Simulate 2003 Remote Multi-User Login with XP SP2

Remote Desktop also needs multi-user work

Scene Reproduction:

There are some “rich people” in the 348 dormitory on the 5th floor. Each student has a computer and is rich. A computer that opens a remote desktop for everyone to use.

Windows XP Remote Desktop has many convenient places. Students can remotely control this computer in the field or at home. It is easy to manage and troubleshoot remotely. But the trouble has come: every student has the right to modify the system (everyone is equal), once, after Ama logs in, transfer files and other operations, then the fat suddenly clicked, Ama was forced to cancel! All file transfer work is banned! Not only that, if Ama logs in and encounters problems, I hope that other people can log in and work together to solve the problem, because Remote Desktop only allows one user to log in.

It's a shame that Remote Desktop only allows one user to log in. Suppose there are two computers, COMPANYX and COMPANY-XP2 (this computer has SP2 installed). Now connect to COMPANY-XP2 from COMPANYX via Remote Desktop, so run "mstsc" on COMPANYX and enter the name of the remote computer. And login user name and password (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

Click "Connect", the COMPANY-XP2 Remote Desktop window appears on COMPANYX, and it is indicated that another user usery has been logged in on the COMPANY-XP2 computer. If you continue to log in to COMPANY-XP2, its current logged in user usery will be forcibly logged out (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

Click "Yes" in Figure 2. The COMPANYX remote desktop program forcibly logs out the usery user currently logged in on COMPANY-XP2, so that the COMPANY-XP2 computer returns to the login welcome screen. At the same time, the Remote Desktop window of COMPANYX displays the COMPANY-XP2 desktop. At this time, on COMPANY-XP2, regardless of which user identity (such as abc or usery) is used to log in, COMPANY-XP2 will forcibly log off the remote login user abc, causing the remote connection to be interrupted—that is, whenever remotely Only one user can log in to the desktop!

Solution

At the beginning of the year, SP2, which was rumored on the Internet, would support multiple users to establish a remote desktop connection at the same time. It was really happy for a while. When the official version of SP2 comes out, I will try SP2's remote desktop multi-user support, but I can't let two users log in at the same time anyway - whether it is logging in two remote desktop connections at the same time, or a remote desktop or a local desktop. Whether it's using the same username or using a different username, it won't work!
What is going on? Check out Microsoft's documentation for SP2 and don't see any instructions for remote desktop multi-user support. The search network, the introduction of multi-user support is the information at the beginning of the year, and recently such articles seem to have disappeared. So, is it that Microsoft originally intended to allow SP2 to support multiple users to connect to the remote desktop at the same time, and later canceled it? In order to clarify this problem, I replaced the SP2 official version of the terminal server with the SP2 test version of the terminal server on the SP2 computer. Sure enough, two connections were successfully established at the same time. The following describes the specific implementation steps.
