How can I enable concurrent Remote Desktop Sessions in Windows 8 Pro?

We'd like to do this just like we have on Windows Server 2003.

You cannot. Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista only suppports a single remote connection. Server edtions of Windows ( 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 ) support multiple users just like 2003 does. – Ramhound Nov 28 '12 at 15:07

There is no official / approved way to do this.

Multi-user Remote Desktop (aka Terminal Services) is only supported on Server versions of Windows, and then only with the appropriate client access licensing.

There are 'hacks' for Windows 7 which modify the Terminal Services DLL to allow multi-user access.

None of these 'hacks' are official or licensed, and I've not (yet) seen one for Windows 8.

Please tell me script (hack) , what modifications should i do in Terminal Services ? – Hassan Nov 28 '12 at 16:48
@Hassan - That would be out of the scope of this website and likely very illegal. You can find the hack and required system modifications on any number of websites on your own. – Ramhound Nov 28 '12 at 17:53

There is now a patch for Windows 8 but as the other users said, there is no official/approved way to do this.
