PowerShell: Enable Remote Desktop

Originally published 3 comments

I am creating an SCCM task sequence to deploy a Windows Server 2012 R2 image. The task sequence has completed and loaded the image, and I want to connect with my RDP client. Remote Desktop needs to be enabled first, so the following PowerShell commands automate that configuration:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop"
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp' -name "UserAuthentication" -Value 0

    Whether this can be applied for Windows 10 OS deployment.
    Can you please be specific about where to keep the powershell script task sequence in the Windows OS deployment task sequence.
