TCP/IP

good day I have a problem where remote desktop is enabled on a computer but I still cannot connect to it because the "file and printer sharing for Microsoft networks" is unchecked does anyone knows how to enable this via Group Policy instead of having to go to the machine..???

you don't need "file and print sharing" turned on to use remote desktop. I have the server service disabled on my machines, which controls F&P sharing and remote desktop to them daily. More likely a firewall issue with either the port not being open or the scope not being set right.
