Set PowerShell "Plugin\Microsoft.PowerShell\Quotas\MaxMemoryPerShellMB" using Group Policy

Question

I want to apply the following PowerShell settings on many servers:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 12345
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Plugin\Microsoft.PowerShell\Quotas\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 12345

I found https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh751276(v=sc.12).aspx and tested that the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Remote Shell\Specify maximum amount of memory in MB per Shell setting changes localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB, but is there a way to change localhost\Plugin\Microsoft.PowerShell\Quotas\MaxMemoryPerShellMB ?

You should be able to set the value on a test system using the PS commands you listed and then go into the registry to:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WSMAN\Plugin\Microsoft.Powershell

There find the key ConfigXML and copy the Value. Use this value in a GPO that sets Computer Configuration, Preferences, Registry.

@EM0 then consider writing a script to remotely run the two `Set-Item` commands on each server. – Jeter-work Aug 24 '16 at 16:13
