GPO for Remote Desktop and Firewall Settings



Hello, I am attempting to get the Remote Desktop feature to work.

I have a GPO that is doing some of the following according to the GPO Results
I have pasted below the settings that were applied. On the client I am
seeing the Remote assistance and the 135 port enabled, via a policy, but what
I do not see happen is the enabling of the Remote Desktop. Thus I am getting
denied access, with the error related to the system not being available.

I must have missed something obvious, but basically I am looking to enable
the remote desktop feature in which I would initiate the connection and the
user could say yes or no...rather than the user asking me for
assistance...i'll cross that bridge when I get there...

Any ideas? Thanks
J
