2. 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!

3. 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

4. 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”

5. 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)

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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!

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