What Is RDP Wrapper?
RDP Wrapper is an open-source library for Windows that enables Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions on editions of Windows that do not include them by default. It works as a layer between the Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. The project supports any Windows edition from Vista onward and allows up to 15 concurrent sessions, with the actual limit depending on hardware and OS version.
Key Requirements and Setup
RDP Wrapper is installed on a Windows system and configured through its installer, which can run in online mode to download the latest INI configuration file from the project repository. The INI file stores the settings and per-build data for each termsrv.dll version. The project recommends keeping the original termsrv.dll file in place, since a previously modified file may cause instability. Console and remote sessions can run at the same time, and multi-monitor support is included for RDP host sessions.
Use Cases
-
Running several remote sessions on one Windows machine
-
Shadowing console and RDP sessions
-
Unattended deployment, since the installer can run without interaction
