Hi All,

May you recommend me a solution allowing me to run a virtual desktop server under Win 7 Home Premium?
I mean I connect from my laptop/pc to my HTPC and create a NEW session (no taking control on desktop where XBMC is running)
Something like MS terminal server or nx server for Linux.

In case of Linux I use mentioned nx server, but currently my box it is AMD A6 and I use windows and here so far I found WinConnect Server but it is quite expensive...

Any hints.... Huh

?

thx

p.s. see my linux post

There is a hack to make Windows 7 support RDP sessions. As I recall it involves copying the required libraries from a Server 2008 installation. Apart from this I don't know of any way to achieve what you want.

mmm... I heard something about such tricks but I would prefer to use something more legal...

So...what you want is basically multiple concurrent Users on one System?
Here you go:

There is no (and there cannot be any) other solution; also: it is legal

It's not even remotely legal. It requires a copy of termsrv.dll pirated from 2008 Server.

Nah - if you have a server license or MSDN-Account, it should be legal.
But in any other terms: You're probably right.

Edit: Also... you're probably breaking the EULA.
But as said: There is no other solution...

Even if you own a copy of Server 2008 it's still illegal as you're effectively using more than one copy of the 2008 code when you've only paid for one.

Okay - well... no sense in arguing here, but that depends a little bit on where you live. Because you break the license agreements, not the law.

To make a long story short: It probably isn't legal, so decide wether you want to use this patch (illegally) or you have to switch to a true multi-user OS (like Linux Wink

) - there is no other solution,

anyway... I went for this and it works like charm Wink

(let say I use it just for testing)
