I have not tried it, but here is a link that describes how to enable it:
Windows 7 : Enable Multiple User Access Login/Concurrent User Sessions

I just tried this method for Windows 7 RTM and it is not working.

I am not sure if this thread is still being monitored at all, but I ran into an issue with Remote Desktop that I have not been able to find an answer. When accessing my desktop system, using my home network, I click on Internet explorer and it flashes on the screen for a split second and then closes. No instances of it in the task manager. Cannot even open links from other programs (i.e. e-mails for Outlook). Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. This used to work using RDC on XP and Vista; I am just wondering if there is a new setting that I am now missing somewhere. Thank you for your time and response.

Check your RDP settings to make sure that they are not set to minimum values (i.e. dial-up). Also, check your IE itself - might be a rogue addon there that is causing it fits when you try to run it in a RD session.

Whiskey,
The answer is no. You can't run multiple concurrent RDC sessions on the same PC. You can only be logged on one at a time.

That seems to be the case, even when trying to use How to Enable Concurrent Sessions for Remote Desktop in Windows 7 RTM

NOT SO FAST...

There is a working method for using RDC to login to a machine concurrently and unseen. It is here in the forum. I will search for the thread.

Worked in pre-RTM, but is not working for me in RTM, neither 32bit nor 64bit.

Nos,
I've been using RDC with my clients that have XP for years. When I ran into this original issue with Win 7, after posting my problem on this forum, I did a ton of research and found an interesting item (can't remember where... :)). I've always changed the listening ports on systems behind the router then created specific rules to forward to the individual systems. The item I found indicated you don't have to do that. Everything is the same except for two steps:

1. Leave the listening ports all set to default (3389)
2. When a connection request comes in, it will have the "new" port attached to it (ex. 77.44.123.6:4001). The firewall rule you create will now forward the "new" port (in this case 4001) to port 3389 on the specific system you want the "new" port to access.

Using the above example, if the system you want to access is 192.168.1.35, the rule would forward a request coming to 77.44.123.6:4001 to 192.168.1.35 port 3389. It actually makes perfect sense and doesn't require modifying the registry! I've tested it and it works perfectly each time.

Clem

Exactly how I am doing it as well.

When I try to set Remote settings in the Remote tab I've only see Allow remote assistance, but nothing to select users. Is that have something with the version of the OS, or administrative privileges?
I'm using RTM Home Premium x64 and I do have Administrative account.
Any suggestions? What I did wrong?

I think it might be based upon your Home Premium versus the Business / Ultimate versions. This table may be handy: Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Team Blog : Remote Desktop Connection 7 for Windows 7, Windows XP & Windows Vista

No solution in this post by me, sorry to say.

Just wanted to say "Welcome",

and tell you that you have a beautiful name,

same as my first-born daughter.

So, "Welcome, Natasha!"

And don't worry about the English, its not a big deal... :)

(If you have XP and w7, where does the 'Ubuntu' fit?)
(This might assist the troubleshooters here.)

whiskey said:

hi, does anybody know if it is possible to login on same computer using different accounts at the same time?
i would like to use my computer though remote connection, while anyone else use it.
i did all steps in the tutorial, but currently w7 asks local user to disconnect when i'am logging in via remote desktop

thanks.

Whiskey:

Have you been drinking too much of yourself???

Think about your question... you are remotely controlling a PC, so how can 2 people use it at the same time? If 2 people cant use it locally at the same time how can they share it remotely?

But I believe you might remotely control a VM on that machine... anyone tried this?

And...

When I'm using my Remote Desktop on another computer in my home, I can access it and I did it while they remain logged in with no idea i also have control of there computer.

IT DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY... No way can you be logged in as one user and login as another without that user getting a prompt to allow you to remotely control.

The remote user gets the following message: LOGON MESSAGE: Another user is currently logged on to this computer. If you continue, this user has to disconnect from this computer. Do you wish to continue?

If the remote user chooses to continue, the other user will get the following dialog box:
