Q: How do I enable remote desktop on a domain computer from the server?
A: On a domain with admin rights you can use remote registry. Open regedit on a member computer or server. On the file menu select “connect to remote registry”. Enter the computer name you want to enable remote desktop on. Navigate to the following registry branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Find the fDenyTSConnections key and change it to decimal 0
That’s it, sometimes you have try to connect twice before it works.
You can also manage the computer remotely and add users to the Remote Desktop Users Group.
