No Remote Desktop Serivces Available in Group Policy?

  • 772

I have a Windows Server 2008 SP 2 Standard domain controller. Attempting to enable RDP on workstations throughout the network using Group Policy. Everything I see says to go to Computer Configuration-->Policies-->Windows Components-->Remote Desktop Services. But when I open up Group Policy using GPME, there is no Remote Desktop Services folder. Thoughts?

    Expand Computer Configuration – Administrative Templates – Windows Components – Remote Desktop Services – Remote Desktop Session Host – Connections.

    Or if doesnt' exist always you can configre using registry:

    • Expand Computer Configuration – Preferences – Windows Settings.
    • Right click Registry – New – Registry Item.
    • General Tab.
    • Action :Update
    • Hive :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    • Key path : SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
    • Value name : fDenyTSConnections
    • Value type : REG_DWORD
    • Value date : 00000000 enable OR 00000001 disable
