Windows Server 2003: Turn on "allow remote desktop connections" remotely

If you get this:

The client could not connect to the remote computer.

Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections.
It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection.

Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact your administrator.

Try this:

1. Connect to a machine in the domain.
2. Start --> Run --> regedit --> OK
3. File --> Connect Ntwork Registry
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
5. You will find a REG_DWORD value named fDenyTSConnection. Change this from 1 to 0.
6. Start a command prompt.
7. Issue a restart of the machine that contains the registry change. "shutdown -m \\myserver -r"
