you just need to follow the procedure mentioned below:

    1. Log on to your local workstation with administrator privileges.
    2. To open the Registry Editor, select “Run” (Start Search in case of Vista 7) option from the Start Menu. Type in “regedit” and press Enter.
    3. Click to view the “File” menu. From the pull-down menu that appears, select the option “Connect Network Registry”.
    4. A dialog search box “Select Computer” appears. Browse the Active Directory to find the remote/ distant server or type the name of the distant PC within the text box. You may also click on the “Advanced” button in order to search the remote computer.
    5. After selecting the remote computer, click on “OK” button. A node representing the network registry of the remote or distant computer will be shown within Registry Editor with registry keys “HKEY_USERS (HKU)” and “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)”.
    6. Just navigate to the below mentioned registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

  1. Within the right pane, find a REG_DWORD value by the name “fDenyTSConnection”, double-click on it and alter its value data from (the default value) “1” (which means that RD is disabled) to “0” (which means that RD is enabled).
  2. Now, in the command prompt, issue the below mentioned command to reboot or restart the remote/ distant computer.shutdown -m \\hostname –r
      In the above command, you need to replace “hostname” with actual name of the distant/ remote computer.
  3. You have now enabled the Remote Desktop on the remote/ distant computer and the default RD listening port will now allow any incoming RDC (Remote Desktop Connection). However, you may change the RD listening port for security reasons.
