Remote Desktop on 2008 unattended install

[nihylo]

Hi,

I've been trying for a couple of days to enable Remote Desktop with an unattended installation of Windows Server 2008 but something weird happens. All is working fine except Remote Desktop and autologon. I can "graphically" see that Remote Desktop is enabled and the different levels of the firewall are disabled but it's not working at all. When I try to disable Remote Desktop and just after, enable it, then it works! I still don't have a clue about autologon.

Here's my autounattend.xml:

I've found something: fDenyTSConnections

Am I right? (I can't test yet)
