Script to disable protocols older than TLS 1.2 and turn off RDP
My InfoSec team came to us asking we disable anything older than TLS 1.2 and turn off RDP on our servers in the DMZ. We don’t allow RDP in the DMZ anyway, and they found that leaving RDP on when not using it poses a security risk.
To do this, it involved multiple registry changes. With several servers to do this on, I wrote a PowerShell script! Only problem is, I don’t know which protocols are going to exist already on the servers. I didn’t have time to write something that would detect the existing protocols, so I wrote for if they exist or not. The ones I tested on already had SSL 2.0 and 3.0, so when you run it, you’ll get some blood splatter for one or the other. 🙂

When you have to make changes on multiple servers, it’s nice to have a controlled way of doing it as to not have human error along the way. 🙂
