#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Remote Desktop Gateway refuses connections -- event 4, 23003 and 23005 Fix : Fix the resource authorisation policy Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-app-rdgateway Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 30 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Event 23005 -- the user is allowed in but not to that machine. HOW TO UNDO IT Remove the added computer group entry. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
