In addition, for script related questions, it is recommended to post questions in
The Official Scripting Guys Forum.
Hope this helps.

It also does not work.
The script with the RegAdd works for adding the key to the registry,
but it seems that the key is ignored.

Hi,
I try to deactivate the Remote Desktop functionallity using Batch files.
I use following lines:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
I've tested them on a Vista machine and there I works.
On my Windows 7 machine I still can access the machine.
Are there any new settings/profile policies overruling them?
How can I check whats the problem?

Hello,
Instead of using registry, use group policies to do that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306300

Hmm how do I do that from within a batch script?

Hi,
In my lab, the key works for me.
In order to determine the issue, please test the following in your Windows 7 machine and let us know the result:
1. In Remote Settings of System Properties, set Dont allow connections to this computer. Then, check whether you can remote to it and check whether the value of the Key fDenyTSConnections is set to 0x00000001.
2. Manually change the value of the Key fDenyTSConnections to 0x00000000, check whether the setting is set to Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication and if you can remote to it.
3. Check if the value of the key will be changed to 0x00000000 automatically after a reboot.
If it turns out that the key is ignored, please let us know your network environment and test the issue again in
Clean Boot Mode.
Hope this helps.

HU, There is a little problem, the option "disable RDP" is grayed out, so I can not select it. (I'm logged in as Administrator)
I can connect either the value is 1 or not. Even after a clean boot.
I think there is any policy blocking this. But what?

Hi,
Please let us know your network environment and check if other computers in the same network have the same issue.
Also, please check if the group policy: Allow users to connect remotely using Remote Desktop Service under Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop
Session Host > Connections is enabled.
Hope this helps.
