Option 1 - Modifying termsrv.dll
To have concurrent user sessions working in Windows 10, you need to make small changes to termsrv.dll file. This file is located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. Before modifying termsrv.dllfor the first time, you need to take ownership and assign yourself full permissions. You also need to stop Remote Desktop service (TermService) if it's running.
Windows server’s Remote Desktop feature has to be enabled; if it is not and you have not remote access to the server, to do this, use the below link: Enable Remote Desktop Service. Enable Multiple RDP Connections. To have multiple RDP connections, we have to do some configurations. Your Windows 10 question is more complex that what is typically answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro audience on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Remote Desktop forum. Feel free to post back if you have other inquiries. May 07, 2020 A remote desktop connection manager is used to manage remote desktop administration for the different connections and sessions you have. Typical enterprises have multiple Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions per day and managing these manually means having to repeatedly enter your credentials.
You can have 1 concurrent RDP session into a Windows 10 machine running Pro or Enterprise. Server OSes can have 2 concurrent sessions unless they're set up for RDS. If they're set up as RDS, they can have as many as the hardware can handle and/or what they are licensed for. 2 found this helpful. Enabling Concurrent Sessions allows you to Remote Desktop into a PC that someone else is on, under a different user account, and access the system without di.

Option 2 - RDP Wrapper
Instead of modifying termsrv.dll file you can use RDP Wrapper which acts as a middleman between Terminal Services and Service Control Manager. This way you don't need to touch termsrv.dll file. Actually, if you already modified your termsrv.dll file, you need to revert to the original version before using this method.
Download and extract RDPWrap-v1.6.1.zip (or newer), then run install.bat as admin. After installation is completed, run RDPConfig.exe. If all items under Diagnostics are green, you should be good to go.
If 'Listener state' is 'Listening [not supported]', you will need to update the wrapper's configuration (.ini) file.
With the latest version of RDP Wrapper you no longer need to update rdpwrap.ini manually. Simply run update.bat and everything will be done automatically.
If update.bat doesn't add support to your Windows version, try checking Open Issues on RDP Wrapper GitHub page. You may find how to manually update rdpwrap.ini until official support is added.

Windows 10 64bit
A lot of system Administrators actively use the capabilities of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to manage Windows OS’s remotely. When there are a few managed machines, it is possible to use either the Command line, or save past connections in the Taskbar, for example:
But when the list of servers is large, you need to connect with various accounts, quickly switch from console to console, and using this method becomes inconvenient.
Using RDCMan
To solve this inconvenience (and to systematize connections to remote desktops) you should use the official utility from Microsoft
Among the advantages of RDCMan are the following:
- Ability to create a tree-like structure for presenting a list of servers and open RDP connections;
- Ability to specify own RDP connection parameters for both the individual host and the group of servers;
- Interactive miniatures with desktop of open connections, updated in real time (with mouse control directly in miniature window);
- Possibility to connect the Hyper-V virtual machine console;
- Support for administrative connection (similar to/console and /admin switch of mstsc.exe utility).
RDCMan is small in size, does not require complicated configuration, it is simple and easy to use. Installation of the program does not cause special difficulties. RDCMan is supported by all versions of server operating systems, starting with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and client OS, starting with Windows Vista. In Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, you need to upgrade RDP client to version 6.0 (or higher).
How to Manage Multiple RPD sessions via RDCMan?
After installing the RDCMan, create a configuration file. This file will contain all the settings and we will run it to access our tree of the created servers and workstations. To create a configuration file, go to the File menu and select New.
You can create different groups of servers and workstations, and specify specific settings for each group (authorization, appearance, bandwidth etc.). To create a new group, select the created configuration (in this case it’s name Corp), open its properties and select Add group.
A large number of options are available in the settings window that appears. Specify the name of the group (HQ). On the Logon Credentials tab specify the name, password and user domain under which you will log on to all machines in this group. In our case, this will be the Administrator of the theitbros domain.
READ ALSOSetting Default File Associations using Group PolicyThe active Inherit from parent option allows you to take settings not in the group itself, but in the directory above. If you uncheck the box, then you have to set the settings of this group separately.
In the following tabs, you can change the display settings, set up the gateway, change ports, redirect options etc.
After creating the group, you should add the servers to it, only now we select the group as the object in which we will create the servers. The created server will take all the settings from the group HQ.
Connect to the whole group at once by clicking on its name and selecting Connect Group. On the right pane, a small desktop image will appear.

In conclusion, Remote Desktop Connection Manager connects with a single mouse click almost instantly, which greatly facilitates the simultaneous administration of multiple servers. RDCMan is one of the essential free utilities from Microsoft, allowing you to easily manage multiple RDP sessions. Here is another one great tutorial on how to
