    I re-installed the update and tried the registry hack. Neither value has any affect.

    Did you re-patch the termsrv with your patcher program after removing the kb ?

    No, I didn't need to. Removing the kb was all I needed to regain concurrent RDP functionality.

    gotcha, I should read closely. anyways, if you want, try that reg setting again, after installing the KB. be good to know if that allows you to keep the new KB, and the patch at the same time.

    It's probably an intended thing to fix an exploit.
    The kb file might require additional permissions to wifi users, but it also fixes the exploits.
    If you have no worries about the exploits, I'd say just don't re-install it and ignore...

    I tried that.

    I'd like to know if I'm the only one experiencing this? If so, I'll dig further on my end.

    It says it adds admin rights or something... try messing with elevating permissions on whatever programs people are using to launch things maybe?
    I feel like this is a problem that can be solved with permissions, not registry.

    Thank you! This seems likely. I run as a Standard User with some hardened ACL's and I'm not using the standard RDP port. I'll update tomorrow when I have more time to look into it.

    KB2984972 updates termsrv.dll. I believe we need a new patch/hex edit. The attached picture shows the version number prior to the update on the left and after the update on the right. Sorry for the earlier confusion.

    Can you attach both the actual termsrv.dll files so we can take a look.

    The link Tito posted works for me with KB2984972 installed.

    Mr. Jinje,

    Here is the new Win7/64 dll

    You'll need to remove spaces because I don't have enough post count yet...

    mediafire dot com / download / 5d41blvw8okdfa4/ termsrv.rar

    The wrapper is clever but it requires that I trust someone's code. I'd prefer to have a patched dll, where I can see that there are only 20 bytes changed. I know there's not enough space to hide something there :)

    It'd be good to have the choice of patched DLL or Wrapper for Win7 and Win8 then people can pick the one that seems best for them.

    Thanks
    Lalo

    Where does the new dll come from? Is there a version for Win7 x86?

    Mr. Jinje:

    Here's a link for a zip containing the old patched and new unpatched Win7 64 and Win8.1 64 termsrv.dlls (1 zip, 2 folders, 2 files each)

    drive dot google dot com/file/d/0B7GDYqO3KOiGQWJKazllczJuTk0/view?usp=sharing

    Thanks in advance!

    I made a patched binary file for x64. This patch seems working like old one. But I didn't check about opcodes. That's came from old patch.

    Thank you!

    This works almost perfectly. At the end of the script, you try to restart the service but an Error 5 Access Denied is generated. This is because Network Service no longer has security to access termsrv.dll. I added that back, then the service starts OK.

    Thanks again!

    Lalo

    P.S. I don't need this (yet), but would be nice to have the same thing for Windows 8. AFAIK, all that is available now is the wrapper...
