System Software

RDPWrap

This is a wrapper around MS Terminal Services to allow multiple, simultaneous terminal services connections.

• This solution is sensitive to Windows updates that change termsrv.dll.
• Run a configuration check to verify that everything is OK.
  
  • The configuration INI file will probably need to be updated for any updates to termsrv.dll.
    • If an update breaks the ability to have simultaneous connections, look for a new issue.
      • Usually, the fix is to add version specific information to the configuration file.
    • Once the configuration file has been updated, terminal services needs to restart. A reboot is probably overkill, but will do the job.

Configuration Check

C:\Program Files\RDPWrap-v1.6.2\RDPConf.exe

If "[fully supported]" isn't shown, then the wrapper doesn't know how to handle this version of termsrv.dll.

If "Wrapper state" isn't "Installed", then you'll probably need to run the install script again.

Configuration File

C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper\rdpwrap.ini

Each section in the file corresponds to a version of the termsrv.dll file.

Each version of the file has two sections.

• <version>-SLInit
• <version>
