Stop Server Manager from showing at logon | RDS

I recently configured a new RDS solution for a client where Server Manager was always popping up when logging in.  I didn't want this to happen for users, so I needed to make the required registry change for this to no longer happen:


Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager

There should already be a DWORD called DoNotOpenServerManagerAtLogon which is set to Decimal: 0.  Simply change this over to Decimal: 1 (as opposed to Hexadecimal: 1) to stop this from happening again.

You will still be able to open up Server Manager, however this won't appear automatically when logging in.

  1. Useful resource for turning off Server Manager at Windows logon. This option can be useful as it disables a feature that may get in the way and slow down the login process. For the individuals who desires to take a further step in developing their system administration skills, identify sources of support for planning and reviewing own development.. These sources can include up-to-date books and journals, as well as professional societies and organizations that provide updated information to its members
