Question

I have been trying to enable or disable a Local group policy with powershell to automate the process, I tried installing Remote Server Administration Tools but it's module in powershell needs the pc to be in a domain.

Is there any way to enable\\disable a Local group policy with powershell?

Answer 1

Use the registry (note that this requires elevation):

Set-ItemProperty -Path <HKLM:RegistryPath> -Name <PropertyToChange> -Value <NewValue>

Example (Enabling Search Suggestions from Edge):

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\SearchScopes" -Name "ShowSearchSuggestionsGlobal" -Value 1
