Here is another problem that arises after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3. Windows Home Server Remote Access is not functioning anymore after installing the Service Pack 3. An attempt to access the updated computers using Windows Home Server’s Remote Access function displays a dialog that is prompting the user to add their homeserver domain to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer but access is not granted even after doing so.
The issue is caused by security changed to the Terminal Service ActiveX control in Internet Explorer which is now disabled by default. Thankfully a workaround was posted already, here are the steps to fix the problem and enable Windows Home Server Remote Access again.
Open Internet Explorer and click on Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons to enable the Terminal Services ActiveX control again. If you see the Terminal Services control and are able to enable it you are done. If you cannot see it or cannot enable it you need to delete two keys in the Windows Registry instead which will also enable the Terminal Services ActiveX control again.
HKCU \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Ext \Settings \{7390f3d8-0439-4c05-91e3-cf5cb290c3d0}
HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Ext\ Settings\ {4eb89ff4-7f78-4a0f-8b8d-2bf02e94e4b2)
Once you have deleted those two keys the activeX control should be enabled again in Internet Explorer.
