Remotely Enable Terminal Services

 


Overview

    Until this version of VNCScan, it was next to impossible to find a tool to remotely turn on the Windows XP remote desktop or Windows 2000/2003 Terminal Services.  If there was a tool, it certainly wasn't as easy as this!  Check it out...

How It's Done

  • Select a compatible computer from the list in a VNCScan group and choose to edit the properties.
     

  • Select the Terminal Services tab


     

  • Click the button to enable the terminal services
     

  • Test it out by trying to connect

Troubleshooting

  • Status Says Something Went Wrong - This can happen if the terminal services didn't respond to a ping at the end of the process.  It doesn't mean that it all failed, it just means that you may have to reboot the remote computer before Terminal Services are available to you.
     

  • Port 445 is not accessible - This happens if there is a firewall between you and the remote computer.  It also happens if the remote computer is not a Windows 2000 or greater computer.
     

  • Any other error .... Try rebooting the remote computer after the process has been completed if you didn't get immediate results.  Microsoft is really not very consistent on this.  Perhaps because this was never supposed to really be possible?  In most cases, a reboot completed the processes for me when VNCScan hit a roadblock at the end.
