Multiple Simultaneous Remote Logins

[Guest]

I would like to have multiple users be able to simultaneously remote into a
Windows XP Pro x64 machine. The machine is a high end workstation whose
resources are used by many. This is simple with Unix and Linux, but Windows
seams to only allow 1 remote desktop session at a time. Is there any
solution to this problem other than Windows server OS. IT won't allow that
OS on individual machines on the network.

Your IT people allow Windows XP but not Windows 2003?

As for multiple RD connections in Windows XP - there *is* an unsupported
method - but no supported one.

How would I implement the unsupported method? Do you have experience with
its stability?

I have no experience with it's stability, but I know it's illegal from a
licensing standpoint.

Windows 2003 tends to try to be a master browser (being a server and all) on
the network and can cause headaches for IT (seen it happen before).

Only if you have no clue in how to setup a server, I would think.
