Telnet is a very cool feature in Windows Server 2003 system, which helps you to logon another machine and work on it, just like to sit right before that computer and operate (In Windows 2000 advanced server version, the feature is called terminal service in remote management mode). Telnet plays a role of lifeguard to repair server failures from a remote place. However, what if you forget to enable this function before sending the server out? If the server is just right before your eyes, of course, it’s quite easy to enable telnet function: just logon in administrator, open “Control panel”—“System”, choose “Telnet” tab, and then check the option “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer”.
 Unfortunately, you cannot use system utilities to enable Remote Desktop on a remote machine (although you can connect console to the computer through “Computer management”, right click the root nod and choose “Properties”, and then visit some ”System” property label tabs of the remote machine, “Remote” tab is unavailable), shown as below:
 
And here’s the solution:
Logon Windows XP workstation in administrator identity, enable registry editor, and then chose “File”—“Connect network registry”.
 
At this moment, “Select Computer” dialog prompts, then you can either browse the active directory to locate the remote server, or to keyed its name to the text.
