How can I Deny permissions to logon to Remote Desktop Session Host server in powershell script?

I am need of some assistance please. I am a system admin and I am trying to create a script that will assist with the tedious tasks I have to do with disabling a user that no longer works for the company.
I have created a script so far that will reset the users passwords and remove them from all groups (minus domain users).
I am trying to make it where it will deny permissions to logon to Remote Desktop Session Host server as well as give full mailbox permission to the manager in Exchange Server 2010.
I know with Exchange 2010, I will need to add the Powershell snapin. Is there a way for this to be added into the script? I am thinking to add the code:
add-pssnapin Microsoft.exchange.management.powershell.e2010
Is there another way to do this? Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.
$ou = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "<*OU info here*>" -Filter * |
Set-ADAccountPassword -Reset -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "<*Password here*>" -Force)
foreach ($user in $ou) {
$UserDN = $user.DistinguishedName
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(member=$UserDN)" | foreach-object {
if ($_.name -ne "Domain Users") {remove-adgroupmember -identity $_.name -member $UserDN -Confirm:$False} }

Why not just disable the account?Why are you searching an OU foro users when you just want to terminate one user?
You can remotely connect an exchange session and manipulate the mailbox permissions.  You do not load a snap-in except on the Exchange server.
$Session=New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://<FQDN of Exchange 2013 Client Access server>/PowerShell/
Import-PSSession $Session
# exchange commands here
\_(ツ)_/
We have a checklist we have to go through with the tasks listed. We have to keep to the account enabled until HR changes
the status which is usually 30-90 days depending. Managers sometimes need to access the accounts to retrieve information, etc. We put the users in an OU; once we are given permission from the manager we move forward in the removal.

  • Option "Deny this user permissions to logon to a Remote Desktop Session Host Server" tuned on

    Last week a lot of users start to complain that they can´t access my TS Server, where there are several Remote Apps published in my TS Gateway server. Everything was fine in the last 3 years.
    We´re investigating an issue related to the Oracle IDM application, maybe the reconcilliantion process is enabling the "Deny this user permissions to logon to a Remote Desktop Session Host Server" option, without our permission
    But the investigation of the problem will take longer, so, i need a method to remove the checkbok of the option, via script or automated method, while we´re investigating the issue, because the users calls, we uncheck the option and everything is fone again,
    but several hours later, the checkbos appears checked (on) again
    I could´t find the option in powershell, nor ADSIEdit/Attribute editor.
    I even couldn´t find the name of the field
    I need to create a qucik-script to sweep the AD, and uncheck the optin, automatically, untill the problem is solved

    Some new information:
    1) The Oracle IDM/OAM solution was "Guilty".
    For some reason, during a regular updated schedulted task for the IDM solution, the field was found with no info, and the software "thought" that the default parameter was "enabled" and all affected users got the "deny" option  checked (this is a weird
    "reverse" misunderstanding, because the proper state is "disabled" in AD, but the software set it to "Enabled", ebcause "thinks" that is "TSAllowLogon", in fact is the oposite meaning.
    2) I could find the "allowLogon" or "TSAllowLogon",  but it is inside a "UserParameter" option, like a multi-valued option:
    Get-ADUser -Filter {SAMAccountNAme -eq '<USERNAME>'} -Properties UserParameters
    The result was:
    UserParameters    : CtxCfgPresent                                   P☺CtxCfgPresent????☺CtxCfgFlags1????☺CtxShadow????*☻☺CtxMinEncryptionLevel?
    The exact same, as seeing in ADSI Edit/Advanced Attribute Editor, but i can see in a 3rd party LDAP browser, the LDAP browser decoded the field, showing a lot of other informations, like AllowLogon=0, among others

  • Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

    Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
    I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
    System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
    Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the  Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
    fee I recommend you assume as that it is
    not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
    For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved.  At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
    Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
    When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you.  I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

  • NULL SID Security Log Event ID 4625 when attempting logon to 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host

    This is a new deployment of Server 2008 R2 in a newly created 08 R2 active directory on a newlyt installed 08 R2 RDSH server.
    A new generic user is created in AD. That user can log on to the terminal server on the console just fine. But that user cannot logon via RDP. Furthermore, the domain admin credentials also cannot logon via RDP.
    When either set of credentials is used, the logon attempt registered in the Windows Security Even Log as a denied attempt with Event ID 4625 reporting a NULL SID.
    Troubleshooting: The RDSH has already been disjoined and rejoined to the domain. Also, curious note, there are three ways to save the user account on the RDSH server as a valid user account which has permissions to logon. The one Microsoft recommends is to open computer management and edit the remote desktop users group. When I the accounts here and click apply, they immediately dissapear. Secondly, I can open the computer properties and go to the remote tab. There I find the user accounts added using the previous method are enumerated but not displaying correctly. They show up with the RDSH server name and a question mark. The last way, is to open the Remote Desktop Session Configuration tool and edit the properties of the rdp connection and go to the security tab. This was the only place I could get a user to ‘stick’ but the logon attempts still show a NULL SID and access is denied.
    I have scoured every bit of RDS documenation I can find with no luck.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I am also experiencing this issue. 
    2008 servers, 2007 exchange on server 2008. 
    These are fresh servers, fresh AD. Users can log onto domain normally, RDP not working for admin accounts, generating same errors as posted above.
    The bigger issue, is that we have a cisco messaging service account that is generating this error on the DC's and the Exchange server as well. The service basically emails users voicemails to their inbox. The user we've created for the cisco service is unable
    to authenticate to the exchange server, in turn generating the same errors posted above as well. We can log on to the domain with this account just fine. 
    Any ideas on this? We have not tried re-adding the servers to the domain.

  • How can I deploy my AAMEE without Apple Remote Desktop?

    Hi everyone,
    I created a build for Adobe CS6 Production Premium for Mac with the serial number embedded, along with the current updates. All is well with that; however, this is the issue that I am having:
    I have tried to test the build on a local machine (the computer I created the build on) and was able to install the package with no issues; however, when I try to deploy build onto a networked machine, it doesn't work.
    I have read through the AAMEE Reference Guide and have read (if I am not mistaken) that for CS6, you can only deploy an AAMEE build through Apple Remote Desktop onto multiple machines. I have also read that you would need Apple Remote Desktop on all of the machines you want the build to deploy on.
    If that is case, if I have read the guide correctly, what is the point of deploying the build through a network if you have to still install ARD onto all the machines you want the software one? How can you get around this to be able to deploy your AAMEE successfully onto a network on machines?
    When I tried it last night on one network Mac with ARD, I received the error message for "Validating packages...". I'm not sure what that means because the build works perfectly on local machine.
    Any ideas would help as far as deploying the build on a network without using ARD, or really, just a simpler alternative that works?
    PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can deploy package using any of these tools - ARD, SSH, Casper suite, Absolute manage, Land desk..and may be more but we have only tried these.
    We have mentioned ARD as an example, but other standard tools can be very well used for deploying package. and there is no need to have ARD installed on all machines where you want to deploy the package, but only on admin machine.
    can you please let me know - which client OS are you trying to deploy the package and whether the client machine is logged or logged in? please forward install.log if you are facing the error.
    thanks,

  • How can I improve the performance of Apple Remote Desktop?

    Apple Remote Desktop is very slow (refresh of the screen). Hown can I improve speed?

    Like Dave said, you can lower the colors. You can also set a lower screen resolution on the client your connecting to.
    There are things that can slow down ARD. For instance: copying files over the network, Watching youtube, listening to streaming music, Downloading files, video chat, audio chat. Or an active time machine backup running to a time capsul. 
    If you have the option of using your wired network over wireless. And your wired network is faster; then you could try using the wired network.
    If your computer and or the client computer is on wireless, you could try moving the computers closer to the wireless access points. Do the computers have 1 bar , 2 bars, 3 bars or 4 bars in airport menu?
    Are you using ARD at home on a small network? OR are you on a larger buisness network?
    If your on a small home network. You could look at your router to find out if it's 802.11 a, b, g, or n.

    You can include the WebTemplate parameter in the select, from that you will get the template ID for all sites.
    I am sure you know the custom template IDs then just filter / use if else to get the desired results.

  • How to allow more than two users on remote desktop on windows server 2012 foundation?

    i have a dell server power edge T300 with windows server 2012 foundation. I am unable to connect more than two remote desktop at once.

    Hi,
    Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
    In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
    accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
    Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

  • Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?

    Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?
    I want to build and update the Azure RemoteApp template by using same Hyper-V guest image continue.
    Message:
      "Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured"
    Environment 1: my on-premises Hyper-V guest.
    Environment 2: my Azure Virtual Machine by "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" image.
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    If you are referring to RDS CAL, the answer is yes, you can build a template
    without having an RDS CAL.  For on-premises you would still need rights to install Windows Server as a guest, but to build the template you do not need an RDS CAL because this use is for administrative purposes. 
    In the case of building the image on an Azure Virtual Machine you do not need Windows Server license since that is included in the pricing for the Virtual Machine.  As mentioned above you do not need an RDS CAL since you are only building a template
    image which is administrative use.
    As always please review the appropriate documents that apply to your situation such as the Online Service Terms (OST), Product Use Rights (PUR), license agreement(s), etc. for precise details.
    Thanks.

    how can i find SAP Gui logon pad version ?

    Hi,
    That's easy. At the top of the logon, you see a title bar with a general version indication. At the most left of it, you'll see an icon. Click on that and choose about SAP logon and you'll get detailed info.

    Hi,
    Logon process cannot be easily replaced, but if your concern is just to ignore it, we can use auto logon to bypass the manual logon process:
