StartRDP script
A MSH script to connect to a client with "remote Desktop" even if RDP is not enabled,
if its not enabled then the script will enable it and it will be disabled again after RDP session closes.
I did remote registry access in MSH witch the .NET class.
don't know how to do a remote registry in "Native" MSH
gr /\/\o\/\/
# StartRDP.msh
# /\/\o\/\/ 2005
# Script to connect to RDP client even if RDP is not enabled
# if RDP was disabled the script will disable RDP again after session.
Function StartRdp {
$MachineName = $Args[0]
$regKey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey([Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]::LocalMachine, $MachineName)
# $True makes regKey writable
$regKey= $regKey.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Terminal Server" ,$True)
# the Setting is Deny so I reverse it first with ! to set $RDPenabled
$RDPEnabled = !([system.boolean]$regkey.getvalue('fDenyTSConnections'))
write-host "$MachineName RDP = $RDPEnabled"
If (!$RDPEnabled) {
$regkey.SetValue('fDenyTSConnections',0)
#write changes without closing key
$regKey.flush()
write-Host "enabled RDP on $MachineName"
}
sleep 1
"Starting the remote Desktop Connection"
cmd /c mstsc /v: $MachineName
#If changed set the Key back to original value :
if (!$RDPEnabled) {
$regkey.SetValue('fDenyTSConnections',[int]!$RDPEnabled);
write-Host "Disabled RDP again on $MachineName"
}
#Close the Reg Key
$regKey.Close()
}
