How to grace period reset with Powershell

0

My questions are :

1- Im trying to write a script for monitoring RDS grace period which expire in 10 days.

it does not work for Powershell.

wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TerminalServiceSetting WHERE (__CLASS !="") CALL GetGracePeriodDays

Error :

__CLASS : The term '__CLASS' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

2- I am trying to take an ownership and give admins the full rights. But I am getting like below.

Error :

Script :

try {     

$RemainingDays=(Invoke-WmiMethod -PATH (gwmi -namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -class win32_terminalservicesetting).__PATH -name GetGracePeriodDays).daysleft
if(($RemainingDays) -and  $RemainingDays -le 10){

$acl = $key.GetAccessControl()

Remove-ItemProperty -Path $keyPath -Name *L$RTMTIMEBOMB*

LAST UPDATE :

try {     

$RemainingDays=(Invoke-WmiMethod -PATH (gwmi -namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -class win32_terminalservicesetting).__PATH -name GetGracePeriodDays).daysleft

if(($RemainingDays) -and  $RemainingDays -le 10){

Use Get-WmiObject to perform WMI object retrieval in Powershell. In your case this would be something like:

$ts = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_TerminalServiceSetting -Namespace "root\CIMV2\TerminalServices" $RemainingDays = $ts.GetGracePeriodDays()

<rest of your script here>
