So how is this a substitute for remote desktop? PcHelpWare is not Remote Desktop either. RealVNC either. Both give you only black screens or problems.

And VNC is not remote desktop. You can also add a password to the VNC Server. Has anyone got around the UAC problem when running any vnc server as an application not a service called user mode in some of the vnc flavours?? Client version of Windows, Remote Desktop Connection is installed by default in all — home or ultimate. Server is what is missing. I guess the real answer is: Microsoft figured anyone stupid enough to buy a PC with a bundled operating system is too stupid to actually be able to use it.

Like remote desktop to my work pc and send emails so the bosses think I am at work when instead I am at the beach or home playing video games. It truly is my fault for buying a pc with Windows preinstalled.

An alternative is to put it in the windows startup section. And of course, firewall and router settings must allow connectivity. My laptop has a normal display, and my desktop is widescreen with aero and it will be displayed on the laptop — albeit with edge scrolling. Obviously, Remote Desktop does not work on Vista Home versions. Use RealVNC instead. Now someone hacked the termserv.

Simply download termsrv. I was frustrated too that I could not remote from my laptop with vista premiun to my desktop with ultimate. I could remote the other way of course. Last night I forwarded udp and tcp ports on my router using the desktops address and was able to remote to my desktop from my laptop using the free rdc download from microsoft.

Free RSS updates, no maintenance read support, who needs it anyway. TeamViewer is great and I am using to create a VPN between two computers, but I want Remote Desktop for its ability to keep the machine locked and still be able to use the desktop.

Then no one is messing with the mouse and keyboard while I am working. Anyone found a hack to get it on Home Editions of Vista yet? I had the problem with Remote Desktop.

In most cases you can not do this because the service is already running or you need to take ownership of the termsrv. Good luck and I it works for you. Need more details. Dear dude, Thanks so much for making this and putting it into a easy file to run.

I am running Skype autoanswer as a skype conference server for about 30 gaming buddies. This allows me to remote desktop multiple times into my vista basic box, running multiple skype instances, and manage the callers. AaronHolio, do not thank me, thank everyone who has contributed in making this hack possible.

Will this work for home basic too, because i need to connect my mac to my widows machine for work. How do add a Standard user to the remote users group under Vista Home premium? Currently, only admin level users can only connect through TS sessions. Thank you very much. I applied the batch file for Vista Home Premium in an SP1 installation, using the new file, followed the simple instructions on the beginning of this thread, and it worked like a charm I just need an extra step: allow port for the notebook in my router.

I am typing this from a remote connection TO my notebook!! Thank you again for your kindness in sharing your knowledge. Hello everyone, I have a windows vista home premium SP1 computer and a macbook pro. I downloaded the RDC for mac. How can I connect to my windows vista home premium computer? I have tried the patch as described above. Maybe the patch does something else?

What should I do? Hi, i followed the steps above and it works in my Vista Home Premium. However, I get no audio output device is installed. I wonder anyone having this problem. I get no audio either. I have to disconnect the RDC and then it will work. You saved me a lot of trouble. Its stupid of microsoft of cutting their own products. Money sure can make do some crazy stuff…. I had to do small changes on the premium.

Also I had to open manually the port in the windows firewall. Probably because of translations the patch did not open automaticaly. Marcelo, could you send me your modified premium. And I found another little issue that may be related to this. I need to disconnect and reconnect the mouse. It drives me crazy! It works fine to me. Just used premium. Thank you so much for this… I thought I would have to buy ultimate for my new laptop but this saved me a lot of money!

Just to note to others that may be having troubles with this, ensure you have downloaded Service Pack 1. Terminal Services never respond during the check when running the batch file. As some of you found out, the batch files does only do well on english Vista versions.

To make the batch files language independent, change the line with the icacls command to:. Thanks James! That made all the difference for me and my swedish edition. After reading all of the comments I believe that I have a diferent problem.

Login has administrator when i connect to a XP host i can do everything normal, but if I login has a user the shift key, the ctrl key and the selection with the mouse stop working.

What can it be? I need to uninstall the remote desktop. I install it with the termsrv. Its a Vista Home Premium. Could you help me? Have you got a hacked.

Thanks Man!!! Your a life and time saver!!!! I also had a problem with Premium SP1. So basically what I did was:. Ran premium. Curse for a while that nothing is working 3. Went to Safe Mode 4. Copied termsrv. Booted to normal windows mode and voila! Man, this is truly cool. After updating to SP1, I ran the batch file as administrator. The only thing I had to do afterwards was to enable port on the windows firewall.

OK, after more experiments I have found out it is problem with Veriface face recognition on Lenovo notebooks which is part of Logon process. This is my updated observation: 1. Yes, i forgot, i have the same problem when i try to show RDC to my friends who have Lenovo notebooks.

You are my hero. Thank you soooo much for providing this. It worked flawlessly for me. Bye bye pcanywhere, VNC, and all other junk. I execute two times the premium. And now its also saying that the service is not listening even though i disabled UAC and set up the port forward on the router and put an exemption in the firewall. Frans, thanks for this! Thank you for the updated files for Vista HP sp1.

This was the first solution I have found that works. I am one very happy camper now, as I can remotely access my home pc now when I am on the road. Frans Thank you soo much. I tried a few of the other tweaks, and this one worked perfectly. Thanks again. Questions: Am I trying the correct computer in Remote Desktop? I have the default Windows firewall, should I worry about the port being blocked there? Found this issue, it was my firewall. Also, my wireless network always shows disconnected even though it is connected.

How do I remove this patch from my system to see if the problem goes away? Well, i had the same problem when i tried to apply this patch without SP1, did you do the same? Anyway, i did a system restore and the problem got solved. Router is setup to forward to go to Vista machine. But what about concurrent sessions? I had a patch that enabled this pre-sp1, but after installing the service pack, it stopped working. Does this patch allow concurrent sessions?

I think it is because the script cannot shutdown the service properly. Tried this on a clean install of Dutch Home Premium sp1. After applying the patch some kind of hosts process crashes, followed by the dns client service, local network awareness service and the terminal services service. I assume that the original file cannot be just copied back to system By the default users with no password blank cannot login via RDP.

This can be changed in local security policy. Create a separate user for RDP. It should be in admin or in the RDP group. To allow for auto login with the user with blank pwd, go to local security policy and deny local login for the rdp user. This user will now not appear in the login screen. Is there a solution to this probelm? I did this on Vista Home Premium.. Any help or links to a good site on the whole shebang would be nice. Hi — Thanks for coming out with this patch.

I have a new laptop and followed the directions, but it still will not let me connect. I downloaded the files from the link from the article at the top as well as the one way at the top. The firewall port with tcp was added. I am on a hardwire ethernet with a computer that can connect. Is there some goofy thing I need to disable? What am I missing? Is there some debugging I can do? At the end of the batch file it looks to see if the tcp port is listening. Did it report that it was working?

I now have the hacked Termsrv. However, on my other PC, when I fire up RD, it says that there are no computers on the workgroup containing terminal servers. Have you tried just using the IP? I figured out my problem. The RDC has an advanced tab that has server authenitication in it.

I am not sure if I needed this fix or not since I only use it as a client. The port addition information in the firewall was useful, though.

First of all thanks to all of you who develped the patch, put on network and then are supporting the process of applying including those who reply on this list. I have vista Home premium with sp1. I created new account on Vista machine with Administrator privilages.

I can now remote to my desktop home prem sp1 from my laptop xp pro sp3. If you do this, can you see the Vista login screen coming on your XP machine?

My problem however is that when I connect via mstsc. I am wondering if its the windows policy that I must adjust so it will be me get in remotely. You guys are amazing! Then I found you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I live in a small apartment, and my computer tower based is across the room where i can see it.

I should spend time on google before i go start scewing with networking properties. Done all the steps with no error message. But i cannot see the options which are available on vista ultimate for remote desktop. Any help would be appreciated. Incase you are having any of the troubles I was having this is what I did:.

You will then need to add a service: in this case we are adding a service for incoming connections on TCP starting and ending on Then, download the file at the top of this page and follow the instuctions. This runs a script which enables remote desktop connection listening by replacing an original. To check this is all OK you can type netstat -a into cmd and this will list what all the ports are up to. I then went to dyndns.

When you run remote desktop connection on your phone it wants to know 4 things: Computer — this is the computer you want to connect to which I am identifiying by the dyndns name myhomecomputer. Domain — I left this blank but if I do need to fill it in for any reason I will be back here to tell you all about it. Since you have done so much research already, could you help me figure out how to get audio from RDP connection?

I managed to get my vista premium act as a Host and I am able to use my xp desktop client to connect to vista premium host machine. Only problem, no audio even though I checked the bring over audio option on the client. There is a setting called Audio Mapping that needs to be enabled and its on the terminal server config.

Unfortunately, vista premium does not have that utility. Nor do I know which registry entry to change for this. Any idea? I would love to get the Audio brought over from my vista premium host. I do use Orb for media streaming to my xbox.

Still thought it would be nice to get the audio mapping working. Guess what I have now is better than nothing after all….

Hi to all the developers and patch makes you work is great although after reading through this thread for 3 days now and trying all the techniques mentioned i cant seem to get remote desktop working. Have you tried changing you passwords on both machines and try that? I have read somewherre that unless you have password protected accounts which use the login screen you will not be able to use remote desktop — not sure if this is true as I do use password protected accounts.

Oh update on using remote desktop from a mobile phone htc tytn2 I have not used it on GPRS and it it amazingly fast! U can even use accounts without any password to connect to RDP. Now u can login with blank password.

Hi cres yes i have tried with and without passwords i have also tried different usernames and different passwords i am lost with ideas now. The patch works on all versions of windows vista just as long as you apply it in safe mode then is all good.

Vista home premium sp1; trying to connect from vista home basic. Installed the patch, created a new admin user with a password. When I try to log in with that user the screen flashes, but then nothing happens… it just goes back to the front screen of the RDP client. I got it work on my Vista 64bit. Get yourself a free no-ip account for ease from no-ip. The key is you need your internet IP address and not your network ip. Hi Jonte.

Thanks, yes I have that file, but I need the orginal termsrv. Click the local resourses tab there is may be local drives there or click the more button and tick the drives on the connecting pc you want to include.

Now when you connect the remote PC will have in my computer its drives and your drives on your connecting pc. BUT it can be slow. I have installed the termsrv. The port is set up fine also, as it claims also that it can listen through that. What is going on? It would be very useful if you could release this same package with the terminal. I just got a new 64 bit machine and really would appreciate this working.

Would anyone care to elaborate on step 4 for me? I was fine with all the other steps but am clueless here What is and how do I run a batch file for my edition of Vista? Thanks so much. I think I have a voodoo system here. I have a Home Premium 64 machine on which this worked. 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.

This is a great hack and all comments here were a BIG help. Could it be because certain functions are locked out of vista home premium, and I would need a seperate hack to file share through RDC?

I wonder. I tried manually starting the 2 terminal services services and still, netstat -a does not show it yes i have it on port in registry. I got the error and tried to fix it , found an article that stated that you should set the service back to Network service without password. This does not work for Vista Home Premium 64bit. Only 32bit. So i replaced to old. Now when i try to connect from my xbox to my pc it doenst work. And i think it has something to do with the register i did read it somewhere..

My sessions keep freezing up. Is anyone else experiencing these problems? Can anyone confirm if they have gotten this to work after the latest batch of MS updates as of Oct. I have premium sp1 on my desktop pc and followed the posted steps and did a little bit more.

After that, it worked like charm. Extra steps that I did: 1. Assigned my desktop pc that is wire connected to my router static IP address within the range allowed by my router.

Configured my router to forward port to my desktop pc that is wire connected to my router. After that, I could remote log into my desktop from my laptop OS xp within my home network. Also make sure you have the port allowed in firewall.

I hope that some day there will be a free alternative to RDP that will use the same protocol so that clients can interchange between the free and the Microsoft versions without any difficulties, and then it will be so easy to get remote control support on any Windows machine.

With sp1 ultimate and the good dll, in french. But i expect what they do. The best hack i see since a long time. Felicitation to your team. Beware — I downloaded the patch and happily used it for a couple of months — fantastic!

I work as a programmer so I am pretty concious of MS updates etc, which I always manually update. However MS are doing it they managed to sneak in some code that checked the termsrv. After several attempts to revert to the original version — all which failed, I restored my original system from backups. I am in no way trying to scare users into not installing — just make DAMN sure you have a complete backup of your system. I reckon the check may have come in with the Malicious Software Removal code.

Hey Frans, thanks for the amazing tutorial if i can call it that but i seem to be having a problem i think because i am kind of green to this service.

Only trustedInstaller has full control of it. Great hack, my hats off to you. I have way to many laptops and desktops in this house to not have RDP. If you find a 64 hack please post it as I have a 64 bit laptop also. This worked like a champ for me until recently. Any ideas how to fix this? The error message I get during log on is:. If I change his account type to be an ADministrator, I can then log on remotely. Of course I would prefer to not give him admin priveleges just to allow me to log in remotely to help him fix problems….

I did use this hack in the past, but due to an automatic Windows update , the hack stopped working, i. However looking at the recent comments, by David Martin, I feel a bit encouraged now.

Does the hack work for Vista premium 64 bit? If so what updated level of Windows should I be at? Does it matter? Right click computer and select manage. Hope this helps. Shantanu — thanks for the tip, but on my Vista Home Premium installation there is no Users and Groups option under the Computer Management console.

And if everything fails, try UltraVNC, its superb, with scaling and right connection settings, it can do wonders. Hi ive tried to enable remote desktop on Vista HP but it does not work. Any ideas? I tried the hack for Home Premium SP1. Is it not supposed to be there after running the hack, or is something wrong? No this will not happen. I think we are making it more complicated than required. I think the following steps should make file transfers no problem. Give the newly created username on PC1 Admin rights.

You can also map a drive, the same way.
