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.
