A lots of my friends had been purchasing Vista lately and most of them selected the Home Premium edition with the missing Remote Desktop Connection server capability. Needless to say Remote Desktop had been very useful to us IT geeks. I currently have 5 computers in my home which I need to manage and the two of them running Windows Vista Home Premium including one running as our Media Centre had been my greatest headache. Initially they have a VNC server installed but I feel the performance of VNC running on both machine is poor compared with Remote Desktop.

After lingering around TheGreenButton while I tried to reconfig my Media Centre from XP MCE to Vista Premium the crazy users at The Green Button had created a hack that would put Remote Desktop back to Vista Home Premium (I say back because Vista Home Premium should be the same as XP MCE) and what's more it even allows concurrent users! After a month or so testing I am happy to say the hack is in fact working perfectly with no side effect.

Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium:

1. Download termsvr.zip here

2. Extract Termsvr.zip to a temp directory
3. Start "Command Prompt" in Administrator mode (Run As Administrator)
4. Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition
5. Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product.
6. Done
