Disable-PSSessionConfiguration

Short description
Disables session configurations on the local computer.

Syntax


Description
The Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet disables session configurations on the local computer, thereby preventing 
all users from using the session configurations to create a user-managed sessions ("PSSessions") on the local 
computer. This is an advanced cmdlet that is designed to be used by system administrators to manage customized session 
configurations for their users.


Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet sets the Enabled setting of the session 
configuration (WSMan:\localhost\Plugins\<SessionConfiguration>\Enabled) to "False".


In Windows PowerShell 2.0, the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet adds a "Deny_All" entry to the security 
descriptor of one or more registered session configurations.


Without parameters, Disable-PSSessionConfiguration disables the Microsoft.PowerShell configuration, which is the 
default configuration that is used for sessions. Unless the user specifies a different configuration, both local and 
remote users are effectively prevented from creating any sessions that connect to the computer.


To disable all session configurations on the computer, use Disable-PSRemoting.
