Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

Location: Blogs Tony Chan's Blog
Posted by: Tony Chan	Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:07:17 GMT
A lots of my friends had been purchasing Vista lately and most of them selected the Home Premium edition with the missing Remote Desktop Connection server capability. Needless to say Remote Desktop had been very useful to us IT geeks. I currently have 5 computers in my home which I need to manage and the two of them running Windows Vista Home Premium including one running as our Media Centre had been my greatest headache. Initially they have a VNC server installed but I feel the performance of VNC running on both machine is poor compared with Remote Desktop. After lingering around TheGreenButton while I tried to reconfig my Media Centre from XP MCE to Vista Premium the crazy users at The Green Button had created a hack that would put Remote Desktop back to Vista Home Premium (I say back because Vista Home Premium should be the same as XP MCE) and what's more it even allows concurrent users! After a month or so testing I am happy to say the hack is in fact working perfectly with no side effect. Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium: Download termsvr.zip here Extract Termsvr.zip to a temp directory Start "Command Prompt" in Administrator mode (Run As Administrator) Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product. Done

Has anybody else tested this. I would love this feature but want to make sure that there are not side effects :)

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows vista Home Premium	By michel on Tue, 07 Aug 2007 16:35:25 GMT
works perfect for me! premium user. enables multiple rdp sessions!

Worked like a charm	By Oren Teich on Mon, 13 Aug 2007 02:34:49 GMT
Installed and all is well. I'm able to RDP from my Mac perfectly!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows vista Home Premium	By Sri on Tue, 14 Aug 2007 06:58:43 GMT
thanks for the gr8 solution..this worked on Vista Home Premium.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows vista Home Premium	By Gaz on Thu, 16 Aug 2007 18:21:36 GMT
Any chance of getting sound working across RDP - thats the real question ;)

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows vista Home Premium	By bob on Fri, 17 Aug 2007 00:37:11 GMT
Has anyone been able to remote desktop from outside the local lan? I can only remote desktop from within my local network.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows vista Home Premium	By Tony on Fri, 17 Aug 2007 09:38:21 GMT
Remember you need to forward port 3389 on your router to your PC for remote desktop to work outside your LAN.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Luis on Sat, 18 Aug 2007 16:31:11 GMT
sorry for the ignorance. How do I run that batch file for my Vista Home Premium??

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By David on Sun, 19 Aug 2007 20:26:31 GMT

I wasn't able to get this to work on my Home Premium 64bit. When I run the premium.txt batch file everything works until it tries to start terminal services:

The Terminal Services service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 193 has occurred.

*** is not a valid Win32 application
...
Service is not listening
Done

Any ideas? I desperately need this to work to control my media center properly.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By jc on Wed, 22 Aug 2007 03:37:23 GMT
To the poster above, you need the 64bit version of this driver. Also, since the driver is unlikely to be signed, you will have issues getting it installed.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Michael on Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:57:53 GMT
I just wanted to thank who ever came up with this registry fix. Vista and Microsoft are a complete joke.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By abedit on Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:06:30 GMT
Can't get it to work, even from inside the LAN. I even set the vista firewall to allow port 3389, assuming its the correct one. Turning off windows firewall didn't help either. Anything else I can try?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By abedit on Sun, 02 Sep 2007 02:22:53 GMT
Figured it out. Need to manually start Terminal Services Client (or set it to automatically start). Control Panels>Services>TermService. Hit Start in middle of page and change Startup Type to Automatic.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By jose garcia on Sun, 02 Sep 2007 04:57:44 GMT
you are the best i've been looking for this solution for a week allready. thanks

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By zcat on Mon, 03 Sep 2007 09:20:08 GMT
run 'premium.bat' on my vista home premium and the batch file produced 'The following helper DLL cannot be loaded: P2PNESH.DLL'. do i ignore this error? Also when the batch file tried to start the Terminal Services, it gave out 'The service name is invalid' error. What gives? Please help. Thanks.

"Figured it out. Need to manually start Terminal Services Client (or set it to automatically start). Control Panels>Services>TermService. Hit Start in middle of page and change Startup Type to Automatic." What are you looking at? I don't see this on my version!!??

Thanks for sharing this fantastic hack! Jacco Slok

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Sally on Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:24:09 GMT
I tried to run this batch file and get error messages because I'm supposedly not logged in as an administrator. However; the account I'm using is indeed an administrator account. Help please. What a great hack if this really works. I really would like it to work for me and appreciate any help.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Sally on Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:47:03 GMT
Oops - nevermind. I'm new to Vista, but I get it now. I thought I was supposed to open a command prompt and run the batch file from there, but I see that all I had to do was to right click and run as administrator. That worked perfectly, and remote desktop is functioning now. Thanks so much for this invaluable hack!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Keith Grove on Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:19:46 GMT
To run the batch file as an administrator you have to "Run as administrator". All programs -- Accessories -- Command prompt (RIGHT CLICK, Run as administrator). Bingo.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By David Hayes on Thu, 20 Sep 2007 19:39:02 GMT
Best thing ever! Really annoyed this wasn't included in Home Premiun. Remote desktop works way better than VNC

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Balt on Fri, 21 Sep 2007 00:22:24 GMT
Thanks! Any way to get this to work with out locking the host machine?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Danny on Sun, 23 Sep 2007 06:16:02 GMT
Why don't I still see any more section in Remote Settings?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Gary on Sun, 23 Sep 2007 17:21:52 GMT
Have had this working like a dream for months now. However, I can only RDP an administrator account. I can't control non-administrators as they are not members of the "remote desktop suers" group. And of course, being Home Premium we don't have access to the group snap-in to make them so. Does anyone have a fix for this or some other way of being able to RDP non-administrators?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Chris on Mon, 24 Sep 2007 08:54:08 GMT
Gary - search for VHPUserMgr.zip - it allows you to change user rights/groups in Home Premium like XP would.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Sebastien on Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:34:12 GMT
Great job! I know that this hack is not working for now on Vista Beta SP1... I hope they will find a solution

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Robert on Wed, 03 Oct 2007 21:28:31 GMT

I've installed this hack on Windows Vista Home Premium and it has run successfully. No errors. However I still do not see any additional settings under Remote Settings. I only have settings for Remote Assistance.

Perhaps more importantly, I'm still not able to Remote Desktop to my Vista Home Premium machine from another computer on my local LAN. When I run netstat -a, I only see port 3389 enabled on port 0.0.0.0...which isn't right.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I'm suck!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Robert on Wed, 03 Oct 2007 21:30:25 GMT
Sorry, I meant to say that I only see port 3389 enabled on IP address 0.0.0.0 [on my Vista Home Premium machine] in the above comment.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Jimmy on Fri, 05 Oct 2007 20:21:20 GMT
Robert, a port open on 0.0.0.0 in netstat means it is open for all interfaces, so yes, it is right.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Sune on Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:43:00 GMT
Have anyone tried this on non-english systems? I have a Danish - Vista Home Premium

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Seb on Wed, 10 Oct 2007 05:51:38 GMT
Ok, got 2 quick question. Can you access a vista pc through the RD using an xp machine? When doing the RD, would it lock the vista pc or allow concurrent sessions? Thx

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Ken on Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:28:06 GMT
Where can I find VHPUserMgr.zip? Google doesn't find anything....

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Michael A on Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:31:44 GMT
Thank you thank you. More than I wanted. I was getting pretty frustrated trying to get VNC to work as a service. Now I can move the computer into the rack.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Shuzbud on Sat, 13 Oct 2007 20:59:15 GMT
Thanks to whoever made this possible. You are a lifesaver. 10 out of 10 for this fix :)

Didn't work at first	By Luker on Mon, 15 Oct 2007 08:19:02 GMT
Hi, the hack wasn't working for me, my vista home premiun had all the updates... checking the bats log I could see some errors taking ownership and copying the file (even though I was admin, and ran it as admin...) So, if this happens to you, copy the .dll file yourself (changing manually the permissions first of the current one) and it should work.

RE: using vista home	By it guy on Mon, 15 Oct 2007 20:47:31 GMT
IT REALLY WORKS. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GREAT THIS SOLUTION IS.!!!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Chris on Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:36:07 GMT
Sweet! Works great. Can even navigate through the annoying UAC prompts... Thx.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Greg on Wed, 17 Oct 2007 03:22:56 GMT
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This works beautifully! I was contemplating "upgrading" Vista (which came with my PC -- yuck!) but now I don't have to make Bill Gates richer. Kudos!!!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Chris on Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:34:36 GMT
Anyone know of a way of getting this file to work on a XP Home PC? I can control my 2 Vista PCs fine using it, but need RD to work on the XP desktop as well if possible. I ran the Premium bat file on XP which seemed to go fine but ended with something like "Choice" is not a valid command and then "Service is not listening".

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Ruben on Fri, 19 Oct 2007 19:56:14 GMT
This is great. It just works!!! Thank you. I did however had a problem with the batch file that was unable to copy the .dll file to the system32 directory due to some problems with rights and ownership. But after manually changing the termsrv.dll ownership in the system32 directory and forcing the copy of the file it worked like charm. Thank you again.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By David on Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:02:43 GMT
After putting the dll into system32 and running the premium batch file it says the copying is successfull and that it is listening what steps do you need to do? I opened up the remote access program and put the the computer's external ip into the domain but it prompts for credentials..help...

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By David on Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:49:59 GMT
I have found that if I put the computer's name in, and am on a different account on the same computer I can access it, but when I am on a different computer and try the same thing it says: "The authentication certificate received from the remote computer has expired or is not valid." What do I need to do?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Gio on Sat, 20 Oct 2007 16:59:23 GMT
Tony, I'm your biggest fan :) Thanks for this hack!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Alfred on Sun, 21 Oct 2007 23:05:28 GMT

Sorry...I cannot get this to work. I am using Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I followed the above procedure and even replaced the termsrv.dll (64 bit version)....ran the permium.bat using "Run As Administrator". I am getting "Starting Terminal Services - The service name is invalid".

I also tried Control Panel > Services > under "TermService" I got "Failed to Read Description. Error Code:998". I tried to start it manually - but I got "Windows could not start the TermService service on local Computer. Error 193: 0xc1".

Also I cannot start listening on port 3389. I even turn off Windows Firewall. I looked at "netstat -a" and cannot find this port is listening.

Any help is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Mark on Mon, 22 Oct 2007 23:44:35 GMT

I also cannot get this working on Vista Home Premium 64bit. The steps I took were.

1. Opened port 3389 in windows firewall
2. Forwarded port 3389 on my router to my desktop PC's internal IP address (192.168.1.2)
3. I ran the premium.bat file with the termsvr.dll (64bit version) and the registry edit file it all goes smoothly and says that it is LISTENING...
4. I created a second user account on my Vista machine with a password.
5. I have a laptop (XP SP2) on the same network (192.168.1.1) and attempted to login using the desktops computer name (Desktop-Study) and the new username and password I had created.

When i go to login it doesn't do anything, it just returns to the screen where I enter the computer name and that textbox is given control. No error message or any indication of what is happening.

Have i missed something????

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Boot on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 21:28:27 GMT
mark, I had this problem, it turned out the services had not started correctly. I had to actually log in as Administrator to execute the batch files. Running as Administrator did not work due to custom group policies. Log in as Admin Stop services Run batch Logout as admin Login as user Check Services to make sure terminal services is running correctly

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Bart on Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:48:30 GMT
I also have this "remote desktop user group" issue which I don't have in Vista Home. I also cannot find VHPUserMgr.zip? Any suggestions?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Brian on Sun, 28 Oct 2007 04:13:10 GMT
Keep getting 1079 error

Sweet success

By Shaun on Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:08:32 GMT

My sincere thanks to the one who crafted this hack. A few items of note for those who still cannot connect.

1. I had to modify the Windows bat file to change "Terminal Services" to "TermService" which is how the service was named on my computer. This was changed in two locations.
2. For some reason the firewall rule was not working so I added my open to open up 3389.
3. This was mentioned above, but I found that I had to run the bat file under an Admin account and also right-click to "Run as Administrator".
4. Finally, I had to add a Firewall rule to PcCillin (I forgot it was not just AV but also a firewall). MS PortQry tool helped me here (see: http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/RemoteDesktop/RemoteDesktopSetupandTroubleshooting.html)

Now, I'm golden and can RDP in from my Mac. Thanks again!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Bart on Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:07:54 GMT

Hi I still have an issue because I cannot find VHPUserMgr.zip

I am triying to connect from XP SP2 to Vista Home and use RDC6 on both machines.

Vista Username:
I get the user-name pswd prompt and when I try to logon using my Vista account I get "The user name or password is incorrect".

XP user name in vista:
So I created the same user-name in Vista what I use in XP. When I then correct I get "To logon to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow logon though Terminal Service rigth" and so on message...

I ran the hack under Vista Username. So can sombody help because I don't understand how I can grant rights if I don't have this option under Control Panel/System-> Remote (tab)?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By JeffB on Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:14:02 GMT
Thanx a bunch, dude. You really saved my bacon on this. My wife needed access to her new laptop from work and we couldn't get connected..this hadn't been a problem on my older XP Pro machine. Of cource the laptop is running Vista Home Premium, so I thought I was sunk. This "hack" brought her back to life and she was able to get access to her database to help with some work related issues.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Tom on Wed, 31 Oct 2007 23:26:50 GMT
I get an error message: The connection was denied because the user accout is not authorized for remote login How do I setup the account for remote login? Sorry - I am really a rookie.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Ricky on Fri, 02 Nov 2007 11:49:24 GMT
Can i use this hack on Windows Vista Basic?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Friend on Sat, 03 Nov 2007 02:15:24 GMT
Fantastic -- worked right out of the box. Many thanks!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Lars on Sat, 03 Nov 2007 09:02:08 GMT
Works like a charm. You may need to restart Vista after running the batch if you get error copynig file termsrv.ddl to windows/system32 folder.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Chris on Mon, 05 Nov 2007 16:04:52 GMT
Batch is not working. So I needed to replace orig. file manually, but after restarting TermianlService everything works fine! PERFECT! Thx a LOT!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By PhilH on Tue, 06 Nov 2007 10:03:56 GMT
It works wonderfully - but when I disconnect I have to restart my laptop by removing the battery, as a normal login just locks up. Any ideas.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Bart on Tue, 06 Nov 2007 22:38:36 GMT
Why is it working for others when I still have the issue that I can connect to Vista from XP (get the logon screen from Vista) but it doesn't accept any usename pswd. Tried removing vista pswd account, created same account on vista (admin) as on XP, and re-applied hack but without any luck? Please help... thx!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Gareth on Thu, 08 Nov 2007 01:00:13 GMT
Outstanding! This is exactly what I was looking for. Great job to whoever ripped the dll and many thanks to TonyChan.Org for making it easy to find on google :D

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Jason on Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:31:18 GMT
This works great! But I did notice that after I logout of the remote desktop connection to vista (start -> logoff), I won't be able to RDC into it again until my vista machine is rebooted anyone else have that probleM?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Dwayne Zon on Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:12:37 GMT
Thanks for your work. Excellent hack.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Miro on Wed, 14 Nov 2007 07:45:34 GMT
Installation seems to be OK, firewall is down, but i'm still unable to connect from my second machine at home (xp pro sp2). When connecting, no error message is shown, only the connection dialog is displayed again. Tried it from safe mode again, but without any success.

Can any one help wet the sound it should transfer the sound to the clients computer

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By archie on Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:47:21 GMT
WOW!!! really big thanks to the developer of this. works fine with me!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By fred on Thu, 15 Nov 2007 04:50:30 GMT
Wow - This is great!!! Works well from XP Home to Vista Premium. Now this is a very bad practice - but the Vista machine is connected to a LCD in the living room and used mostly for Media Centre.(LAN is wired only and consists of two machines). Is there a way to disable the password requirement for a user account for remote access?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By steev on Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:34:05 GMT
Problem with the sound over Vista Remote Desktop connection can any one help

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Keith on Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:01:04 GMT
Brilliant! Worked first time. Thank you.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Alfred on Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:17:38 GMT
Can anyone verify this hack works on Vista Home Premium 64 bit? I tried this hack and the "TermService" can not start. I attempted to start it manually and no luck. Please advise if I should replace the termsrv.dll for a 64 bit version...... if so......where can I get the 64 bit version? Thanks in advance.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Barney on Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:13:39 GMT

Works great. I assume a few of the glitches are simply due to clients running XP (which is the case for me). Even with the included RDC in Ultimate, I would guess you'd still run across some small bumps if connecting from XP.

I doubt this works on Basic to answer somebody's question previously, although I haven't tried it. The included batch files only include the other versions though. Thanks to whomever created this!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Benjamin on Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:06:39 GMT
Excellent. Works fine on my non-English system (Danish version). Thanx.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By JB on Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:04:44 GMT
The hack is not working on my new vista home premium PC, I found on some other message boards that microsoft has fixed the hole which made RDP server to work on vista premium using termsrv.dll hack, can anyone confirm it.

I don't think this is working for me

By LarryJB on Sun, 02 Dec 2007 16:06:46 GMT

sorry for the silly question. but on XP RD System Properties->remote tab there is a place to configure you computer for remote access from other computers. I was expecting this to be available on my vista premium system after running the premium.bat file, but it is not. Is this what it is supposed to do or not been successful with this install? Also, I cannot get any other computer to connect to mine.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By JB on Sun, 02 Dec 2007 16:21:10 GMT
LarryJB, ditto for me, after running the batch file the bottom half of screen after going remote tab is blank. I verified termsrv.dll copy and reg update was successful. I suspect that microsoft might have plugged in the hole for RDC to work on vista home premium, but I may be wrong.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Mark on Wed, 05 Dec 2007 09:32:21 GMT

Sorry it took me so long but I only got to try these new suggestions today and still no luck. Below is what I attempted.

1. Opened port 3389 in windows firewall
2. Forwarded port 3389 on my router to my desktop PC's internal IP address (192.168.1.2)
3. I created a second user account (administrator) on my Vista machine with a password.
4. Stopped the Terminal Service services.
5. I ran the premium.bat file with the termsvr.dll (64bit version) [confirmed new tersrv.dll in Windows/System32] and the registry edit file it all goes smoothly and says that it is LISTENING...
6. Restarted Vista and logged into my usual administrator account.
7. Terminal Services were already started but i restarted it again anyway.
8. I have a laptop (XP SP2) on the same network (192.168.1.1) and attempted to login using the desktops computer name (Desktop-Study or the IP) and the new username and password I had created.
9. When i go to login it doesn't do anything, it just returns to the screen where I enter the computer name and that textbox is given control. No error message or any indication of what is happening.

Does anyone have any further thoughts?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Nanaki on Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:19:10 GMT

Ok i might be plain thick but here was my problem. Running the home premium batch file under my normal admin login went fine. service started up great. restarted pc and tryed to login as admin. no go. created second user and tryed to login as that. no go (later found out i needed to make this user admin profile and not standard profile)

the reason it had been rejecting my login is i later used windows user control panel to change the login from from (false names here obviously) user1 to user2 however vista only changes that name on the front end to user2. the actual profile was still stored as the user1 name so to remote in i had to use it.

Anyways hope that helps other. basically you need to use the very first name you created that account with and it must be in the admin group.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By ANdrew on Mon, 10 Dec 2007 09:50:51 GMT
Seriously need the audio to work!! I have the option "bring sound to local computer" but the audio icon (in the sysbar) says "no auido output device is installed." However, I have my Audigy 2zs platium displaying in Device Manager. Any ideas??

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Mike on Sun, 16 Dec 2007 04:13:03 GMT

I used this hack and it works perfectly altho' desktop looks as if it was safe-booted--ie, large icons and black screen. But now that I have the luxury of rmt dktp on 2 computers on my LAN (my new vista and old xp pro), how do I get linksys router to direct to port 3389 on TWO computers at will? Note we are not dealing with web form of rmt dktp in which the notation is host.name:portx. That would allow redirection. We are using the more restricted, VPN type of rmt dktp which only likes one port. Is there a fix to this other than going into Vista registry, which I understand even less than my router??

2 Remote Desktops on one LAN

By Mike on Sun, 16 Dec 2007 05:52:18 GMT

OK, I will answer my own question regarding have remote desktop on 2 computers connected to a single LAN, one Vista Home Premium and one XP pro. On the Vista Home Premium computer, which has the Chan hack for Remote Desktop, I implemented the registry change for listening port specified by Microsoft for XP Pro and Vista Ultimate computers running Remote Desktop. Then I made a corresponding entry to the firewall on my Vista machine. Lastly, I made the appropriate entry on my Linksys router. So the router can now use different ports for remote desktops on my 2 computers. It works perfectly. I can access either desktop from a remote computer and within the house can access either one from the other. My primary reason for setting up remote dekstop on my Vista Home Premium computer: I wondered if Iwould be able to watch internet TV on the Vista machine (it is included in Media Center) on my XP Pro computer after connecting to the Vista machine by Rmt Dktp. The answer: You can start up Vista Media Center remotely but cannot view internet TV remotely. Of course, I don't know if that would also be the case if you were accessing the Vista desktop from another Vista Machine. But if you had 2 Vista machines, the question wouldn't arise. Other applications worked well when I accessed the Vista desktop remotely.

You must pay attention on the service name depending on the language localisation ("Terminal Services" in Italian becomes "Servizi Terminal"). Nice hack. Also pay attention on coming Sp1 and "new" dll version.

Are there any differences between the RDC version on Vista Ultimate and this home premium hack? There is some mention of sound - does Vista Ultimate allow sound? Also the type of user you can log on as? Finally if you dont want to use RDC what other freeware software might you use?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Gavin on Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:42:38 GMT
Another happy user of this excellent fix. I can now RDC to Vista Home Premium on my new Sony Vaio VGX-XL302, which is a great media centre PC. It might help others to update the instructions above to right click on the batch file then choose "Run as Admin" i.e. no need for command prompt. Thanks and very well done.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

Not working on Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Has anyone on the 64-bit OS got this working?

I ran the bat with correct 64-bit .dll (file + registry updates have all been applied), rebooted but no joy.

If I RDP onto the hacked 64-bit Vista Home Premium box from a Vista Ultimate PC on my LAN I get as far as typing the username and password to logon, click ok, wait a couple of seconds & the 'connect' button becomes available again - no error message, just doesn't do anything!

I built the 64-bit Vista Home PC today & have applied all available Windows updates. Have M$ released some patch to prevent this hack from working?!?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Sly on Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:21:57 GMT
Damn!! Cannot get the batch file to work. I'm getting a "The specific service does not exist as an installed service" "Error 1060". I guess I have a newer version (v.6) of Premium Home and as others mentionned, Microsoft fixed the hole. If anyone knows about a new fix, please post it! Thanks

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Matt on Tue, 11 Mar 2008 02:00:28 GMT

This hack works on my 32-bit Ultimate PC, but not on 64-bit Home Premium. Both systems have all available Windows Updates applied.

When I RDP to a hacked 64-bit Home Premium PC, I'm prompted for the username & password to connect with. If I enter bad credentials I get a sensible error message. If I enter good credentials I don't get an error, but I don't get connected to the remote PC either!!! Just sits at the RDC window (connect button is re-enabled).

I got the 64-bit .dll from the link posted "By Mark T. on Wed, 20 Feb 2008 19:12:22 GMT", can anyone (Mark?) say if this definately should work? Does anyone know of a different link for the 64-bit .dll that I could try?

Seems as though I have the same issue posted "By Mark on Mon, 22 Oct 2007 23:44:35 GMT". See the reply "By Boot on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 21:28:27 GMT", which states a fix - I tried this also (had fun enabling the local admin account!) but this didn't work for me.

No luck on 64bit Home Premium. The dll mentioned above is indeed 64 bit:
-----------------
File Header:
Machine: 0x8664 (AMD64)
Number of Sections: 5
Time Date Stamp: 0x4549D342 (2006-11-02 12:15:14)
Pointer to Symbol Table: 0x00000000
Number of Symbols: 0
Size of Optional Header: 0x00F0 (240)
Characteristics: 0x2022
File is executable.
App can handle >2GB addresses.
File is a DLL.
-------------

Unfortunatelly replacing it manually or using the batch doesn't help - when trying to connect, after authorising with good password, the connection aborts with no message.

I'm not sure what's wrong, I see the service installed and started and I checked the registry entries from the batch file and the .reg file and they are all there. Any other ideas would be appreciated, I'm really bummed this didn't work for me. I'm running Home Premium with SP1 installed.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Kla on Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:26:21 GMT
If you can not connect after running the install script: Check the security setting for the original termsvr.dll in c:\windows\system32. On my system the security settings prohibited me to replace the file.

Thanks Tony!!!

This is how I did it on my swedish Vista Home Premium :-)
Edit premium.bat as below

REM takeown /a /f %SystemRoot%\System32\termsrv.dll
pause

REM icacls %SystemRoot%\System32\termsrv.dll /Grant Administrators:F
pause

REM copy /y "%SOURCEFOLDER%termsrv.dll" %SystemRoot%\System32\
pause

Run premium.bat as administrator and open an other cmd as administrator and cd into system32

At the first pause I did "takeown /a /f termsrv.dll" in the second window

At the second pause I did "icacls termsrv.dll /Grant Administratörer:F" in the second window

At the third pause I did "copy /y "D:\download\termsrv\termsrv.dll"

You should be able to tell where I unpacked ;-)

Open port 3389 in Windows Firewall and now I'm writing this from my XP machine in Vista :-D

and Tony, Thanks again!!!

I cant take ownership of anything on my computer, anything administratively I do it says : "The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process".

This may sound trivial to the IT guys, but tripped me (a novice) up for a few hours when applying this hack today. To connect outside your house, you need the computer's external IP address. I kept connecting using my internal IP address which I got by running cmd ipconfig as suggested on a few sites. So I could connect from home but not outside it (which is where I need it). Go to www.whatismyip.com for your external IP.

I can confirm that the hack works for 64 bit VistaHP. Got the necessary files here which has everything needed for x64 and x86 versions: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/permalink/210408/244477/ShowThread.aspx#244477

wow, i fought with this for a while but finally got it to work. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64 SP1.

Here's what worked for me on Vista Home Premium SP1:

1)be logged in as an administrator

2) download this version of the patch for sp1 and unzip it: http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/

3) go to control panel\system and maintenance\administrator tools\services.
then goto terminal services and set start up type to disabled, then stop it, once
it is stopped, set start up type back to automatic

4) now go to the folder where the patch was unzipped to and right click the premium batch file and run as administrator

5) add port 3389 to the firewall exceptions

6) if you have a lan, then you will have to set the router to foward port 3389 to the ip address of the pc

ran the batch file, then set it to automatic, re-ran the batch file and all ok.

thx to whoever created this most handy feature. MS are stupid removing this feature from the the so called premium version of the OS !!

OK, I'm a little lost. I have 3 machines; XP Prof, Vista Home Prem x32; Vista Home Prem x64. I made the patches to both Vista machines. x32 can now RDC to XP.

I cannot get premium batch file to complete on x64. Message "Not Listening" at the end of batch file. I checked for errors above (echo on) in the batch output and there are none. I exec all this as Admin; I even created an ID called Admin to see if that made a difference - not.

Port is added to windows Firewall and scope set to all machines.

As I understand it, the only differences between x32 and x64 is the DLL ... is the right? My DLL date stamps are below.

termsrv.dll Date Stamps
x32 3/20/2008 5:48 PM
x64 7/19/2007 1:41 PM

Got x64 DLL from Link found on Green Button: http://demayo.hopto.org/downloads/termsrv64.dll

Does anyone have ideas on where I'm going wrong. Many thanks for all the Help!

I tried this and it works! Fantastic. Is there any way to connect to the machine via Remote Desktop WITHOUT interrupting the console session? Sometimes when watching TV on the media centre pc, I would like to connect to it from my laptop and perform some admin tasks.. file copying etc, but without interrupting the TV show.

***Is there any way to connect to the machine via Remote Desktop WITHOUT ***interrupting the console session?

Yeah...Remote Assistance allows you to view the screen remotely while not interrupting the console user. It's made for IT engineers to see what thier users are experiencing or walking their users through something. We use it at work via MS SMS (systems management server) but it is a feature in Vista as well.

On http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=198&topic=517.90 I finally found the way to make it work on SP1. http://rapidshare.com/files/90325478/termsrv.sp1.patched.dll.html for home premium 32 bit.

Service name is invalid...

By Heiko on Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:46:03 GMT

@ all of you who get the service name is invalid error message

You are most likely using a Vista version that is not English, but another language. I'm running a German version. The batch file tries to stop and start the service "Terminal Server". The name of the service is "Terminaldienste" in German. So you need to edit the batch file in two lines and change it to the approrapriate term for your Vista version. In my case "Terminaldienste". After that the error message disappears. Cheers Heiko

For SP1 the new DLL is needed, beware

By Jimmy on Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:02:16 GMT

Many thanks, such a great community we have, where were we 15 years ago when we had no google and no forums.

Works well, except for PCs with SP1 loaded, the DLL from the previous post is required. Just download it, rename it to termsrv.dll (after renaming or dleting the old one) and run the batch file.

I had some problems after loading the original DLL, I could not shut down Terminal Services no matter what. I eventually had to disable the service, restart, run the batch file in Administrator mode then change the service back to Automatic. All's well that ends well. Many thanks

Dont forget Network and Security Center changes are required

By Jimmy on Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:18:23 GMT

one more thing, even though I got all the right signals from running the batch file and checking netstat -a etc. I still could not connect to my laptop (the Vista Home Prem PC with the hack) until I went into Network and Sharing Center and changed Network Discovery to On and Password Protected Sharing to Off. So I am now typing this msg from my XP machine connected to my laptop, which means I am finally able to log onto my laptop and check my emails from my warm study instead of battling the cold winter mornings to get out into my garage (home office) :-)

"Access is Denied"

By Mike A on Tue, 08 Jul 2008 02:58:37 GMT

I have the hack installed and Terminal Services listening on port 3389. When I try to connect from my XP client I do not even get prompted for a user/password. I connect to the Vista machine and get a "Vista Home Premium" screen the says "Access is Denied" and an "OK" button that closes the connection.

Drain, on Mar 30 stated...
"I had to go into Vista Advanced System Config and change my RDP to allow both private and PUBLIC before I could remotely connect, even within my local workgroup...."

I cannot find this setting in Vista Home Premium. Is there something in system settings I am missing or turned on?

Re: "Acces is Denied"	By Mike A on Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:07:55 GMT
Figured it out. The service was not being started by owner "Network Service". I am ok now

Works under Vista Home Premium 64 bit w/ SP1

By DefenderBob on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:09:32 GMT

First off, it works with 64bit Vista Home Prem.

1. Dowload the following http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/permalink/210408/244477/ShowThread.aspx#244477 (or http://www.coffincruisers.com/RDP_Vista_SP1.zip)

2. Stop and disable the Terminal Server service, under services.msc

3. From the file downloaded in step 1, extract all contents to a temporary location. Copy termsvr.dll to the clipboard (ctrl-c).

4. In explorer, browse to c:\windows\system32.

5. Rename termsvr.dll to termsvr_old.dll. This is your backup.

6. Paste the file copied in step 3. You now have c:\windows\system32\termsvr.dll again.

7. Run the corresponding .bat file from the files extracted in step 3.

8. Should error out - don't worry.

9. Open services.msc again and set Terminal Server (or Terminal Services) service to automatic.

10. Restart the PC and check the event viewer for logs. Test your new config by going to a new computer and using MSTSC.

w00t, thanks for all the work above guys!

I have 3 laptops and a desktop, all with Vista Premium SP1. I am attempting to remote into the desktop only. I ran the SP1 hack on the desktop and added the TCP port 3389 as instructed. However, when I try to connect, I get a message stating that my "domain/network does not contain any terminal servers". I am new to RPC, so any help is appreciated.

As an aside, does the same hack need to be run on the laptops also?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Tim on Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:14:32 GMT
Turns out that I can get in by using IP address but not through the domain. Any corrections to fix that?

I have configured the 'remote' setting to accept requests

Then I open the the zip file, click on the Premium icon since I am running Home Premium and when it runs the cmd window I am getting a bunch of access denied prompts, but then it states that the computer is listening and when I hit the any key to continue the cmd window closes.

Now I go to my Windows XP Professional computer and try to connect and it says that it cannot find my computer.....

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By 98SE'er on Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:32:59 GMT

I wasn't initially able to make it work from the instructions, but after analyzing the premium.bat log, I realized that termsrv.dll hadn't been copied out. So, I manually stopped (as in the bat) the service, changed the original termsrv.dll security settings to full control in order to manually make the dll substitution, restarted the service, and it works!! (from a Windows 98 SE remote desktop client). I also allowed in the Windows Premium's Firewall the 3389 port as well as remote access.

So, many many thanks, Tony. Best regards.

Just got my 64Bit Vista Premium to work has a Host. Now I am able to both remote into Vista from Xp Pro as well as remote out to my xp pro from vista. The zip file posted here does not work for 64Bit. Google for RDP_Vista_SP1.zip and you will find a similar package. Just running premium.bat from that new zip as a administrator did the trick. Now my vista home premium is also the host for multiple RDC connections.

Hey Tony..After 2 days I finally managed to get my vista home premium working as a Host See my earlier response. Get the file I mentioned and then run the premium.bat as Administrator. Remmerb, u need to log in as Administrator and run the above bat file. Works like a charm

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Tony_wh on Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:42:05 GMT
Thanks Vinny but that's what I've done but unfortunately no luck. The premium.bat said that it was listening at the end of its run but the XP laptop that I'm trying to use to connect keeps coming up that the domain doesn't contain any Terminal Servers. Also the Remote Settings in Vista x64 doesn't have an 'Enable Remote Desktop' box for me to check. Does it appear in yours?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Tony_wh on Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:03:24 GMT

****UPDATE****
It Works! RDP_Vista_SP1.zip actually works!
Here's what I did:
I have a Vista Home Premium x64 Desktop which I need to access with an XP Pro Laptop
1) I installed latest version of Terminal Services 6 for XP to the Laptop
2) On the PC, I switched off BOTH terminal services in Vista
3) I replaced the termsrv.dll with the one in the RDP_Vista_SP1.zip and got control of the file using http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1220&Itemid=152
4) I re booted
5) Rechecked that services were still off
6) Ran the Premium.bat as administrator
7) Rebooted
8) Restored Terminal Services
9) Rebooted
10) Used the IP address (rather than the PC Name) to find it on my network
Thanks to everyone who has worked to get this working
(Sorry to Shout! I'm just so excited!! - No RDP was a real step back for me)

Anyone successfuly get the Audio working with RDP? I am currently having my vista premium 64bit run as Host and connecting to it with my xp pro deski. Even after chosing "Bring it to the Computer" option for Audio (local resources), I notice "No Audio Device Installed" message on the bottom. I understand "Audio Mapping" need to be enabled. But in vista premium, there is no terminal service config utility. Nor do I know which registry entry to set to enable audio mapping. Any help? I would love to get the audio working with vista premium as host.

Thanks
Vinny

No one ever mentions Vista Home Basic. Is it not an issue with that version as well? Also, I thought Vista Business and Ultimate would not need a "patch".

I think I have a voodoo system here. I have a Home Premium 64 machine on which this worked. But it's not working on my Home Premium 32 system. No matter which way I go about applying the hack, the result is the same: the termserv service quits after a few seconds of being launched. I can see it happen, just by opening the service's properties page and starting it manually. Anyone else solved this issue or might know what's wrong?

Worked great for me and I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit version!!

Question however...

WHen I had XP Pro and used RDC I was able to log on to a current session. Therefore if the XP Pro PC was running Outlook and I logged on remotely, I was able to use Outlook right where I left off. Of course , no one else could use the XP machine while I was connected remotely and now this is not the case. That is good that concurrent sessions are enabled. However, when I log on remotely to the Vista PC with this hack, the Outlook session is unavailable because of course the file is locked. How do I enable a remote connection to the CURRENT session? THANKS for any help! (I would like my cake and eat it too!) Multiple concurent sessions AND remote current session!

Worked fine on Vista-64 sp1 (after I found the sp1 stuff) but I can only log in as Administrator. Snap-in for user groups refuses to load complaining that I am running home premium. Is there a patch or reg edit to add remote access permission to a standard user?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Ionizer on Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:18:16 GMT

yeah guys, i think there is a NEW ISSUE with some of the windows updates.

I had the non-sp1 Vista hack working perfectly for about 6 months

I installed some recent updates (BUT NOT SP1) and now it seems to not work any more....this happened this past weekend i guess but i didn't notice it until today.

when i try to run the process again, it seems the RDP client that would listen on 3389 just won't start

I tried manually starting the 2 terminal services services and still, netstat -a does not show it (yes i have it on port 3389 in registry)

surely there is something new going on here with relationship to vista updates and it's just beginning to be seen... however, i am not sure a new dll is going to do much since the issue appears to be that the service won't start?

anyone got more info?

2. download and unzip that file.
3. reboot in safe mode
4. go to windows\system32\ folder and rename termsrv.dll to termsrv.old
5. go to the unzipped folder you downloaded and copy termsrv.dll into the system32 folder. this will put the correct hacked version for sp1 in the right place.
6. reboot into normal mode.
7. run the premium.bat file you downloaded as administrator
8. it should say it's listening at the end.
9. reboot and enjoy remote desktop

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Preeya on Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:00:52 GMT

First I'd like to say thanks for this batch, now I can use RDC on my laptop and desktop. For those out there, here are steps that I took. It took me a little to figure it out because when I was trying to install the premium batch it said I didn't have administrator rights even though I was in my admin account. So what I did was

1. Add TCP port 3389 in my firewall (under exceptions)
2. Turn off user account control (control panel ->user accounts -> turn user account control off) & restart *** very important, this allowed me to have administrator rights
3. complete the rest as above
3.

confirmed that the version found at this link (referenced in a comment above) worked for me on Vista HP SP1 64bit, including clipboard. I did not test, nor do I care about sound over RDP :)

Oh and Thanks Again, Microsoft, for deciding to take the extra effort to cripple something that isn't even of interest to a majority of your users.

DefenderBob - Thanks, that link to the rdp_vista_sp1 worked like a charm. I have been trying all morning with many different configurations with no success until now. I'd like to add my thanks to Tony as well, without this site I would probably have to relocate my entire Vista Ultimate setup to the home computer in order to get to have the RDC feature.

I installed the termsrv.zip as administrator and that appears to have worked all right, but now when I attempt to remote into the other computer, I get a message saying "This computer can not connect to the Remote Computer" . I've tried everything I can think of and can't get this working. My other PC with exact same operating system works great on with the fix, but this one is being stubborned. Any ideas?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By John Harms on Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:03:21 GMT
Many thanks. I was originally getting an error indicating the file is being used by another process yet the Terminal Services Service was stopped. I restarted in Safe mode then ran the bat file and it worked. I rely on Remote Desktop for a living so I'm happy go get it installed on my new laptop. THANK YOU!!

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Tim on Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:35:24 GMT

I'm also stumped trying to enable this for non-admin users. I found a shareware "User Manager for XP/Vista Home" (http://www.xphometools.com/download.aspx?p=2), but it doesn't seem to support the SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight privilege that is relevant. I did use it to examine privileges granted to Administrators, but adding those to my standard user's group after the steps below did not resolve the problem.
I've used "net localgroup" to create my own "Remote Desktop Users" group and add my standard user account to the group, and the Windows 2003 resource kit's "ntrights" utility to grant SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight to this group.
But now attempts to log on remotely give the message "The requested session access is denied". This is different than if I revoke SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight, that gives a longer message specifically about the "Remote Desktop Users" group.

It seems like I've gotten closer, so I'm hoping someone else may see what is still missing.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium - Not listening

By Aussie on Thu, 25 Dec 2008 20:42:43 GMT

Similar problem to many ... not listening ... Home Premium
Done everything as instructed mulitiple times, however, will not listen on 3389.
termsrv copied ok, registry updated. Batch file confirms terminal services ALREADY started. Doesn't seem to be kosher? Not listening on 3389.
Also:
1. Add TCP port 3389 in my firewall (under exceptions) manually
2. Turn off user account control and logged in as Administrator
3. Reran premium.bat as administrator

Another interesting point is that I do not see the Remote Desktop entries in System Properties/Remote tab ... is this normal?

Can someone suggest how to debug this?

By Henry on Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:35:10 GMT

On my two Vista x64 Home Premium PC's it seems that the TS is moved to port 3390. I have open that port in the FW and I'm able to connect and see the wellcome screen, I'm also able to partly logon, which means that I can see the host Vista is "preparing the deskktop" - but then I get logged off again, wierd. When I watch the taskmanager/users I see the user getting logged on but the it disapears again.

I'm running Vista x64 SP1 danish.

Very anoying

Great Hack! :) Thank you Andrew for the 64-bit. I installed it, and the service is running properly.

I can connect to the PC where is set RD up successfully. After I press the connect button, I am asked for credentials. When I enter wrong ones, I'm asked again (fine so far).

But when I enter correct credentials, nothing happens! I get back to the screen and the connect button is re-enabled. Any ideas?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Tim on Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:43:23 GMT

Andrew Block 's 64 bit version worked for me! THANK YOU for laying the foundation to get this done. When my computer arrived the other day with Vista Home Premium, I thought it went without saying that I could use Remote Desktop. My whole plan for the use of the darn thing required Remote Desktop. I was shocked when I realized it wouldn't work out of the box like I wanted it to. This post (along with Andrew Block's 64 Bit version above) solved my problem.

As of last night when I did a windows update for SP1 I can’t get this to work. I was using it yesterday fine.. now all of sudden 3389 is not listening. It’s enabled on both my router and windows firewall… Any suggestions?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Wal-E on Sun, 11 Jan 2009 04:28:46 GMT
This worked great after I selected the batch file to run as administrator. only problem i have now is that i cannot RDP into the other profile on the Vista PC. Any ideas?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Wal-E on Sun, 11 Jan 2009 06:28:01 GMT
Upon further investigation, I have worked out the issue is the inability to change the Remote Desktop User Groups in Home Premium. Earlier posts refer to a tool - VHPUserMgr - but I cannot find this using Google. If anyone knows how I can solve this, please replyt to the post.

I want non Administrators to login to remote desktop.
I have the same problem as Tim regarding SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight.
I really would like this to work any help would be appreciated.

BTW. Thank you all very much for solving this problem. Without this I couldn't have gotten Vista Home Premium Remote Desktop to work. Along the way I learned why UAC blocks access to copying windows\system32 files, how to enable adminstrator account etc.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By k3r0 on Mon, 12 Jan 2009 01:19:44 GMT

I can't seem to connect to the remote computer as much as I try after following this tutorial. I've seen similar tutorials online as well, some with SP1 hacks as well. Here is what I've tried doing:

On the Windows Vista Home Premium Machine:
1. Downloading the termsrv.zip
2. Extracting to the Desktop
3. Running the premium.bat file under "Run as Administrator..." (similar to original directions)
4. After reading the prompt to be successful and listening, I make sure port 3389 is indeed working.
- I do this by running cmd.exe, typing netstat -a, and seeing that TCP [:::]:3389 is LISTENING.
5. Going onto the Linksys Router, I go under the Applications & Gaming tab, to Port Range Forward the following:
- Application: rd1
- Start Range: 3389
- End Range: 3389
- Protocol: Both (TCP & UDP)
- IP Address: (Home Premium's Local Address)
- Enable: [X]
6. I proceed onto the Status tab of the Linksys Router to check the IP Address of the router and mark that down.

Going onto my Windows XP: MCE, SP3 Machine:
1. Open RDC - (Start Menu -> Run -> mstsc.exe)
2. Enter the IP Address of the Router
3. Enter the User Name of the Vista Machine
4. Configure and safe the settings correctly
5. Connect

I get the error message:
"Remote Desktop Disconnected

This computer can't connect to the remote computer.

Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator.

[ OK ] [Help ]"

I don't know what to do at this point, please help!

Thank you!!!	By James on Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:44:36 GMT
Hi Tony, I used Vista Home Premium and get confused to used the remote desktop features, First I try the steps at http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/ It won't work maybe this article is used for Vista Home SP1, and then I found your article and already try it, it work!!!, thank you man ...

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By dubahu on Sat, 17 Jan 2009 15:20:28 GMT

k3r0, since both machines are on your local subnet, you don't need to open a port in your router to RDP in between the two. That is for connection from the internet to work. First, make sure you have turned on RDP, which you should if you followed these steps, then open the port in WINDOWS firewall. Turning on RDP in XP should do this automatically, you'll likely have to do it manually in Vista Home.

dubahu,

I am indeed attempting to do RDP over the internet, I just so happen to use LogMeIn Free version to be able to access the client I'm trying to connect to. My personal machine is the host which I want controlling the one at a different location. Are there any tips on me manually adjusting the Windows Vista Premium firewall to allow connections to 3889 because netstat tells me that the port is LISTENING on the client computer.

Thanks for the reply, hope to hear some more info!

Can somebody help me. I installed the premium.bat file and everything went ok until the last part when is testing to make sure the service is listing on port 3389, I have configure my firewall and my comcast router to allow port 3389 for both TCP and UDP, however the test fail and indicates that the service is not listening. Can somebody tell me how to resolve this problem.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Viscont12 on Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:57:01 GMT
You have to allow TCP 3389 port in your Firewall either Windows or any other Security Program.

This killed my Xbox 360 Extender capabilities ( I realize someone posted about this earlier, but I didn't see it). Now, if I copy my old termsrv.dell ( termsrv.dll.bak) back into the system32 folder and delete the registry keys that the batch file added, will that make my Media Center Extenders work again, or will it just kill remote desktop as well?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Ralf on Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:56:50 GMT
Killed my extender as well. I stopped Terminal Services and Windows Media Extender, deleted the new termsrv.dll, copied the termsrv.dll.bak to termsrv.dll, restarted terminal services and windows media extender, and it worked again.

Any idea why mine stops working ?

I have the logon screen, but vista says that I did't enter the right password...
I tried several time, always the same. And yes, I'm sure of the password.

And there is more. My first symptom was that when I log thru RDP, my "profile" is not set (eg, outlook ask me to create a new icon, my desktop icons where not at the right place)... but I only have one logon !!!!

Thanks !

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Tom on Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:49:14 GMT
I'm too lazy to read all the responses but this happened to me too where it said the service was not listening. What was happening for me is the termsrv.dll file wasn't actually being replaced. I manually replaced it by first unlocking the original termsrv.dll, then I copy and pasted the new termsrv.dll file in the system32 directory. Make sure you reboot and it should work fine. Hope this helps.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Steve on Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:14:16 GMT

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Tom on Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:07:01 GMT

@Steve: Did you get the problem fixed. What I did was used a little program called WhosLockingIt which is super wonderful to use if you want to find out what's locking the dll file and it will even close the programs at your command. Be warned though, you will lose network capability completely (internet too) when you fully unlock the termserv.dll file. But once you get it patched, a simple reboot will get it working again. Hope this helps.

I installed premium.bat on my vista pc, but initially I couldnt remote from my xp machine. I had to download another patched termsrv.dll which is 438kb in size and not the one thats linked on this page (size 418kb). After installing premium.bat on vista, I was getting authentication error(error code: 0×80090330) on my xp machine. Then I had to modify rdp file(default.rdp) on my xp machine. Now its working like a charm! Thanks

Attn Blake-
you will not see remote desktop under remote assistance. If you are using xp machine to remote into vista, you have to configure xp machine. If you are still facing problems. Please mention the exact error you are facing.

Download a patched version from this link: http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/termsrv_sp1.zip. Unzip to a new folder. Right click on premium.bat and click runas admin. It will run a batch file and also copy necessay reg entries from termonpremium.reg. Hopefully it will solve your problem.

This error i generated coz, your "terminal services" service is not able to start. What you can TRY is, open Services from Administrative Tools. Verify if the "service" named "Terminal Services" is set to "automatic". If its "disabled" or "manual" put to "automatic". Also verify same for the service "Remote Procedure Call" coz Terminal Service is dependent on Remote Procedure Call(RPC). RPC also has to be set to automatic. After this again try to run premium.bat file. Good luck

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By snehal on Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:15:53 GMT
just to make sure verify windows>system32 if the file termsrv.dll is 438kb in size.

Snehal,
Actually i was using it from my other vista computer that also have home premium. Should i install this same batch on that computer too?
And it was actually odd. I were able to connect the remote desktop from my main computer (Vista) to my work computer (XP) without having to intall anything. but now i'm trying to get my new work computer (vista) to my main computer ( vista) and it does not work. They are both home premium. I intalled the batch on my main computer already. Should i do the same on my new work computer? (just to let you know when i did my first batch on my main computer. the comand prompt said that it is not listening.. Should i do something to fix it?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By snehal on Tue, 14 Apr 2009 03:09:17 GMT

Blake,
This patch has to be installed on the pc on which you want to remotely access.
Vista is allowed to make outbound RDP connection(without the patch)
to any pcs. Like in your case in the past you made RDP connection from your Main(Vista) pc to your work pc(XP), that is bcoz outbound connections are allowed without patch. So for this process(if you want to use vista to remote into other pc) you dont need to install patch. But if you want to remotely access vista pc(say A) from other XP or Vista pc (say B) then you need to install patch on A not on B. Now in your case you have new work computer(vista) and also your main computer(vista). You are trying to access your work computer from your main computer. You installed patch on your main computer. You should have rather installed patch on your work computer. Once again eg: If there are two vista pcs A & B. You want to access A from B, so you have to install patch on A not on B. Also on A you have to allow inbound port 3389 on ALL the firewalls you have.

Catvmark
Only thing you can still verify if port 3389 is allowed inbound connection on ALL the firewalls. In case if you have installed any windows hotfixes or updates recently on Vista that may or may not be the reason. I would still try to restore pc to an earlier date and try installing the premium.bat again. Are you able to manually start Terminal Services service?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Blake on Tue, 14 Apr 2009 05:18:25 GMT

Snehal,
Okay, I understand what you are saying. But now my problem is I can't get the port 3389 to listen. I've added the TCP 3389 onto my firewall to accept. (I also have norton 360, it won't let me actually customize and add the TCP 3389 but i were able to turn off the invalid TCP Desination Port. Like that would make a differnce??) I even turned off all of my firewalls for a moment to see if it works and it did not. I also think I have the same problem as catvmark. I tried follow your way. The RPC and Terminal Services are set to auto and the file is not 438 kb in size.. I have 417 kb. And i tried to run the batch again.. it still says that it is not listening...

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By snehal on Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:50:25 GMT
Blake Looks like you are running an older patch thats bcoz the size of your file is 417kb. Download from this link I gave before http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/termsrv_sp1 and follow the process I mentioned before. After running this patch, the file should be 438kb in windows\system 32\ .

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Blake on Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:29:33 GMT
Snehal, Ok the file is 438kb in size but it still said that the service is not listening. I added Port 3389 again to the windows firewall just to make sure and i turned off my norton 360 to see if it works.. it did not. I also created a custom traffic rule that should allow Port 3389 but i'm not sure if i'm doing it right.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By snehal on Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:15:42 GMT

Blake
For RDP to function properly there are lot of factors like services, windows hotfixes/updates, firewall etc. There are lot of people who had this kind of problem after running some windows updates or if some of the services were not running properly or if the firewall was not configured properly on your pc. I dont know system state of your pc. If you have verified everything is in order, then I guess you are running out of luck. The last thing I would suggest is that you LOGIN with an administrator account and not a standard account(probably you already are using admin account, I dont know). So LOGIN with admin account, verify everything and run premium.bat as admin once again. If you are not successful you can download newer patch which Catvmark downloaded and tried from this link:
http://rs382.rapidshare.com/files/165527506/RDP_Vista_SP1.zip
I have not tried this patch. I dont know any side effects of this patch as I never had to try it. So run it at your own risk, as a last alternative if you wish.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

I used the version above for home premium with sp1 and got the not listening issue. I then tried using the version found at http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/termsrv_sp1.zip, but it was unable to stop the terminal service. i disabled the service, rebooted,copied the new termsrv.dll into C:\Windows\System32, reset the terminal service to automatic, then ran the patch and it worked. it doesnt give me any new options in the remote settings, but it works.

Fix for "Not Listening"

By Michael on Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:47:50 GMT

I had the problem of having everything go fine, except that it would say at the end "The Service is not listening." I was able to fix the problem, and it was really simple.

Two things I did differently to get it to work:

1) I used the SP1 version of this hack. Found here: http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/
(Thanks David)

2) I right-clicked the premium.bat file and chose "Run As Administrator." THIS GAVE ME A DIFFERENT RESULT THAN RUNNING IT FROM AN ADMINISTRATOR-ENABLED COMMAND LINE. I don't know why, but it worked.

Hope that helps.

~Michael

Ketan (from 2008)

I too was getting "terminal server could not be stopped" when running the premium.bat file. Finally I got it to work by
1. disabling the terminal service,
2. rebooting,
3. running premium.bat (it generated an error about terminal service not running.),
4. then I re-set terminal service to "automatic",
5. waited a few minutes
6. then re-ran premium.bat which finally found terminal services to be listening.

Now Remote Desktop works for me from another computer. At least within my LAN. I'll open a router port and try from the WAN.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Gavin on Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:13:52 GMT

I installed the patch on SP2 x64 with no problems, and remote desktop worked fine after I went to to the Security tab on the client and selected Attempt Authentication, then accepted the certificate from the server.

BUT...installing this patch killed the Media Center Extenders I'm running. I could see in the server that they were attempting to log in and immediately logging off. I'm guessing something changed on the security side of things (like the changes needed to security options get the RD client to work) that these devices can't handle.

I poked around for a while to try to get the extenders and RD client to all work together, but no joy there. I tried to just restore the previous DLL, but that did not work. I ended up doing a System Restore to a point just prior to install of the RD hack.

Guess I'll have to go with VNC, or upgrade to Ultimate, if I want Remote Desktop and Media Center Extenders all accessing the same server.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By DefenderBob on Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:19:56 GMT

After you apply SP2, you will need to re-apply this Terminal Services "Fix."

For those of you asking about audio, there is still not a driver that will work.

For people having permissions issues when setting up the "fix", please DISABLE THE UAC before running the steps. The UAC will cause problems.

DISABLE your Antivirus / Antispyware / Symantec Endpoint / Anything Symantec / Anything Norton. They will also cause problems.

Once you have the "fix" in place and tested as OK - re-enable all of your AV / Firewall applications and make sure that port 3389 (or whatever port you have configured RDP to run on) to allow the traffic to pass. If you do not do this, it won't work.

Tony's instructions at the top list off everything needed for Vista Home Premium x86 to host Terminal Services.

Here are the Vista Home Premium x64 steps (again)

1. Dowload the following http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/permalink/210408/244477/ShowThread.aspx#244477 (or http://www.coffincruisers.com/RDP_Vista_SP1.zip)

2. Stop and disable the Terminal Server service, under services.msc

3. From the file downloaded in step 1, extract all contents to a temporary location. (C:\temp maybe?) Copy termsvr.dll to the clipboard (ctrl-c).

4. In explorer, browse to c:\windows\system32.

5. Rename termsvr.dll to termsvr_old.dll. This is your backup.

6. Paste the file copied in step 3. You now have c:\windows\system32\termsvr.dll again.

7. Run the corresponding .bat file from the files extracted in step 3.

8. Should error out - don't worry.

9. Open services.msc again and set Terminal Server (or Terminal Services) service to automatic.

10. Restart the PC and check the event viewer for logs. Test your new config by going to a new computer and using MSTSC.

If you are running your computer behind a router / wireless router, be sure that you configure it to pass the Terminal Services traffic to your computer.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By DefenderBob on Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:27:03 GMT
Gavin, with your issues with the media center extenders, you should enable failure auditing on your system and check your secuirty logs and see what is happening. You can probably just do a quick change to you local secuirty settings against the user / logon type that is happening to correct the issue.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By DefenderBob on Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:31:45 GMT
Jaykay, add the standard user to the remote desktop users group and you will be fine. OR Run SECPOL.MSC - > Local Policies - > User Rights Assignment - > Add your standard user to "Allow Log on through Terminal Services" BOOM! Works :)

The computer can't connect to the remote computer.

Remote Desktop cannot find the remote computer. Type the computer name or IP address again, and then try connecting. If problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or network.

Please help!

Well.. I tried all the steps mentioned above on my Vista HP 64 bit laptop. But with no success...

Finally found the "TeamViewer" software which does teh job for me..

http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx

This is very good in terms of performance and quality. Thanks for the TeamViewer team for giving this for free for personal use when microsoft has disabled Remote Desktop on Vista HP and asking for another $199 for upgrade to ultimate.

I was able to get it working on SP1 (with the termsvr_sp1 patch) ; updated to SP2 and as of then I cannot access terminal server. Once I got that my credentials do not allow access, and after that - cannot connect.
It is all on home LAN. The IP address of the remote server changed (by DHCP, as I rebooted my home router), and accordingly I have changed the IP address to access.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Also - is there a way to access with the remote computer name instead of the IP address?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Madu.. on Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:12:36 GMT
Use TeamViewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx) or crash ur computer by running those batch files.. luckly I had a backup and restopred my Vista HP back..

Does this hack allow connections in both directions?
I want to control my laptop which has VistaPremiumSP1, with desktop XP Pro.
Even after trying the hacks, Vista does not have the dialog...."Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" in the Remote tab of System Properties. I was able to control the XP box from the Vista Box, but not the otherway around. I connect with IP address, but the XP machine cant even find the Vista machine.

Tried running premium.bat on my Vista Home Premium computer. Appears to have completed - also added a Norton Internet Security rule to allow two way communications for port 3389 for computers in a range inside of my network. Tried remoting from a Win 7 RC computer. No good - told that Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer, and gave 3 possible reasons why, none of which seem to apply.

First question - Should this work if I am running Win 7 Ultimate to connect to Vista Home Premium? If yes, than I need to investigate further. If no, so be it....

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Matt on Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:31:05 GMT

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Ritesh on Sun, 30 Aug 2009 07:44:29 GMT
I am trying to remote in to my laptop (home premium) to my desktop (home premium too) and vice versa. After using the bat, i was able to remote in from the desktop to the Laptop, but still not the other way round. Checked all kinds of security/remote/network settings, apparently and they are both at the same level. Please suggest why this is not working in both directions.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By Aaron on Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:50:44 GMT
guess it doesn't work with vista home premium sp2. will try with teamviewer

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Keith on Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:08:06 GMT

Aaron, I was able to get this to work with SP2. When I tried it the first time it didn't work. The term svc ran but I could not connect.

What I did was run netplwiz from the Run command. It pops a dialog to admin User Accounts.
I only have one user account so, on the Users tab of the dialog I selected the only user and clicked the Properties button. On the properties dialog, click the Group Membership tab and add the user to the Administrators group (assuming it's not selected already. It was NOT on my user).

Click OK and OK again. Then reboot.

I then logged in as that user and reran the batch files with the user as admin and I am now able to connect.

HTH.
Keith

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

I'm running Vista Home Premium with SP2. No matter what I do, I cannot get Terminal Services to listen on port 3389. I'm running the batch file as administrator and everything seems to run fine but no port 3389. My guess is they changed something in SP2 that stops this from working, although a couple of people here have said it works for them. I'm not sure what's going on. I have all my antivirus software off and firewall disabled. Any ideas from anyone?

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium	By nix on Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:13:03 GMT
Had the same problem. On your RDP Client, mine was XP, in the options somewhere, select use authentication. I then got a prompt about a certificate but I got in. Now, my problem is getting in from a Linux box using krdc or rdesktop. This worked before SP2 on Home Premium. I knew I shouldn't have updated to SP2. Any helpers out there on this one? Thx

If ie was used to download the zip-file it's a risk that termsrv.dll are tagged. Check Properties (General tab) for the ternsrv.dll and see if an UNLOCK button is available. If so you have to to stop terminal services an UNLOCK the file. Then start the Terminal services again.

Re: Remote Desktop on your Windows Vista Home Premium

By Glenn on Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:13:32 GMT

Hi,

Was previously running Vista Home Premium and had applied the original terminal services implementation with everything working well. After installing Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) on one of our machines, I lost access to terminal services again.

Downloaded the modified hack from:
http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/termsrv_sp1.zip

Reran the batch file, but the batch file reported the PC wasnt listening on port 3389 (RDP). Earlier messages showed the file wasnt able to stop the Terminal Services service.

I attempted to stop the service from the adminstrator account, however this was unsuccessful.

I finally fixed it by setting the service to disabled and then restarted the PC.

After the restart, lauch a DOS box in elevated mode. Run the batch file.

The batch file reported an error at the end because it was unable to stop and start the terminal services service.

After this, reset the service to Automatic, start it and run "netstat -a" from another dos box.

Check the PC is listening on port 3389 and the problem was fixed.

Thanks to those on the forum that gave me the disable service clue.

Cheers...

Worked like a charm with the SP1 version of the mod, and I have Vista Home Premium SP 2. I did had to manually open port 3389 in the Windows FW though (I thought the batch file did that?), but in any case, it works and now I can RDP to my computer from my cellphone :)

You are strongly recommended not to put your trouser legs into Ugg Classic Tall Boots by

reasons that the overlapped bottoms will press the bootleg and make the surface rugged in which case builds a bad impression.It is an annoying behavior to

wear boots veiled by pant leg because it means you don’t actually need Ugg Classic Short

Boots rather than single Ugg Classic Mini BootsTasmina UGG.Be aware of the

following situations in purchasing.Be aware of the boot Ugg new styles caused disease

the boots are too small.Some girls tend to buy a smaller size so as to make their feet slimmer.

Luxury bags like Louis Vuitton bags, Balenciaga Bags and Chanel Bagsare chased by the stars. And we often abandon them for their price. But I found that Louis Vuitton Sale, Chanel Bag Sales and Balenciaga bags Sale online are cheaper than stores. And if you are looking for Fashion Handbags, Cheap Travel Bags, Cheap Handbags, Discount Louis Vuitton, Cheap Louis Vuitton Bag, Chanel Online, or Cheap Balenciaga Bags, you may turn to them. They are so comprehensive that you must have no idea about choose to Buy Coach Handbags, to Buy Chanel Bags, to Buy Louis Vuitton Bags, or to Buy Balenciaga. I’m sure that the bags on them such as, Louis Vuitton Wallet, Gucci Handbags, Balenciaga Bags, Prada Wallets, Miu Miu Tote Bag, Louis Vitton Handbags, Fendi Handbags, Chanel Handbags, Chanel Wallets, Chanel Shoulder Bag, Chanel Bags, Chanel Backpack, Chanel Hobo Handbags, Chanel Satchel, Chanel Tote, Chanel Hobo Bags, Balenciaga Handbags, Balenciaga Shoulder Bags, Balenciaga Tote Bags, Balenciaga Top Handles, Balenciaga Clutches, Balenciaga Totes will get you confused. Personally, I prefer LV Bags, Louis Vuitton Bag is pretty and she is totally my style. And my favorite are Louis Vitton Handbags and Louis Vuitton Wallet. Search themfocus shoes and bring your favorite home.
