   So great to see your win2003 terminal server patch. Does it work on win2003 R2 SP2 as well? Thanks again.

2. Remko September 8th, 2008 at 16:25 2

   @ghost2k: There aren’t any functional differences between 2003 and 2003 R2 as far as Terminal Services is concerned. What build number of termsrv.dll does your r2 have?

3. ghost2k September 11th, 2008 at 12:46 3

   You are right. R2 is the same build no. Tested with positive result. Btw, will you work on windows 2008 as well? Thanks again.

4. ecards September 16th, 2008 at 17:56 4

   This is the greatest patch in a long time – Thank you!

   I need it just for 1 person – Sometimes I log in on multiple machines and don’t want to constantly have to log out to keep my balance at 2 or less.

   The only thing missing is a Server 2008 patch, but I know not everyone has upgraded yet (including us).

5. Remko September 17th, 2008 at 10:07 5

   @2008 patch: I have begun looking at this, unfortunately the structure of 2008 Terminal Server is really different so I need to find where the check is done.

6. loyz September 18th, 2008 at 17:07 6

   I’ve tried to patch the termsrv.dll with your patchdata.pat using vpatchprompt.exe, and the new termsrv.dll dated at march 2008, (old termsrv is feb 07). Copied to dllcache, rebooted and checked that the patched file with new date still intact in system32 folder. i still restricted to 2 connection.. may i have your pacthed termsrv.dll? thx..

7. loyz September 18th, 2008 at 19:09 7

   it worked, apparently when copying the patched file, we must login on safe mode. thank you very much..

8. Gerdus September 23rd, 2008 at 10:45 8

   Excuse my ignorance, but how do i patch the file with vPatch?

   Thanks

9. Swarlos October 4th, 2008 at 22:14 9

   Hi Same question,

   In order to use the patch file, I have to rename from “PatchData.pat” to “termsrv.dll” ?

   or I have to do somthing else?

   Do yo think it works in spanish version

10. Edgar Pajuelo October 7th, 2008 at 19:03 10

    Hi same question…
    How do I use the .pat file?

    thanks in advance…

11. Remko October 7th, 2008 at 19:24 11

    How to use the pat file:
    1) install v-patch
    2) from the vpatch directory launch vpatchprompt.exe
    3) vpatchprompt will ask you for the following files:
    – Patch file (the .pat file).
    – Source file (termsrv.dll).
    – Destination file (the patched termsrv.dll).
    4) now replace termsrv.dll as instructed in the post & reboot

12. Edgar Pajuelo October 7th, 2008 at 19:50 12

    hey loyz could you send me the new dll…
    my email is… edgar.pajuelo@gmail.com

    tks…

13. Edgar Pajuelo October 7th, 2008 at 19:56 13

    Hey Remko… i got the message “No suitable patches were found” I follow all the instructions carefuly…

    PLEASE could you send me the patched .dll…
    i would appreciate it.

    edgar.pajuelo@gmail.com

    Thanks in advance.

    Edgar

14. Remko October 7th, 2008 at 20:13 14

    Edgar, I just retested and it works nicely for me. Are you using another build of termsrv.dll of perhaps another language (then English)?

15. Edgar Pajuelo October 7th, 2008 at 21:26 15

    Remko, the version is 5.2.3790.3959 and the language is Spanish std edt. 2003 R2.

    I tried with english and work fine!!!

    Can I repleace my new patched english version intead of my original spanich version to work it out?… or just install the server in english..

16. Harold October 13th, 2008 at 8:42 16

    I’ve used this patch succesfully on a Server2003 x86. It’s working great! Thank you for that!

    I also planned to use this patch on a server 2003 x64, but it won’t work out on x64? Keeps saying “No suitable patches were found”
    Version of termsrv.dll: 5.2.3790.3959
    Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x64

17. Gerdus October 13th, 2008 at 15:02 17

    Does anyone have a link to “termsrv.dll” build 5.2.3790.3959

    i am running 5.2.3790.0 and the patch is not working.

    Thanks

18. Octavious October 21st, 2008 at 9:59 18

    Hi, tried to follow the directions to install this patch. I’m a little lost and it did not work on my 2003 server. Please verify if I followed your directions correctly:

    How to use the pat file:
    1) install v-patch VPatch.exe and the
    [I download both the VPatch.exe and vpatch32.zip file from your Vpatch link at the top, and the PatchData.pat file]. I executed the VPatch.exe

    2) from the vpatch directory launch vpatchprompt.exe
    [From the Vpatch folder created by the vpatch32.zip, I executed vpatchprompt.exe]

    3) vpatchprompt will ask you for the following files:
    – Patch file (the .pat file).
    [I pointed it to the PatchData.pat file]

    – Source file (termsrv.dll).
    [I pointed it to this file which I found in c:\windows\system32]

    – Destination file (the patched termsrv.dll).
    [I entered termsrv.dll and saved it on my desktop.

    4) now replace termsrv.dll as instructed in the post & reboot
    [I renamed the original termsrv.dll in the system32 folder to oldtermsrv.dll, then I copied over the termsrv.dll file from my desktop into the system32 folder.

    It doesnt work. Im sure Im missing something here. I couldnt really couldn’t understand these directions:

    Replace termsrv.dll in c:\windows\system32\dllcache
    If you have the installation cd/dvd (i386) folder copied to your harddrive replace (use the compress command) or remove it there as well
    Now rename the original file in your system32 folder and place the patched version
    Reboot

    Please provide a bit more detail to the procedure. Im sure Im pretty close and I really need to have this patch installed.

    Thanks,
    Octavious

19. Octavious October 21st, 2008 at 10:16 19

    Never mind… I guess I just needed to read the entire thread and found that all I had to do was login in SAFE MODE and replace the file. IT NOW WORKS!

    Thanks so much!

    Remko,
    I love this patch and have tried it and it works great!

    I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I’m having with terminal services. I have a windows Xp pro client trying to connect to a windows 2000 terminal server. i get the following error…

    The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error inthe licensing protocol. Please try connecting to the remote computer again or contact you server administrator.

    I have tried the following…
    1) deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/187614/en-us).
    2)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921045/en-us
    3)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315277/en-us

    My license server is windows 2003 and the terminal servers are windows 2000.

    on my windows xp pro i was missing the license000 HHKLM\Software\MicrosoftMslicensing\Store\license000
    I added the key and it still did not work.

    here are the event logs from the windows 2000 terminal server…
    Event Type: Information

    You can also use Replacer to bypass Windows File Protection:

    http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/

    Simply drag and drop the old file with the new file. I had to use this because restarting in safe mode was not an option for me due to the server being remotely hosted (which also hosted a remote KVM).

24. sean November 6th, 2008 at 1:53 24

    Terminal serves on windows 2003 server is kind of a pain in the butt, because it looks more complicated then it actually is. I got it working by just installing the services in the add windows components. Then selected the terminal services under administrative tools. Then activated the server, then installed CALS. Basically it was a hunt and peck affair. Dont give up. Tampa Computer Repair

25. Qewrty November 6th, 2008 at 21:17 25

    Please. Anybody help me with the patch for the Spanish version????

26. mjnz November 7th, 2008 at 0:42 26

    Thanks so much! I installed this onto SBS 2003 (with SP2) and it worked a treat. (as I was rather annoyed the way they changed the remote desktop model between SBS 2000 and 2003 and removed application server mode…)

    I had a couple of issues initially as there were some other termsrv.dll files floating around so I created a small batch file for future use (run it from the same folder as your patched termsrv.dll)

    copy termsrv.dll %systemroot%\ServicePackFiles\i386 /y
    copy termsrv.dll %systemroot%\system32\dllcache /y
    ren %systemroot%\system32\termsrv.dll termsrv.dll.orig
    copy termsrv.dll %systemroot%\system32 /y

    Hey Remko…

    i still got the message “No suitable patches were found” I follow all the instructions carefuly and did it on safe mode

    the version original termsrv.dll 5.2.3790.1830

    PLEASE could you send me the patched .dll…

    hwisnu@gmail.com

    Thx.

    Wisnu

28. Remko November 11th, 2008 at 18:28 28

    @wisnu: you have the wrong version of the dll, you need to update with latest 2003 service pack.
    If you do want to patch this version you can try this:
    Open in in a hex editor and look for these hex byte sequence:
    8bff558bec568b7508578bf98bcee831feffff
    and replace with this:
    31c0c2040068b7508578bf98bcee831feffff

29. Wisnu November 13th, 2008 at 10:23 29

    I tried to edit and replace the hex byte, but i got this message “Hex String Invalid”

    Is there missing number on replacement hex byte ?

    Thx,

    WSN

30. shannon November 14th, 2008 at 18:01 30

    hello Remko

    I’m trying with no avail to get this patch working. i keep getting the “No suitable patches were found” when i run the patch. Do i have the wrong version of the patch file?

    Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

31. Remko November 15th, 2008 at 0:24 31

    @shannon: same as the other guys with problems: you are trying to patch a dll of another version/build or language. VPatch checks the MD5 hash of the file and refuses to patch if it’s not the same.
    You should either update or see if you can replace the hex bytes with hex editor (see comments above and diff in post)

32. Wisnu November 15th, 2008 at 3:53 32

    Remko,

    I followed your instructions , Installed Service Pack 2 on my Server 2003 and patched the DLL.

    Current termsrv.dll version 5.2.3790.3959

    It’s Works.

    Thx so much,

    WSN

33. thwsky November 16th, 2008 at 3:45 33

    thank so much,

34. corsakid November 17th, 2008 at 13:09 34

    Thanks ever so much. It appears to be working perfectly. Great work Remko!

35. Pol@r1s November 21st, 2008 at 23:40 35

    Remko,
    First of all, I’d like to appreciate what you have already done with Terminal Services!

    Now I’m looking forward for windows x64 patch or dll. And if you don’t have enough time to make it, would you be pleased to explain how to modify the dll?
    I tried to find similar subroutine in disassembled x64 dll, but I failed. I used IDA program to do the task. It was my first attempt to do smth. about disassembling.

36. Rick November 25th, 2008 at 10:24 36

    Instead of rebooting, can you just stop the “Terminal Services” service before updating the file and then restart the service afterwards — like with the patch for Server 2008?

37. hernan November 27th, 2008 at 0:06 37

    hi friend

    i try patch my file and dosn´t work, everytime say “No suitable patches were found”

    please how to patch the file correctly o somebody have a patched termsrv.dll?

    please write me o send me a file or help

    hernan@hrd.com.ar

    thanks

38. Remko November 29th, 2008 at 14:50 38

    @Hernan: No suitable patches were found simply means you are trying to patch another build or language than mine. Try to replace the hex bytes with a hex editor.
    @Rick: You really need to reboot on 2003!
    @Pol@r1s: I have already done the X64 patch and it’s working. It will be published soon.

39. hernan November 29th, 2008 at 15:15 39

    Remko. Hello, yes it’s true, my windows 2003 is in spanish… Can i use the dll file for a windows in english?

    thanks people !!!

40. Rick December 1st, 2008 at 3:32 40

    @Renko, yes, though I think that’s only because the TS service is one of the few marked as “NOT_STOPPABLE.”

    It is killable, however, since it is in its own svchost.exe.

    You can find its PID with this:
    tasklist /m term*

    You can kill it (stop the service) with this:
    taskkill /pid xxxx /f

    (Where you substitute the PID number for xxxx)

    Then upon starting the service back up, I would think it would read the patched version of the DLL.

    Thanks for figuring out the patch, btw, since this is the only place I could find how to do it.

    Did you have to use a debugger to find it (which I assume is what the code above is from)?

41. hernan December 2nd, 2008 at 5:07 41

    Please, somebody help me, realy need this dll patched. If your termsrv.dll patches is working, send me it for mail.
    hernan@hrd.com.ar

    Thanks for ever !

42. Pasha December 5th, 2008 at 16:13 42

    Dear Remko! You wrote on November 29th to Pol@r1s
    “I have already done the X64 patch and it’s working. It will be published soon.”

    Could you please put it to download section. I think it will make your site super popular! Because it is really helpful stuff for Windows XP x64 users who wanted concurrent sessions in it. And many people are waiting for it since Windows XP x64 was released. Thank you in advance dear friend!

43. Pol@r1s December 6th, 2008 at 14:54 43

    Dear Remko!
    I’m so glad that you have done the patch for x64 versions! I can’t wait for downloading it! 🙂

    Thanks a lot for your works!

44. Curiosity December 6th, 2008 at 19:22 44

    Dear Remko! We’re all hoping that you will place it to your download section! Thank you in advance!

45. Remko December 9th, 2008 at 13:57 45

    Windows 2003 X64 patch is online here: https://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2008/12/09/windows-2003-x64-terminal-server-patch/

    btw: there is a Paypal Donate button in the top right corner if anyone wishes to donate something…

46. Logan December 9th, 2008 at 21:05 46

    I’ve SBS 2003.
    With the original termsrv.dll, the first two clients connected successfully, the third connected but when hit enter after have typed username and password, the max connection error appeared.
    I’ve applied the patch: now two connections are working well like before, but the third client has a connection refused.
    Do you have any ideas?

48. Remko December 10th, 2008 at 0:20 48

    @Logan: please check this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server, value UserSessionLimit. What is it’s value?

    Also check if you have a MaxInstanceCount value.

    Dear Remko,

    I just wanted to confirm that there are really many people who are awating for Windows XP SP2 x64 patch, and that I am amongst them. Thanks a lot for what you are doing, and look forward to seeing (and getting!) your work done regarding XP x64 as soon as possible.

    How can this be done under Windows 2000 Server?

51. salalex December 14th, 2008 at 21:50 51

    Thanx for the hard work.
    I’ve read all the comments and can’t wait get it going, however
    – my termsrv.dll is old 5.2.3790.0 and I couldn’t find the mentioned hex-string in my dll (allthough there was some partial occurrence)

    ? is there another way for me to patch (a hex string for my version), without an update, or can I just replace mine with a newer version without updating the whole system – will that work ?

    (maybe this might help – I found an occurance of 08578bf98bcee8 at 21fb9, part of the code starting at 21f90 is: B813000AC05EC20400568BF1C7061853

    Thanx in advance!

52. Remko December 14th, 2008 at 22:04 52

    @salalex: I don’t think you can just replace termsrv.dll with a newer version. There are other (dependant) files like winsta.dll and so. I would advise to update to service pack 2. Regarding this specific build I well sent you a personal msg.

53. salalex December 14th, 2008 at 23:32 53

57. trendy January 11th, 2009 at 7:34 57

    Does this patch also works for Remote Desktop or it’s only suitable for the Terminal Services role?

58. Remko January 11th, 2009 at 11:17 58

    Cathing up on some old comments (been busy):
    The patch for 5.2.3790.0 is on request, I might publish it but I think one should upgrade to sp2 anyway 😉
    @trendy: The patch is for Remote Administration mode (the default) and not for Application Mode/Terminal Services role

    2- Copy the file termserv.dll from C:\WINDOWS\system32\

    and paste it with 2003X64TSPatch.exe in the same folder

    3- click patch and take the termserv.dll to paste it to

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\

    4-Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Terminal services

    5-Restrict Terminal Services users to a single remote session -> DISABLED

    Go to Windows\system32, rename termserv.dll using F2 then paste hacked version!

    Replacament string should be

     Hi,

     I’ve patched a Windows 2003 R2 sbs (FR).
     The problem is after I’ve replaced the dll files, The remote desktop seems to not work.

     It says that the client can not join the remote server…

     Anyone already had this issue ?

     Thanks.

114. spawny May 5th, 2010 at 11:33 114

     Ok,
     In fact I’ve copied the dll first in system32 directory then in the dll cache repository.

     You have to respect the copy order => dllcache => system32

     Now it works 🙂

     Thanks

125. David September 21st, 2010 at 19:33 125

     I have the same question as abd, does the patch basically crack the concurrent connections?
     Cause what I am experiencing is that the server is asking to connect it to a terminal license server in the next 80 days.

     I guess this doesnt crack the CALS.
     This was tested on a windows 2003 enterprise r2 server.

Which is the new file, the target file and so on.

     I really appreciate your work and am waiting for your reply to apply these setting.

150. Shane August 1st, 2011 at 0:58 150

     I wanted to say thanks for this workaround. I recently had to reconfigure a network for a client. My bosses told me to buy a 5 pack of Terminal Services (now called Remote Desktop) licenses for Small Business Server 2003 for our client. After buying them which was $449.50, I added them. I was able to add them with no problems, but SBS 2003 will not hand out the licenses to users. I found out a few hours later that SBS 2003 does not support Terminal Services/RDP Application mode.

     Basically it was a real pain in the as*. I remoted into the server over the weekend and emailed myself the termsrv.dll file. Used your instructions to patch it. Then went to the client’s office early Monday morning and patched the server. It worked the first time. If I knew this beforehand I would not have bought the licenses, but at the same time if MS were to ever say anything about the patched server, we could always say “Well we bought the licenses that your (Microsoft) told us to buy and they are still installed on the server” I contacted MS before buying the licenses and CLEARLY told them I was buying them for Small Business Server 2003, they referred me to CDW who I also told that I was using SBS 2003. Neither company said anything about SBS 2003 not being compatible with Terminal Services Application mode.
     Basically both companies just wanted my $500 bucks. I thought it was strange when I received a .iso CD image of MS Virtualization Server and another updated setup of MS Virtualization Server, but did not get my licenses until the next day. I read that you can somehow use virtualization server to setup a virtual terminal server. We were almost over budget and I did not have the time to learn that process.

     Your patch saved me ALOT of pain and agony. I appreciate it and will make a donation asap.

     Thank you dearly.

151. Shane August 1st, 2011 at 1:05 151

     Damian you have to use that TS2003 zip file (.pat file) to patch your termsrv.dll file from your server.

     Remko gave clear directions:

     How to use the pat file:
     1) install v-patch
     2) from the vpatch directory launch vpatchprompt.exe
     3) vpatchprompt will ask you for the following files:
     – Patch file (the .pat file).
     – Source file (termsrv.dll).
     – Destination file (the patched termsrv.dll).
     4) now replace termsrv.dll as instructed in the post & reboot

     You need to copy termsrv.dll from your server and patch it using v-patch. Then copy it back to the server (in safe mode) in the order given here:

     If you are going to replace termsrv.dll please note that it’s protected by Windows File Protection so you need to replace it in the following order:

     1. Replace termsrv.dll in c:\windows\system32\dllcache
     2. If you have the installation cd/dvd (i386) folder copied to your harddrive replace (use the compress command) or remove it there as well
     3. Now rename the original file in your system32 folder and place the patched version
     4. Reboot

     I did not have an i386 folder on my c:\ drive so I was able to skip that step.

     Respect, Remko !
     Works on a virtual WS 2k3 R2 EE.

     Here is a general patch command line.

     If you have linux or “sed” and “cat” utility, you can do a patch for your localized termserv.dll (2003 server) :

     cat termsrv.dll | sed -e ‘s/\x8B\xFF\x55\x8B\xEC\x56\x8B\x75\x08\x57\x8B\xF9\x8B\xCE\xE8\x31\xFE\xFF\xFF/\x31\xC0\xC2\x04\x00\x56\x8B\x75\x08\x57\x8B\xF9\x8B\xCE\xE8\x31\xFE\xFF\xFF/g’ > termsrv-new.dll

     Is anyone using Altiris Deployment Console with this patch? It seems like since I applied the new dll over top of the old one and rebooted, I have been having issue after issue with Altiris. Sometimes clients won’t report to the server (occasionally NONE will report), sometimes jobs won’t run, sometimes I can’t remote into machines. Its usually at least one of these occurring at any given time. I have had a couple of these issues intermittently before the patch, but never close to this often. A reboot seems to fix one problem, but often brings a different one. Anyone have suggestions?

172. Remko January 24th, 2012 at 22:47 172

     @Tony K: Seems highly unlikely to me since I don’t see any relationship between Terminal Services and Altiris…

173. Tony K January 24th, 2012 at 23:30 173

     @ Remko: Hmmm, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that multiple people are logging in and using the Altiris Deployment Console at the same time (Although we were able to have 2(+ the console login) using the deployment server without the patch. I removed the patch and I haven’t been having the issues (at least that I’ve noticed. I might try patching it again and see if the issues come back.

174. fabio2x4 February 16th, 2012 at 22:37 174

     Oh boy! That’s a hell of a patch. Thanks!

175. Rhory March 22nd, 2012 at 15:52 175

     vpatchprompt.exe seems to read all the files, but it never generates me a new file. I tried making a random new file, and having the patcher save over that, but as soon as it does windows deletes it. I have tried in normal mode and safe mode on both my w2k3 server and my win 7 desktop.

     I have installed vpatch32.exe and upon executing the vpatchprompt.exe from cmd line, I get the error “Unable to open source file” when I select the PatchData.pat file.
     This is where I am stuck at right now.

     My server is a W2K3 Enterprise Edition SP2.

     The version of my termsrv.dll is 5.2.3790.3959 which resides in c:\windows\system32 folder.

     Please help as I need to run more than 2 TS sessions.

     Thanks in advance.
