Hi,
Just starting to take a look at Server 2012 and I'm trying my best to use powershell as much as possible...
I simply want to enable remote desktop so I can RDP to the server.
Get-Command *Remote* brings back several commands including Set-RDRemoteDesktop but that doesn't appear to be what I want.
Get-Command *Desktop* does not appear to help
Get-Command *Enable* does not appear to help
I go back to google and find the following
Great I think I'm there but these are 3rd party cmdlets ....
I do some more searching and find that a function has been written but I assume there should be something built in and I guess the following would not enable the relevant firewall rules?
I do a bit more searching and find the following but again surely there must be a simpler way?
(Get-WmiObjectwin32_TerminalServiceSetting -Namespaceroot\cimv2\TerminalServices).SetAllowTSConnections(1) |
2 |
3 | import-modulenetsecurity -eastop ; Get-NetFirewallRule| ? {$_.displayname -like"remote desktop*"} | Set-NetFirewallRule-enabledtrue |
So after several hours at my first attempt to run (what I assumed would be a simple task) a command in powershell I seem to have failed.
I've ended up using the GUI which took me 10 seconds ....
What am I doing wrong? Is there a simpler solution?
Thanks,
Nigel.
