How to Allow Remote Access to an Asp.Net Development Server

Set up Remote Desktop on your development server.

An ASP.NET development server is a computer running Windows 2008 and all the server development services used to create desktop and web applications. The team developers need control of the ASP.NET server to make changes to configurations to test new software products. The software developers receive Remote Desktop access, so they can remotely control the desktop and make changes to the Windows 2008 server system.

Instructions

1. Click the Windows 2008 "Start" button on the ASP.NET development server. Select "Run" from the menu options.

2. Enter the following command into the text box:

   Cscript %windir%\system32\SCRegEdit.wsf /ar 0

   The "%windir%" variable is an internal environment variable that points to the location of your Windows installation.

3. Press the "Enter" key. It may take a few seconds for the Remote Desktop access to install and configure on the machine. After you receive a "Success" message box, your developers can then remotely access and use Remote Desktop on the machine.
