enable remote desktop

[Michael_C]

Hi,

Is it possible to enable remote desktop in an unattended installation?

The only thing a can find is a perl script, but there has to be another way I don’t wont to install ActivePerl.

The pc’s will not be members of a domain.

You can try putting the following in a batch file.

reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v AllowTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

rem disable Remote Assistance

rem reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fAllowToGetHelp /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

If your running SP2 you will need to open the ports to allow remote desktop users to connect to your system.

Im not sure of the exact syntax but you can use the netsh command to open TCP port 3389.

netsh firewall add portopening /?

or u can just add this to ur winnt.sif

[TerminalServices]
AllowConnections=1

and if u allow Windows Firewall by default , u will have to make what Frank said , and here is the correct sytanx to the command , add it to ur winnt.sif [GUIRunOnce] Section

netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3389 "Remote Desktop"

i think this is the easiest way

Or like that in winnt.sif :

[TerminalServices]
AllowConnections=1

And with this for the Windows Firewall:

[WindowsFirewall]
Profiles=WindowsFirewall.Default

[WindowsFirewall.Default]
Services=WindowsFirewall.RemoteDesktop

[WindowsFirewall.RemoteDesktop]
Type=2
Scope=0
