I suddenly could not RDP into my server after rebooting it. Turned out the Firewall was blocking me, I remotely shut off the firewall service (parallels virtuozzo panel) and was able to RDP in. When I went to add my office IP to the firewall to allow me to connect, it won't launch the control panel unless I enable the Windows Firewall. If I do that, it kicks me off of RDP naturally. So how on earth can I configure this thing?

Do not cross post. If the Question is on the wrong site we'll move it. – Chris S Sep 06 '11 at 18:18

@ChrisS It seemed to me that it fits on both sites, though probably more relevant here. – MetaGuru Sep 06 '11 at 21:27

Here is the solution!
You can also edit the settings on Registry directly (regedit), under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy. (This even works over the network, assuming Remote Registry is running.)
For Remote Desktop, under the key StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List add a string value named 3389:TCP with the data 3389:TCP:*:Enabled:Remote Desktop.
