Problem
You need to enable Remote Desktop using the command or having problems doing it from the GUI e.g. group policies
Solution
- Open command prompt using an administrative session
- Type the following two commands
reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "AllowTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f
reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "fDenyTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f
- We now need to start terminal services
sc config TermService start= auto
- Now to make terminal service start every time the computer started
net start Termservice
- we need to open port that will be used by remote desktop on firewall
netsh.exe
firewall
add portopening TCP 3389 "Remote Desktop"
- Test terminal service/ RDP connection
