RDP Wrap

The goal of this project is to enable Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions on reduced functionality systems for home usage.

RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. Also this method is very strong against Windows Update.

Attention:

It's recommended to have original termsrv.dll file with the RDP Wrapper installation. If you have modified it before with other patchers, it may become unstable and crash in any moment.

Information:

• Source code is available, so you can build it on your own
• RDP Wrapper does not patch termsrv.dll, it loads termsrv with different parameters
• RDPWInst and RDPChecker can be redistributed without development folder and batch files
• RDPWInst can be used for unattended installation / deployment
• Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003 will not be supported

Key features:

• RDP host server on any Windows edition beginning from Vista
• Console and remote sessions at the same time
• Using the same user simultaneously for local and remote logon (see configuration app)
• Up to [15 concurrent sessions]
• Console and RDP session shadowing
• Full [multi-monitor support]

Porting to other platforms:

• ARM for Windows RT (see links below)
• IA-64 for Itanium-based Windows Server? Well, I have no idea :)

Building the binaries:

• x86 Delphi version can be built with Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010
• x86/x64 C++ version can be built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
