But see the discussion starting from this post. ID: 61828 ·

Some operating systems (ex.Win2003 Server Small Business) have a limit on the number open terminal session, and in the case boints-client 5.10.45 is how it works (open session). And to this version isn't requested and computing the project WUProp@Home. What you say about this? P.S. Sc.exe don't support my OS Server. Unfortunely. ID: 61831 ·

I mean, it's included in Servers or at the very least in Resource Kits since a long time. Anyway, we are getting out of my comfort zone. Perhaps you could post in the S@H thread and ask for step-by-step instructions to install something newer than 5.10.45? ID: 61839 ·

Do try. The page also doesn't list 7, 8, 10 and Servers 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. And probably quite a few other editions. Is where S@H? Give me link, please. I meant the post I linked to earlier. Here it is again. ID: 61909 ·
