We use a VPN at work to access our computers remotely (from Home), and we just upgraded last summer to Vista Business. Problem: We are unable to access any Vista Business computers once they get rebooted. Fix: You have to login to the computer and go to the "remote" tab and "toggle" the Remote Desktop settings. What I mean is you have to click "Don't allow connections to this computer" then click apply. Then you have to click "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" Well this can be a real pain, if your computer get rebooted and you are not at work you have to drive into work to "toggle" the Remote Desktop settings. I was going to try to run a batch file with the RDP and fDenyTSConnections reg entries change on startup, however I tried to do it manually and I still have to use the GUI to change the settings. See where I am going with this? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks, Eddie Hello all,

We use a VPN at work to access our computers remotely (from Home), and we just upgraded last summer to Vista Business.

Problem:
We are unable to access any Vista Business computers once they get rebooted.

Fix:
You have to login to the computer and go to the “remote” tab and “toggle” the Remote Desktop settings. What I mean is you have to click “Don’t allow connections to this computer” then click apply. Then you have to click “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop”

Well this can be a real pain, if your computer get rebooted and you are not at work you have to drive into work to “toggle” the Remote Desktop settings.

I was going to try to run a batch file with the RDP and fDenyTSConnections reg entries change on startup, however I tried to do it manually and I still have to use the GUI to change the settings. See where I am going with this?

Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,

Eddie

The Remote tab of its System control panel will show only an option for Remote Assistance, not Remote Access.

Remote Desktop is also known as Terminal Services. It’s useful if the server, or PC is located miles away in remote location, and frequent trip to the site to troubleshoot, configure or manage the system is not a viable option. Although most versions of Windows operating system such as Windows 2000, 2003, 2008, XP and Vista does come packaged with Remote Desktop, however it’s disabled by default. Turning on and enabling the Remote Desktop via local console is easy, where Microsoft provides similar GUI (graphical user interface) in all editions of Windows (refer to guide on enable Remote Desktop in Vista).

It takes to much time to add them manually to each and every client... A group policy setting or something like it would be what i need.
