How to change the listening port for Remote Desktop

If you have ever needed to change the default Remote Desktop Port, you probably have consulted this article for modifying the necessary Registry Key for Remote Desktop: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/306759

However, manually modifying the Registry is time consuming and tedious (especially if you have to do this for a lot of servers), so I created a very convenient PowerShell script to make this process that much easier!!

	Param(
	[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
	[string]$PortNumber = "3390"
	)
	$TSRegKey = "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp"
	$PortNumberRegKey = "PortNumber"
	Clear-Host
	Write-Host $TSRegKey
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $TSRegKey -Name $PortNumberRegKey -Value $PortNumber -Type "DWORD"
