Hi All, I need to include the step "Allow remote connections to this computer" with disable NLM option using SCCM Task Sequence for new server builds. I was able to achieve this partially by below two powershell commands by incorporating into SCCM TS. Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server' -Name fDenyTSConnections -Value 0 Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp' -Name UserAuthentication -Value 0 After the server build when checked the settings are grayed out but Allow remote connections to this computer was selected with NLM. Above registry are also changed but NLM was in effect even after registry entry is 0. When checked local group policies, two policies are enabled which has caused the gray-out. When i changed this policies to "Not configured" i was able to see the desired result. Computer Config->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Remote Desktop services->Remote Desktop session Host->Connections->Allow users to connect remotely by using remote desktop services and Computer Config->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Remote Desktop services->Remote Desktop session Host->Security->Require user authentication for remote connections by using network level authentication Even tried Regedit /S command and import registry but getting same result as above. Is there any way to get the result i want. Thanks

I'm thinking of recommending my team to adopt SCVMM for windows server administration but wanted to know from an IT audience perspective: - Are you using SCVMM today? If not, what other products do you prefer to use? - What are the top 3 features you use within SCVMM that makes system/server administration easy? - How hard was it to make SCVMM a part of your toolset? Thanks, Billy

Just wondering if anyone had a recommended best practice for page file size and settings for Windows Server 2012. Does the old 1.5 X installed memory rule still apply? A quick Google found this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx What is everyone out there using for their page file settings? Thanks!
