Description

Disable-RDPRemotelyWMI uses the classic WMI Win32_TerminalServiceSetting class to switch off Remote Desktop access on one or more remote computers. Supply computer names via the -ComputerName parameter or pipeline input and the function calls SetAllowTSConnections(0,0) to remove both RDP access and the firewall hole.

Usage examples

Disable-RDPRemotelyWMI -ComputerName 'srv-core01'
'srv-a','srv-b' | Disable-RDPRemotelyWMI

Choose the CIM variant when PowerShell Remoting and the WSMan stack are available; this WMI helper remains useful for legacy hosts.

        $tsobj.SetAllowTSConnections(0, 0)
    }
