Solution 9: Turn Off the Display Control Panel in Group Policy with PowerShell

This PowerShell command is a matter of piping three cmdlets together:

New-GPO
New-GPLink
Set-GPRegistryValue

Order also matters. When you run the following command, you create the GPO first, set the values second, and then link it last. The following example will create a new GPO called NoDisplay with the Display Control Panel disabled and linked to the Executives OU in sample.com:

New-GPO NoDisplay | Set-GPRegistryValue  -key

“HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

\System” -ValueName NoDispCPL -Type DWORD -value 1

| New-GPLink -target “ou=executive,dc=sample,dc=com”
