Join Now I am remote into a server from home and need access to couple PCs in the office, but remote desktop is not enabled. How can i enable the remote desktop ? thanks Best Answer Serrano OP Don7478 Apr 22, 2011 at 13:08 UTC From the onsite computer run Regedit. In Regedit: In the 'Select Computer' dialogue make sure that the 'Look In' location is correct(should be your domain if applicable)type in the computer name or IP that you want to connect to then click Ok. Now expand: Once you've opened that key look for fDenyTSConnection Set it to a value of 0 <--a zero The computer will have to restart for the change to take effect.
