Here is a batch file that does the same thing. Also works for XP. Save the following as: remoteon.cmd or, whatever you like. @echo off setlocal if {%1}=={} goto syntax :loop if {%1}=={} goto finish set remote="\\%1\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" shift reg.exe ADD %remote% /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f>nul 2>&1 if NOT %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 @echo %remote% NOT found. goto loop :syntax @echo Syntax: RemoteDesktop Computer1 [Computer2 .... Computern] goto loop :finish endlocal Go to a command prompt and type remoteon computername

  Thanks!
  
  Just used this on a bunch of my domain machines where this wasnt enabled. Noticed I didnt need to reboot to make it work..

  This worked great! I used PS Tools to execute the batch file remotely.

  Yeah, PSEXEC.EXE is great... In this case, you shouldn't need it, since REG.EXE can write to a remote registry on it's own. The batch script that SatKDOT wrote includes the ability to do it like this: remoteon.cmd <pcname>
