Good Afternoon,

I am looking at setting up a new network that will have a couple servers attached to a SAN. I need a way of getting data onto the SAN so I will be attaching a PC to the same network. Now I would like multiple users to be able to RDP into this terminal (each with their own local account) at any one time. I know it is not possible on Windows 7 by default but there is a well published reg hack for it (http://www.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/how-to-enable-concurrent-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows.html)

Am I missing anything obvious when it comes to a legit way to accomplish this? Are there any software packages that would allow multiple users to RDP in (using their own local accounts)?

It’s for a business application so I am keen to keep in line with the Microsoft EULA and not hack the registry.

Cheers,

Doug

Terminal Services with appropriate CAL's.

Think it's actually called Remote Desktop Services now.

So I can enable this on the Windows 7 machine and allow other users on their windows 7 PC's to RDP into the central box?

Nope you'll need a server OS for it to work..

I think I have access to spare 2008 and 2012 licenses actually.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I will do some digging now!

What John said, it's called Terminal Services in 2008, RDS in 2012
