Here is a list of the three modes that can be set in the GUI and their corresponding registry values: I used Process Monitor to spy on the registry activity of SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe when settings were applied and found the location where the relevant settings are stored. Finding out how to query the Remote Desktop settings was a little harder. Use the switch -query to get a listing of all roles and features and their current status (installed or not). Roles and features can be managed with the command line tool ServerManagerCmd.exe. Now, how can these settings be queried programmatically? SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe -> Remote -> Remote Desktop

This is configured in the system’s properties, accessible via: RDP connections can, however, be disallowed or limited to clients with Network Level Authentication (NLA). If not, it runs in remote administration mode. If the role “terminal server” is installed then the system runs in application server mode.

install.bat, uninstall.bat, update.A question on the terminal services newsgroup brought this topic to my attention: how can be determined programmatically if a Windows Server 2008 system is a terminal server and whether it runs in application server or remote administration mode? With Windows Server 2008 “terminal server” is a role that can be installed with the GUI tool Server Manager.

RDPCheck.exe - Local RDP Checker - an RDP check utility.

RDPConf.exe - an RDP Wrapper configuration utility.RDPWinst.exe - an RDP Wrapper Library install/uninstall program.RDPWrap-v1.6.zip archive contains some files: It means that if required, you can compile executables by yourself. RDP Wrapper can be downloaded from GitHub repository: īy the way, RDP Wrapper Library source code is also available. It allows not to be afraid of Windows updates. Thus, this solution will work even in case of termsrv.dll file update. RDP Wrapper does not make any changes to termsrv.dll file, it just load termsrv with the changed parameters.

This software serves as a layer between SCM (Service Control Manager) and Terminal Services and allows not only to enable the support of several simultaneous RDP sessions but also to enable the support of RDP Host on Windows 10 Home editions. The alternative to termsrv.dll file modification is the use of RDP Wrapper Library project.
