longer period, you need to purchase licenses to support the same.

The goal of this project is to enable Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions on reduced functionality systems for home usage.
RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. Also this method is very strong against Windows Update.
This solution was inspired by Windows Product Policy Editor, big thanks to kost :)

Attention:
It's recommended to have original termsrv.dll file with the RDP Wrapper installation. If you have modified it before with other patchers, it may become unstable and crash in any moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download the installer or binaries?
In the GitHub Releases section.
Is it legal to use this application?
There is no definitive answer, see this discussion.
The installer tries to access the Internet, is it normal behaviour?
Yes, it works in online mode by default. You may disable it by removing
-o flag in the install.bat file.
What is online install mode?
Online install mode introduced in version 1.6.1. When you installing RDP Wrapper first time using this mode, it will download latest INI file from GitHub. See this discussion.
What is INI file and why we need it?
INI file was introduced in version 1.5. It stores system configuration for RDP Wrapper — general wrapping settings, binary patch codes, and per build specific data. When new
termsrv.dll build comes out, developer adds support for it by updating INI file in repository.
Config Tool reports version 1.5, but I installed higher version. What's the matter?
Beginning with version 1.5 the
rdpwrap.dll is not updated anymore, since all settings are stored in INI file. Deal with it.
Config Tool shows
[not supported] and RDP doesn't work. What can I do?
Make sure you're connected to the Internet and run
update.bat .
Update doesn't help, it still shows
[not supported] .
Visit issues section, and check whether your
termsrv.dll build is listed here. If you can't find such issue, create a new — specify your build version for adding to support.
Why
RDPCheck doesn't allow to change resolution and other settings?
Universal Termsrv.dll Patch Windows Server 2012 R2 Download IsoRDPCheck is a very simple application and only for testing purposes. You need to use Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe ) if you want to customize the settings. You can use 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.2 address for loopback connection.
