If (-Not (Test-Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’))
{
New-Item ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Force | Out-Null
}
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Name ‘SystemDefaultTlsVersions’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Name ‘SchUseStrongCrypto’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null

If (-Not (Test-Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’))
{
New-Item ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Force | Out-Null
}
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Name ‘SystemDefaultTlsVersions’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319’ -Name ‘SchUseStrongCrypto’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null

If (-Not (Test-Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server’))
{
New-Item ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server’ -Force | Out-Null
}
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server’ -Name ‘Enabled’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server’ -Name ‘DisabledByDefault’ -Value ‘0’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null

If (-Not (Test-Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client’))
{
New-Item ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client’ -Force | Out-Null
}
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client’ -Name ‘Enabled’ -Value ‘1’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client’ -Name ‘DisabledByDefault’ -Value ‘0’ -PropertyType ‘DWord’ -Force | Out-Null

Write-Host ‘TLS 1.2 has been enabled. You must restart the Windows Server for the changes to take affect.’ -ForegroundColor Cyan
