My apologies, I missed the leading slash after the 'drive name' ( For some
reason powershell has its own notion of 'drives' which include parts of the
registry - HKLM: is the name of the powershell drive that maps to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part ot the registry.)
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server' -name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
Hope this helps,
Jon
