Agenda Why Remoting? The Many Forms of Remote Control WinRM / WS-MAN: The Enabling Technology Enabling and Configuring Remoting 1-to-1 Remoting 1-to-Many Remoting and Deserialized Objects Background Jobs Sessions, Session Options, and More Implicit Remoting Demo-Heavy Session!

Why Remoting? Strategic way to move from single-machine management to multi-machine management Usable on client and server computers Available for Windows XP and later (with Windows PowerShell v2 installed); installed by default on Windows 7 and later (not enabled) Many different modes of use

The Many Forms of Remote Control Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Utilizes RPCs for communications Primarily for retrieving management info A –computername parameter E.g., Get-Service and Get-Process Utilizes underlying technology for communications Available on only a few cmdlets PowerShell Remoting Generic, good for all commands Utilizes WinRM / WS-MAN for communications “The New Standard”

WinRM and WS-MAN WS-MAN is the protocol WinRM is the implementing service WSMAN: drive in PowerShell exposes configuration Easy to set up in a domain environment; a bit tricky in a non-domain environment Help about_remote_troubleshooting WinRM is a “traffic director;” must register endpoints that will receive WinRM traffic Any given app can register multiple endpoints WinRM traffic occurs over HTTP by default (not port 80)

Troubleshooting WinRM can be a complex beast to troubleshoot During the demo we’ll also look at the PSDiagnostics module and how you can gather detailed troubleshooting / diagnostic information on WinRM activities

Security Remote connections are logged as a Network Login – like accessing a client’s C$ share Activity within the shell itself is not captured to a log Difficult to fake out because profiles don’t run under a remote connection Pretty much requires you to trust your trusted Administrators Only open to admins by default GPO settings provide some nice options

Requirements Windows XP*, Windows Vista*, Windows 7 Windows Server 2003*, Windows Server 2008*, Windows Server 2008 R2 .NET Framework v2 (v3.51 is good, having v4 installed is fine also) *Must install Management Framework Core; see Q968930

Client-Specific Applications Troubleshooting (TroubleshootingPack module on Windows 7 and beyond) File, folder, and registry management Collecting inventory (more efficient than pure WMI) Anything that might otherwise require a manual visit We’ll see all of these demonstrated in a moment!

It’s All Demo From Here Let’s spend some time working with WinRM and remoting Please raise any questions as we go!
