Symptom
You need to connect to a server but the terminal services (RDP) are not set. You want to set this quickly.
Cause
This is a very nice script for administrators
Solution
You can use the following command line and execute it. Do not forget to change the servername!
reg add "\\LubbySRV\hklm\software\policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0
This should work without rebooting the system.
