VM: vm-8.limit-console-connections

Information

Virtual machines must limit console sharing. Limiting VM console sharing to one user prevents multiple observers, enhancing security. However, this might inadvertently create a potential pathway for service denial.

Solution

Get-VM -Name $VM | Get-AdvancedSetting RemoteDisplay.maxConnections | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value 1
