Hacking Remote Desktop into Crippled Vista Versions
Vista isn’t perfect, there’s a lot it does wrong and not much it’s truly gotten right. One of the most annoying and confusing things Microsoft has done with Vista is release a multitude of variants. Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate all different variants with different “feature-sets” at scaling prices. Opt for a version other than the pricey “Ultimate” and you may find yourself lacking some key features, like Remote Desktop. Sure, there’s VNC, but it’s not quite the same and can be a bit confusing to get up and running reliably. Microsoft will gladly ransom the locked features back to you for a stiff upgrade fee or you could always do a little tweaking and unlock the functionality yourself. After a quick search, I located the following sites. Follow the instructions here and you should be up and running. If you happen to be running Vista 64, as I am, you’ll need to get the 64 bit version of the termsrv.dll, which I found here. Happy hacking!
