Re: How to turn on remote desktop remotely

Log on to your Windows XP workstation using your administrator credentials
and start Registry Editor by Start --> Run --> regedit --> OK.

Then select the Connect Network Registry option under the File menu. This
opens the Select Computer search box.

Either browse Active Directory to locate the remote server, or type its name
in the textbox Click OK and a node will be displayed in Registry Editor for
the remote machine Now browse HKLM on AuserSRV to find the following
Registry key

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server.

Under the Terminal Server key, you'll find a REG_DWORD value named
fDenyTSConnection. Double-click on that value to open the Edit DWORD Value
box and change the value data from 1 Remote Desktop disabled to 0 Remote
Desktop enabled.

The remote machine needs to be rebooted for the change to take effect, so
open a command prompt and type the following command:

shutdown -m \\AuserSRV -r.

After the remote machine reboots, Remote Desktop should be enabled on it.

To test this from your workstation, open Start --> All Programs -->
Accessories --> Communications --> Remote Desktop Connection, enter the name
of the remote server in the Remote Desktop Connection logon box, supply your
administrator password when prompted, and you're in.

Hi all,

i just finished building a windows server 2003 enterprise edition. I then
drove the server up to another physical location our company has and set
it
up. My problem is i forgot to enable remote desktop. I have access to the
default admin C$ share. Does anyone know how how i might enable remote
desktop from the C share?

Thanks in advance,

John,
