I've got a remote Win7 box that I can SSH into (via Cygwin). I apparently forgot to turn RDP on before leaving it. I've got wget accessible, but obviously no way of getting to a GUI.
Is there a way to either enable RDP or install and set up VNC via the command line? If so, where would I start?
Note that I also don't want to reboot the computer - it would be vastly preferable if whatever was involved could be done without a reboot.
Answer
You can enable RDP with the following commands:
C:\>netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable
C:\>netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable
Alternatively you can also modify the remote registry with the following command:
C:\>reg add "HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0
Value fDenyTSConnections exists, overwrite(Y/N)? y
The operation completed successfully
