From the onsite computer run Regedit.
In Regedit:
File-->Connect Network Registry
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:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Once you've opened that key look for fDenyTSConnection
Set it to a value of 0 Connect Network Registry
