Remotely enabling Windows Remote Desktop in a Windows Domain Environment

This information is widely available but very useful so here is how I do it!

1. Run REGEDIT on any domain workstation logged in as a domain admin

2. Hit Alt ‘f’ than ‘c’

3. In the Select Computer search box, type its name in the dialog box (or of course browse for it)

4. In the remote machine’s registry browse to the following key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

5. Find the value named ‘fDenyTSConnection’ (REG_DWORD). Change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled).

6. Close REGEDIT.

7. Of course you will need to reboot the remote machine for the change to take effect. My favourite way to do that is to open the command prompt and type ‘shutdown –i’, fill in the appropriate fields and away you go.
