Here are instructions for disabling wsh. This is particularly used by DBAs to run RDA (Remote Diagnostic Agent) to gather Oracle and Oracle-related diagnostics.
-
Run regedit
-
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings\Enabled(the Microsoft doc says to create it if its not there) -
Set the value to 0
That’s it. You get the message:
Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine. Contact your administrator for details.
If you try to use it.
If it needs to be re-enabled, then you set the value to 1 - we often need to use it on the database servers to get diags for Oracle, but we should disable it each time after use.
