Whenever I am on a new server, I would need to do this all over again. How can I automate this process by putting these parameters in a batch file or PowerShell script?
Answer:
You can use the Registry provider in PowerShell along with the *-Item and *-ItemProperty cmdlets to modify the registry values under this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console.
