Enableing Remote Desktop on install

[arden]

Hi,

I've created my Unattended XP CD and would like to tweak it a little, one of the thinks I'm looking to do is have remote desktop enabled by default but I'm not sure what I need to do. Please advise.

Regards,

hi, arden

add this to your unattend txt file

[TerminalServices]

AllowConnections=1

Isnt that a bit dangerous? I have the opinion of only enabling remove desktop when you need it. and then set it back to dont allow!

It may be dangerous. However, if you know the IP addresses or IP address range of the machines that will be connecting remotely, you can add this in a script to run via RunOnceEx, or GuiRunOnce, etc:

netsh firewall set service type = remotedesktop mode = enable scope = <whatever scope>

That'll punch the hole in your XP firewall for remote connections, but only for the IPs or IP ranges that you want to allow.

I think you should also be able to change the default port used by regtweak if you want to.

Add this to the Unattended.txt and/or Winnt.sif

[PCHealth]
	RA_AllowFullControl = 1
	RA_AllowToGetHelp = 1
	RA_AllowUnsolicited = 1
	RA_MaxTicketExpiry = 604800

This info was found in the help file in "deploy.cab"

That's for Remote Assistance.

It's there a way to do the same thing with a batch file(or vbscript)?(remote desktop enabled & the hole in XP firewall)

;Turn on Remote Desktop

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]

"fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000

;Turn off Remote Assistance

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]

"fAllowtoGetHelp"=dword:0

[InTheWayBoy]

This will do it from WINNT.SIF:

[TerminalServices]

AllowConnections="1"
