HOW TO enable remote desktop remotely
One of the annoying situations is when you know that the Windows is up and running but you cannot make a remote desktop connection because it is disabled by default.I have been doing a project recently and was into the same situation untill i found a backdoor method to enable remote desktop via registry.
- Open your local machines registry by using regedit command in run.
- Click on File > Select Connect Network Registry.
- In the Select Computer tab put the name of the server or workstation you wish to connect or search in the network by selecting advanced tab.
- In the remote machines register goto > HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server.
- After you select the Terminal Server key on the right pane you’ll find a REG_DWORD value named fDenyTSConnection. Double click on fDenyTSConnection value to open the Edit DWORD Value box and change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled).
- Close the registry
- Restart the remote machine by using shutdown -m \\servername -r command.
- Now you are ready to make a remote connection.
