Remotely Enable RDP Through Registry
Description:
This is a handy trick to enable RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol for a remote computer so that you can jump over to it through RDP (Run => mstsc). Note that this uses the RPC protocol and is a sub step from the article Jumping To A Computer Through The Network.
To Resolve:
-
Run =>
regedit. -
On the File menu, click Connect Network Registry.
-
In the Select Computer dialog box, type the computer name you want to connect to and then click Check Names.
-
In the Enter Network Password dialog box, provide Administrator credentials for the computer, and then click OK. After the computer name resolves, click OK.
-
In the computer node that appears in the Registry Editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server. -
In the console tree, click Terminal Server and then, in the details pane, double-click fDenyTSConnections.
-
In the Edit DWORD Value box, in Value data, type 0, and then click OK.
-
Give it five minutes and then try to RDP to the remote computer by typing on your computer: Run =>
mstsc. You may need to reboot the remote computer for the change to take effect. To do this, from your computer: run => cmd =>shutdown -m \\RemoteComputerName -r
