    3. Select users which will have Remote Desktop access to the computer
  2. Change the listening port of the computer you'd like to remote desktop onto
    1. Start Registry Editor
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
    4. On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal
    5. Type the new port number, and then click OK
    6. Restart the computer

    1. Open Network Connections
    2. Open the properties of the Local Area Connection and go to the Advanced tab
    3. Click the Windows Firewall Settings button and go to the Exceptions tab
    4. Click Add Port... and provide the following:
    5. Name = "Remote Desktop (<custom listening port>)"  (What you name this is arbitrary, but this helps to identify it.)
    6. Port Number = <custom listening port>
    7. TCP should remain checked
    8. Change Scope should be set to Any Computer (if you want to remote desktop over the internet), My Network (if you only want to be able to remote desktop from internally - but then there's no point in changing the listening port), or Custom List
