Windows Server 2016 Optimization Script.
Tested on: Windows Server 2016 build 14393.0.
Description: This script disables services, removes scheduled tasks and imports registry values to optimise system performance on Windows Server 2016 running in a Citrix SBC environment.
Warning: This script makes changes to the system registry and other configurational change and as such a full backup of the machine or # snapshot if running in a virtual environment is strongly recommended. Carry out full testing before introducing image to production.
Note: You should review ALL optimisations this script makes and determine if they fit in to your environment. Not every optimisation suits all environments. For example, this script disables key Hyper-V services for use in non-Hyper-V environments. If you use Hyper-V, you must enable these services.
Instructions: To avoid failure, run PowerShell as an administrator.
