For the MVP's: Windows XP SP2 will enable SP2's Concurrent Sessions
kenny-knight wrote:
For the MVP's is this true? ... from http://www.digitalbetas.com/ It appears a tiny registry change on a machine running Windows XP SP2 will enable SP2's Concurrent Sessions for Remote Desktop. This allows more than one user to use the machine at the same time. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Terminal Server/Licensing Core Create a new DWORD entry "EnableConcurrentSessions" and assign a value of 1 to it. Concurrent Sessions is now enabled. Since XP Pro and XP Home cannot support multiple users at the same time, unless one is sequestered on the disk, I don't see how this key (which may have been lifted from a server edition) could possibly have any effect on an XP Pro or Home Edition machine. -- Kent W.

I've since read more on this issue and there are reliable reports that this key will enable concurrent sessions with remote desktop under certain conditions. Of course this is beta, so the feature may not survive in its current configuration. More information will be forthcoming at release. Sorry for the initial bah-humbug response. -- Kent W.
