PowerShell Script to Create GPO that sets Remote Desktop Session Time Limits

Hey guys,

I just started working for a new company that does a lot of Windows Server automated builds. As you can probably guess, a lot of PowerShell scripting is involved which I have very very basic knowledge of (basically 0 knowledge). Anyways I was given the task of creating this PS script to get my feet wet using PowerShell scripting.

We want the PS script to be able to create a GPO that changes the "Session Time Limits" settings.

I found a very good article as a reference in creating GPOs using PowerShell. However the example they use in the article is on how to change the "Authoritative Time Server." I want to be able to change the "Session Time Limits."

Here's a link to the article (looks better in IE): http://carlwebster.com/creating-a-group-policy-using-microsoft-powershell-to-configure-the-authoritative-time-server/

I think I've followed the article's steps pretty well up until the part where I need to set the registry keys.

Can someone assist me or point me in the right direction in creating a scripts similar to this? I would greatly appreciate any help.

It does seem much easier to accomplish this using your suggested export import method using PowerShell. Makes perfect sense as a simplified solution. I'll go ahead and try this on the test environments. Thanks a lot for your input. Once I finish I'll post another comment.

Perfect! Used the proper PowerShell cmdlets to export and import from one environment to another. Now adding this to the auto build should be easy. Thank you so much acbrown2010!
