How to enable Remote Desktop via GP?

[shakatak]

Is there a way to enable Remote Desktop via GP for users? If so, where would I find it to activate it via AD?

In the computer part of the GPO, you can define that the computer can be reached by RDP...

You can also put the user groups, you want to allow access in the restricted groups...

If no one else replies by tomorrow, I will put the exact location in this thread...

With regards,

N/M...I found it. Google was friendly to me today.

Okay, I just tested it and it doesn't gray out the Remote Desktop area on a test computer to see if I could remote into it without having to physically check the checkbox to enable Remote Desktop. Any ideas?

I read that enabling RD through GP was not possible, you say you tried it and it does not grey out?? But does the policy enable RD?? If so, what did you do because I had to use the registry to enable RD on the client machines.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

Locate the REG_DWORD called fDenyTSConnection and change the value to 0.

I have a vbscript that runs via logon script. that is the best way for me.

The policy doesn't enable RD and I don't want users to uncheck the RD checkbox. Is the only way to enable this through the domain by making a change in the registry of every computer in the domain or can I just make this registry change on one of the domain controllers and have it affect the entire domain?
