Problem
When you log in to a server, the Server Manager windows loads automatically. On a small VM this can take some time and waste som e resources, especially if you forget to close it and log off.
Solution
Create a GPO to disable the automatic loading of Server Manager.
- Start Group Policy Managment Editor
- Create and link a new GPO on the OU/OUs where you want to apply it.
- Find the setting Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Server Manager\Do not display Server Manager at logon
- Enable it
- close the GPO and wait for a GPO refresh, or trigger a gpupdate /force on any applicable computers.
