Trying to enable RDP via scripted installations? Please Advise.
Trying to run a VBS script through online kscript
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "127.0.0.1"
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
On Error Resume Next
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "An error has occurred. You may have mistyped the computer name."
WScript.Quit
End If
strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server"
strValueName = "fDenyTSConnections"
oReg.GetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
If dwValue = 1 Then
dwValue = 0
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
WScript.Quit
End If
Script works if run locally as admin through command prompt, however it fails when running it through scripted install. Any tips?

My idea would be this, configure a machine the way you want it. Then export the registry keys you need so you have a nice little ".reg" file with your settings in it. BUT, you'll need to run regedit.exe in with elevated privileges in the script. So use this elevation tool: http://www.winability.com/elevate/
Add the reg file and the Elevate executable as dependencies in your script. Then the script would look like this:
Add the reg file and the Elevate executable as dependencies in your script. Then the script would look like this:
- Launch a program...
- Directory: $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)
- File: Elevate_x64.exe
- Parameters: "C:\Windows\regedit.exe" -s "$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\sample.reg"
The -s is for silent mode, so you can inject registry keys using this method with no user interaction or impact.

I typically used a batch file as my first post install task. Here is the command:
Reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Will this BAT work as a scripted install too? - Kashumee 8 years ago

I just tried it, however it failed. When i run it locally it works fine, however when I try to use Kace1000 to push it. It fails :/ - Kashumee 8 years ago

Attempted both running as local system and a local admin account through kace1000 and it is still failing. - Kashumee 8 years ago

Create a post install task and drag it over to the scripted install. You don't need to employ the K1000 for this. - krhodes@clarknexsen.com 8 years ago

What do you mean by post install? I'm trying to roll this out to 200+ machines that are already up and running - Kashumee 8 years ago

Ah, I apologize.. I saw scripted install and assumed K2000.. Any reason this can't be a logon script, then? - krhodes@clarknexsen.com 8 years ago

Yeah I particularly don't work on the AD and our guy that does unfortunately is not cooperative. However one way or another this needs to get done. - Kashumee 8 years ago

This is the batch script we use in our scripted installations:
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v UserAuthentication /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
