A copy of the original termsrv.dll is created (typically as termsrv.dll.copy or termsrv.dll.backup ) to provide a recovery path in case the patching fails or causes system instability.

If your organization undergoes a software compliance audit by Microsoft or an independent auditor, unauthorized RDP modifications will result in massive financial penalties.
