You cannot use Disable-ComputerRestore to disable System Restore on a remote network drive, even if the drive is mapped to the local computer, and you cannot disable System Restore on drives that are not eligible for System Restore, such as external drives.

To disable System Restore on any drive, System Restore must be disabled on the system drive, either before or concurrently.

Examples

Disable System Restore on the C: drive:

PS C:> disable-computerrestore -drive "C:\"
