Turn on with a GPO?

[Guest]

Am I the only one that thinks it is nuts that you can't (or I don't know how)
turn on remote desktop via a domain GPO??

My solution right now is fine, but it is just annoying that I can't use GP.
Even worse people are using reg edits, YUK!

I have been using:

wmic /node:"FQDN" /USER:"Username" PATH win32_terminalservicesetting WHERE
(__Class!="") CALL SetAllowTSConnections 1

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, in looking I found one better.
Actually don't know how I missed it before! It works like a charm. I really
don't know why this one is so difficult to google, you get a hundred differnt
solutions but nothing about this policy.

btw, it a 2003 domain with XP clients.

Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Components
Terminal Services
Allow users to connect remotely using Terminal Services : ENABLED

googling MS products is always a pain.

Most of their products have normal words for names. (word, outlook, access, excel, exchange)
Ever since the release year included naming conventions, people abbreviate them differently. (Windows 2000, Win2k, Win2000, W2k,
W2k3, W2003, 2003 Server, W2k3SP1, W2k3R2, R2)

I would love to see Vista called NT6.x and the next server called NTS6.x.

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having a better past.
