one giant,

Thanks! This is a great find for frustrated SP2 users. I’ll update the post and link to your site.

This used to work for me and it took forever to figure out why it stopped working and RDP would connect and authenticate, then just do nothing (no error)

FINALLY got it working again! here’s my findings:

I have never heard of this hack destroying wireless connectivity. Maybe try removing and reinstalling your wireless driver?

Not sure if this happened to anyone else but this .dll SEEMS to have crippled my machine. Fresh vista HP x86 build, downloaded sp1 at 1.5mb average from M$, installed, downloaded sp2 at 1.5mb average again, installed.
Ran SP2 batch file but had no luck connecting to the machine, simply installed SP1 batch file and voila was able to connect however it destroyed my wireless connectivity, am now getting less than 10kbp on a speed test.

Getting pretty sick of messing around with this, might just reimage it =/

John Knolls,

That is bizarre, and believe it or not, that’s a new one to me! Never heard that one before. What OS does your work computer have?

it works now (well, sort of). it has been working all this time but the problem is i can’t seem to connect from my work computers ( it gives me ” A licensing error occurred while the client was attempting to connect. (Licensing timed out.)”
I can connect from any other computer.

sp1 hack worked for my vista home premium sp2. however, i can’t seem to connect using a remote computer. using a computer that’s on the same network, it works perfectly (even when using the actual ip address). i checked the firewall setting, and it’s set to allow remote desktop connections from any computer on the internet. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

@ThanksAndrew,

Thanks for the tip. That’s good information to know. I think I may create a version for non-American English / non-English versions of Vista.

@castalla,

Do you have an American English version of Vista? If not, you need to change “Terminal Services” in the batch files to “TermService”. This goes for non-American English and non-English versions of Vista. Just a thought.

Further to the comment made about foreign language versions of Vista:

You will also need to change “Terminal Services” in the batch files to “TermService” if you use a non-American English language. For example, UK English or Canadian English.

I am using Vista with Canadian English and my system uses “TermService”.
