When remote desktop is enabled, it's possible to use many a capability the console provides, as if you were sitting at a real console. However, when this is disabled, the situation looks hopeless.
In order to enable remote desktop, one should already have a desktop open.
However, WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) allows to solve that, if the computer you need remote desktop allowed to, is available in the intranet.
At the command prompt of another Windows computer, type
wmic /node:server_name rdtoggle WHERE server_name="computername" CALL SetAllowTSConnections 1
(wmic is WMI console command-line utility). "computername" should be replaced with host name of the computer (as seen in network neighborhood)
