To enable RDP via command line, just edit the registry with the reg command like this:
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000000 /f

This will only work if the 'Terminal Services' service is started– ggonsalvCommented Jun 8, 2010 at 3:06

True, but it is always started by default. If somebody disabled it, run reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000003 /f and then a net start termservice Commented Jun 8, 2010 at 3:27
If you mean remotely, which isn't clear from your question. If you don't, omit step 2 and 3
- Open Regedit on a Windows workstation
- Click File > Connect Network Registry
- Enter the name of the Server
- Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
- Change the value of fDenyTSConnections from 1 to 0
