Win2003 Server Remote Desktop Management Tips

The remote desktop function of Windows Server 2003 (referred to as Windows 2003) provides convenience for the network management system. Usually, you need to enable the remote desktop function on a Windows 2003 server. This method is quite troublesome. In fact, you can also use the remote modification of the registry method to remotely open the remote desktop of the Windows 2003 server on the client.

In the client system, click “Start →Run”, in the "Run” dialog box, enter“ Regedit” command to enter the registry editor. Then click on the “File & Rarr; Connect to the Network Registry ” in the main menu bar, pop-up "Select Computer" dialog box, in the "Enter the object name to select

Second Step: Remotely restart Windows 2003 server

We opened the Windows 2003 remote desktop by remotely modifying the registry. However, the modification has not yet taken effect and the Windows 2003 server needs to be restarted.

In the client, click “Start →Run”, enter the “CMD” command in the “Run” dialog box to enter the command prompt window. Type the “shutdown -m \\\\SERVER1 r” command to restart the Windows 2003 server (SERVER1 is the machine name of the Windows 2003 server).

After completing the above two steps, the remote desktop of the Windows 2003 server is opened, and the network administrator can use the "Remote Desktop Connection" on the client side to maintain the Windows 2003 server.

Hint: The domain user account used on the client has the right to remotely modify the registry and remotely restart the Windows 2003 server. Generally, the domain user does not have this permission.
