Vista home premium rdc

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. Resize this window, move it to the left of the Screen. Open C drive on local PC, resize, and move it to the right of the screen. Voila, copy from first screen to second, or vice-versa.

Did everything, and no luck. No control, just a view of the desktop. Have to click the Take Control button, and then everything was fine. Worked this way without the patch, since I had rolled everything back.

Event Xml:. Addendum to last post; This only happens when logging on through RDC, once logged off everything is fine. This happens when the account is logged in as a single user or two, makes no differents.

Wondering if this has anything to do with the modded DLL? What a great help!! I used Windows a lot, when i first visited this blog, and today, around a year since then, Normally i work on Ubuntu linux.

And let me tell you, linux rocks. Just like most people i also used to think its difficult, but now i feel it interesting, a way to learn things, and most importantly, do what YOU want to do, not what the OS wants to do. But, linux thinks its your car, and YOU should decide how it should work. And, linux provides you with freedom. All the best. I can connect to the Vista box at home when I disable the Windows firewall on the Vista box, but not when the firewall is enabled.

Any suggestions? I have modified the termsrv. Is it only possible within the same wifi network or can i connect to it from anywhere in the world? Help would be appreciated. This patch only enables RDC on your computer. If you want to use any non-administrator account from remote, add the account to the Remote Desktop users user group.

RDC is much faster and the colors are more vibrant! RDP on the laptop works with Ultimate but only allows one session. On the desktop with home premium no RD at all of course. Yesterday I found a 64 bit version, works very well, except for the installation procedure itself. Basically I think you could use the installation script and the registry file from the 32 bit version here, replace the 32 bit. Worked on orignal version.

When I run it says port not listening any more. Uninstalled service pack 1 now works. Any updates? Worked on original version. What settings are required for this at the XP end? Hey guys I made a bit from SP1 version of this if anyone is interested. Hope this helps some folks. The Terminal Services service was stopped successfully. The Terminal Services service was started successfully. After installing SP1 you must re-install the patch again because it gets overwritten by SP1.

And make sure to use the patch with the updated termsrv. Recently reinstalled the old PC, updated to SP1, applied the patch. I used it once but it has a … ahem … slight problem. Dilan, everything seems to be working. So what is the problem?

Can you open a RD on the same PC to another user account? Are you using the right dll? What error messages are you getting, if any? Any messages in the eventlogs? Dilan, on Vista home premium the hack only works with admin accounts. You only need to do this for Vista to be controlled, not to control. Does SO work. Thanks for flaming. Garbage rant from crap noob. I think the boot screen changed…. No I am just wondering what is suppossed to happen after all that clears?

A login will appear, depending on the OS type your username and password, or click your username and type your password You can also specify these credentials in the settings.

Or account 1 remote, account 2 on a different remote machine. And the server locked. The administrator account still exists in Vista but is disabled by default. Leave it that way. You should now be able to open remote desktop:. It should open a new desktop. You can then test it from another computer specifying the real address of course. On both computers check whether port is open. Worked perfectly on two Vista SP1 machines. More like a lot slower. What have I missed? I was using it yesterday fine..

The IP that ipconfig shows is the actual IP address of the laptop itself. Downloading the termsrv. Extracting to the Desktop 3. Running the premium. After reading the prompt to be successful and listening, I make sure port is indeed working. Enter the IP Address of the Router 3. Enter the User Name of the Vista Machine 4. Configure and safe the settings correctly 5. Try connecting again.

If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator. Andrew Block — Thanks so much. I tried your x64 version and it fixed my terminal services. Solid thanx. I wanna know what could have caused this, this was the only thing I did last night. Works with home premium great and no router config. Check it out. Can you please tell me how to undo that? It looks great but I will try later, so can you please tell me how to undo that?

You did run the right script. It really should work then. Big issue is that it is asking my to have login credentials. When I read some other decomentation, it tells me that to create these RDC login credentials you go tto the securities tab. The particular menu is not in my version of Vista to let me create the user login details. Can someone please let me know how they got around this, and possibly a bit of a step-by-step for the less technically minded.

Then,goto task manager. Check out what is your network username, which is displayed in the Users tab. This will work only if your account is an administrator user account. Now login with your username and password from your other pc. Note that assigning a password, and having a administrator account are compulsory. I installed the batch file successfully but could not make a remote connection. How do I test that the remote desktop server is running?

If you get a message that a connection cannot be made, there might be a problem. Hello, Can somebody pls write a step by step verification strategy to make sure that this hack is working as expected after sucessfully running the batch file and the TCP port? Many of us just do not know where to look for symptoms when remote connection does not work even after successful installation of this hack.

Is there a round about way of achieving the same thing? If not already done, add tcp port to exceptions list. Also, in services, check if any dependencies for Terminal services are not satisfied. The service is not listening to port This is what I have done to zero in on the problem.

I executed the commandlines in the batch file one by one after removing the silent mode. After applying the right version everything was OK. Remote Access looks at this entry and if it says anything but Yes then you will not be able to connect using the web page.

They have you create a reg hack which runs every 10 min fooling the WHS to think your clients are Vista Business or Higher. Posted: Sun Aug 03, pm. Just guess what version my new desktop has!!!!! O Well Page 1 of 1. Previous topic Next topic. Post subject: Posted: Sat Aug 02, am. Make sure you have saved. Time to setup your computer to read this connection. So right click the computer screen with the globe in front of it on the bottom right of your screen.

Select Network and Sharing Center. This should open a screen, select manage network connections on the right. Now change the automatically find to input this IP and enter that static IP you created Use the other two of the three or if you only have two then use them but they should be different that your created static IP. One thing to keep in my is that your connection will be the IP of the router.

So if you are trying to remote desktop connect to your network, use the IP from the status screen of the router. You may occasionally have to check to see if your IP address has been changed since service providers can change them if you are not signed up for a static IP address. This can cause connection issues. You may need to perform the take own again.

See if says listening. If not, then you have not configured the router correctly or the firewall etc. If you are using Windows Mobile 6.

Not sure why this is but if you find a fix let me know. Hope this helps and people get this to work first try. I got there by googling everything so you can find more extensive answers out there on specific questions or call an IT buddy. Again, you may want to research if you are still having issues. There are hacks to make vista do remote desktop but team viewer works for me.

I like this software when it is set up for me, but the set-up is almost impenetrable for the layperson. That said, I know these are targeted at the more savvy users, but I think they are hurting their market with the difficult set-up process. I just keeps giving me errors. I have never seen so many inept noobs all gathered together like this.

I can relate with a lot of the frustration in the comments above. But the remote access functionality has come a long way. I now use RHUB.
