"C:\WINDOWS\system32\reg.exe" add "\\LT-001\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

This code executes a command-line operation using the reg.exe tool to modify the Windows registry. Specifically, it enables Remote Desktop on a target machine.

Here is a detailed explanation of what this command does:

  1. "C:\WINDOWS\system32\reg.exe": This is the path to the reg.exe utility, which is a built-in Windows tool for managing the Windows registry from the command line.

  2. add "\\LT-001\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server": This part specifies that a new value will be added or modified in the Windows registry on a remote computer named LT-001. The registry key path being targeted is:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server This is where configurations related to the Terminal Server (which handles Remote Desktop connections) are stored.
  3. /v fDenyTSConnections: This refers to the specific registry value being modified. The value fDenyTSConnections determines whether Remote Desktop connections are allowed:

    • 0: Remote Desktop connections are enabled.
    • 1: Remote Desktop connections are disabled.
  4. /d 0: Sets the data (value) for fDenyTSConnections to 0, enabling Remote Desktop connections.

  5. /t REG_DWORD: Specifies that the data type for the value is a REG_DWORD (a 32-bit integer).

  6. /f: Forces the operation to occur without prompting for confirmation.

Summary:

This command enables Remote Desktop connections on the remote machine named LT-001 by setting the fDenyTSConnections value to 0 in the Windows registry.
