Here’s a pair of commands that will enable RDP on a remote workstation. The caveat is you have to run PowerShell.exe using your administrative credentials. You can use the –credential option on the first command, but not on the second (which is a drag).

Code: Select all
$Terminal = Get-WMIObject Win32_TerminalServiceSetting -computer <computerName>
$Terminal.SetAllowTSConnections(1)

This only works for Windows XP (and 2000), not for Vista. Which isn’t to say you can’t do the same for Vista, but since the security on RDP 6.0 is different, it’s a little more involved. I’ll dig it up and post it sometime…
