How to Remotely Enable Remote Desktop
Contributed by Rob Rogers 
Tagged: Windows networking This is for network administrators who use the Remote Desktop option for remote support. If Remote Desktop has been disabled on the remote computer, you can enable it remotely (as long as you have administrator rights on the remote computer). To do this:
1. Run Regedit
2. Select File | Connect Network Registry
3. Enter the name of the remote computer and select Check Names
4. Go to hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server\FdenyTSConnection=1
5. Change the FdenyTSConnection to 0
Now you should be able to connect to the remote computer using Remote Desktop.

btw, if you cannot access the registry remotely you can remotely start the service for the the Remote-Edit of the registry with
mmc compmgmt.msc “nameOfThePC”
When the service has been started on the target machine the registry can be edited remotely.

No. It is not a security risk because it only works if:
* you know the IP address of the target computer
* you have ADMINISTRATIVE login credentials
