Covering Server Administration, Endpoint Management, Scripting and Network Management
For quite a few of our servers, we would rather not have the server manager boot up every time we login. The quick and easy way to stop it from appearing when you log in is to go into Server Manager, click on the Manage menu item, then go to Server Manager Properties. Once there, simply tick on Do not start Server Manager automatically at logon. That will prevent it from starting up every time.
Is there anyway to perform this task using powershell?
Hi Ryan. Unfortunately as far as I am aware there isn’t a quick and easy way via powershell. If I do find a way, will post it up.
Cheers.
Thanks for this. I tried it but Server Manager still starts up. What I found worked for me was to disable it from Task Scheduler as mentioned in this post here: http://thisishelpful.com/disable-server-manager-starting-windows-server-2012.html
Based on ThisIsHelpful.com’s quick fix:
Disable-ScheduledTask -TaskPath ‘\Microsoft\Windows\Server Manager\’ -TaskName ‘ServerManager’
