Just a small nugget as i have used this a couple of times but always forget which registry key it is!
If you have a pc your trying to Remote Desktop into but it isn’t enabled, use the remote editing features of regedit to change the following
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections
Change it from 1 to 0 and your in!
I’ve used this on XP but not Vista yet but the same key exists so i’m guessing it still applies

You can also use psexec to call netsh on the remote machine to enable remote desktop. See my post at:
