I am trying to re-enable Remote Desktop Connection ability to a windows 2008 server after I accidentally disabled it. I know the IP address of the server where it is installed. How would I do this via SSH or another computer on the network. I really need to get my access back to the server admin settings.

  • Please be more specific about what you did to disable it.' – Shane Wealti Feb 17 '14 at 21:52
  • I was able to use remote desktop connection application and disabled it via the windows interface on the server. – hosker Feb 17 '14 at 21:54

See here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794832%28v=ws.10%29.aspx for how to enable it remotely via the registry.

But honestly this is a 2 second Google search...http://viewrz.com/video/google-it

  • I have tried that but I do not have a name of the server, only the IP address – hosker Feb 17 '14 at 22:14
  • I have done the 2 minute google search route and nothing I did try or find has fixed my issue. I have been at this for a few days now. – hosker Feb 17 '14 at 22:17

    Use the IP instead of the name then. Same things apply in that Technet article. Open regedit, choose to connect to a remote network hive, enter the IP...connect....then change the registry setting. – TheCleaner Feb 17 '14 at 22:23
  • I did that but it would not accept it. The internal ip is 192.168.0.4. Is there a specific way I have to format it? – hosker Feb 17 '14 at 22:30
  • I followed the instructions to enable RDC via the registry but it is not working for me. Any other suggestions? – hosker Feb 17 '14 at 23:34
  • @hosker An IP address is as good as a name here. If you can't connect to the IP address (perhaps because you're on a different (public?) network) you can't use this solution until/unless you can connect to the same network the machine is on (e.g. via a VPN). – voretaq7 Feb 19 '14 at 17:13
