For those of you that are looking for a little more you can enable RDP through PowerShell. Keep in mind that enabling Remote Desktop is not supported by Symantec and not considered a best practice. Do so at your own risk.

  1. Open Powershell on your PC.
  2. At the Powershell prompt type,
    Code:
    set-item wsman:localhostClientTrustedHosts -value “*”
  3. Next type,
    Code:
    Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <IP address> -Configuration Appliance -Credential <username>
    substituting <IP address> for the IP address of your appliance and the <username> for the username of the appliance (which is probably “administrator”).
  4. You will get a login prompt. Enter the appliance credentials.
  5. Type
    Code:
    Enable-RemoteDesktop
  6. Now try initiating a Remote Desktop connection to your appliance.
This setting is not permanent. So when you reboot your appliance you will likely need to do this again.
