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?

Under Server 2003 the key is:

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

change it from 1 to 0.

  • Thanks - though note that a reboot does not appear necessary. Worked as soon as I changed the key.

    I'd add this setting to Group Policy Preferences if you want it enabled on all your servers.

I'm not sure which key it is, but you could use IntelliAdmin Remote Desktop Enabler.

You can run RegMon at the same time to find out which key it changes.
