FEATURE REQUEST Sconfig should be executable remotely - new WAC extension
Currently it is not possible to execute sconfig in a PowerShell Session e.g. Enter-PSSession via Server Manager or PowerShell or in PowerShell using WAC. This is quite hindering. Usecases for W...
- Sep 17, 2022Folks, I fully agree that every possible setting needs a decent option to be managed from command line. I'm with you here.
However, please hear me out: that's not what SConfig is for. SConfig is *based* on tools for command-line management. It's not *what* can provide command-line management.
In other words, if you want a command-line tool to enable RDP, I fully agree. Please, make a feature request just for that: a PowerShell cmdlet to enable RDP. That's a great idea, seriously.
If there's another setting (e.g., Telemetry) you would like to have command-line management for, great. Go ahead and submit *another*, separate feature request for that. We're all ears here.
Just don't call it “SConfig”. Because SConfig does not do that, and it should not do that. It's a job for another tool. These feature requests are not about SConfig.

sconfig should allow command line options to quickly check or change settings. Not only is this a hinderance to system administration, especially in Azure, but sconfig is not scriptable.

Artem Pronichkin TimothyWelborn I hear you both.
For me sconfig is a unified now PowerShell based place (GUI assisted and failsafe aka noob proof, for frequently used tasks on a fresh box or to configure later.
I understand that for Azure it's not helpful as it is interactive and not scriptable, as we did once with diskpart (still not as nice as a native PowerShell cmdlet).
So Artem where would you like to get these feature requests? Feedback hub or here?
