We have a set of XP Pro clients rolled out that have remote desktop sharing
disabled. We manage them remotely so physical access would be difficult. Is
there any way to automaticlaly enable this setting via group policy?
 
Yes, you can configure it via Domain Policy... It is included in the
Windows 2003 Administrative Templates, but it can also be enabled by
applying a registry key -
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
setting the TSEnabled key to 1 (this has worked for others)....
