Today I will be showing to enable remoting via group policy.Īll of the settings that we will be using in the Group Policy Editor will be of Computer Configuration node.ġ.

The WinRM service will also have to be configured and enabled. Remoting requires Powershell 2.0 which comes default with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, other operating systems you have to install separately. This can be done as an automated block or as an interactive session.

Powershell remoting lets you connect to a remote system and run commands locally, then returns the results to the calling machine. One of the important features of Powershell is in its ability to remotely execute scripts on other machines. Powershell really is a game changer if you're constantly dealing with Microsoft related products, as it is one of the core components which makes management and scripting on Windows a real easy task. You will be able to do so in your environments as well. So today I have decided to write on enabling Powershell remoting on all the machines in the environment. #Remove all of the blank items from the new array.Like I said earlier, I will building my lab soon and I was setting up few important things before I could start the actual labs. #Split the current line of $NetUser on the space #Cycle through all of the lines of $NetUser. #Count how many lines are output by net user. #PowerShell automatically sets this as an array since This little script will transform net user‘s ugly output into a more useful array: #Put the output of net user into a variable.

You can use net user, but it’s output is kind of useless. Not much to write about there, but most of us still have some Windows 7 computers floating around, and that won’t work there. This is much easier on Windows 10, than on 7. (Probably Windows 8 and 8.1, but does anybody really care?) You can use PowerShell to get a list of local workstation user accounts on Windows 7 or Windows 10.
