Remote desktop disables after restart

I'm attempting to setup remote desktop on a XP SP1 system. I am able to
enable remote desktop (on system A) and connect to the computer remotely
(from system B). However when I restart system A, the remote desktop
functionality disables and I am unable to connect from system B.

I'm aware that the RD functionality being disabled comes from the registry
key "fDenyTSConnection" under "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Terminal
Server\" set to "1". I am able to manually enable RD by setting this key to
"0". However when the system is restarted, it is set back to "1". The same
registry key is also found under
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\" - however this key
is always set to "0".

Also of interest, this only occurs when our software package is installed.
The software package sets the "fDenyTSConnection" registry key in
"...\Policies\..." to "0" when it is installed but does not change it
afterwards or make any other changes to the registry.

I have search online for a similar issue but mainly found information on how
to turn on / off RD either locally or remotely. Neither of these will solve
the problem. Remotely enabling RD is beyond the capabilities of our remote
users.

Update:

Either changing or removing the "fDenyTSConnection" key from the
"HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Terminal Server" registry settings is
reverted after restarting.

What can / would revert this setting?
