The Win32_RDVHManagement WMI class, located in root\cimv2\TerminalServices, has a method called RdvSetupVMPermissions. Does anybody know what this method does? Which permissions does it set and how exacly?

I found this method through the Open-RDVMFirewall function (part of the RemoteDesktop PowerShell module). All what the function does is a call to RdvSetupVMPermissions. Given the function's name, I suppose that the WMI method can also somehow configure Windows Firewall?

If yes, then it should be possible to configure VM firewall from the hypervisor side even w/o having an RDVH role installed and I am very much interested in it.

Unfortunately, the official documentation is useless.

    @Eleven Yu (Shanghai Wicresoft Co,.Ltd.) Hi!

    1. Issues at GitHub usually are for reporting bugs, not to ask questions.
    2. Even if it would be appropriate to ask questions in the "win32" repo, they do not have the issues section there:
