Enabling Remote desktop in vista with Group Policy

Hi,

I have a question about enabling remote desktop in vista via GPO. I have set
the allow users to connect via remote desktop to enabled which worked fine, I
have to use the allow users from any OS setting for now because we are a
mixed shop of XP sp3 and Vista Enterprise, so everythings fine, except...
What i am coming across is I'm getting a note on the Remote setting
configuration saying I still have enable remote desktop in the vista firewall
manually. From my reading, telling vista to enable rdp should create the
exception automatically. This warning basically defeats the purpose of any
GPO. Any thoughts. Thank You

'allow' or 'enable' is different than 'set' or 'turn on' a feature.

That's all fine and dandy, but doesn't really answer any question. Forget the
part about "allowing" that was a paraphrase from Remote settings. I need to
know which remote settings to configure to allow remote connections for users
of XP SP3 and Vista enterprise SP1 in group policy. To reiterate, from my
reading enabling the allow users to connect setting under computer
configs...blah blah should set the rdp settings to the "allow connections
from computers running any version of RDP", and create an exception in the
windows firewall. I am experiencing a warning telling me that I have to
manually create that exception. I need to have that exception created with
the GPO if possible. I can't be any clearer. Thanks for the heads up.

hello, I was wondering if I can access my vista media center at home
from another computer miles away using a remote desktop program from m
PDA phone

I just wanna know when I connect from my phone to my home pc via remot
desktop if my media center will be accessible, on a phone like the Noki
N82. Makes sense right, to be able to access my recorded shows on m
mobile, and set recordings ect

Thanks:geek
