Retrieving Terminal Server Configuration Settings Using Powershell

It was quite easy for Windows 2003 TS servers with Win32_TerminalServiceSetting WMI class, there are tons of documents on the Net. It took me some time, however, to find out that MS change the class considerably for Windows 2008.

It's now under a different name space root\cimv2\TerminalServices. It also requires you to specify an authentication flavour before you can gain access.

In short, you get info with below commands (w2k3 and w2k8 respectively):

gwmi Win32_TerminalServiceSetting -computername -namespace root/cimv2/TerminalServices -authentication 6

or

gwmi Win32_TerminalServiceSetting -computername [-namespace root/cimv2]
