Make the Remote Desktop server works inside Vista Home Premium ( French edition )

Posted by Nordes on December 6th, 2008 filed in Uncategorized

I actually had a lot of trouble getting this thing works because all the stuff is available for the English version only. First, you need to download the following:

You will need to unzip the termsrv somewhere on your computer and you will need to edit the bat file. You may ask why? The reason is simple, the french version of Vista doesn’t have the same service name as the English version. Instead of “Terminal Services” you should have “Services Terminal Server“. The name doesn’t really seems to be the same but it is.

You will maybe also have to change the “Administrator” name to your user name on Vista. The reason why it could happen is that you changed the Administrator name instead of creating a new user for your machine.

Note: Don’t forget to open the port on your firewall (Add TCP port 3389 in my firewall (under exceptions)) and also do a reboot after executing the “bat” file.
