Re-Enable RDP Via Remote Registry

  • 772

I'm having a problem where for some reason, Remote Desktop (RDP) continually gets disabled on a Win2003 server. Our networking team is not doing this, so as far as I know it is not a security script that is running, etc.

In any case, I am able however to access the remote registry, since I am an administrator on the site. My question is, what registry key do I need to change in order to re-enable remote desktop?

remote-desktop windows-server-2003 windows-registry

    Under Server 2003 the key is:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections

    change it from 1 to 0.

  2. I'm not sure which key it is, but you could use the following utility. Or use the following utility and run RegMon to find out which key.
