Remote Desktop connection to a Vista Basic Home machine

Posted: 07-20-2007, 09:42 PM
I'm trying to enable incoming Remote Desktop connections on a Vista Home
Basic PC - can it (or something similar to unattended, password-protected
remote access) be done? I could setup a VNC connection and port forwards on
the customer's router at his business, but if RDP is an option, would prefer
to use it. I know Vista Business allows it, but is 'Home banned from this
list?

Thanks in advance

Do you have the option to turn it on in advanced system settings?

Hello

Home editions cannot be a remote desktop server.
