Configure Remote PowerShell in SharePoint 2010

Original Blog

There are several ways to connect and run PowerShell command remotely.  In this article I want to address the needs of many IT admins that just need quick PowerShell access to run a command or set of commands.

First step is to open your remote computer to PowerShell using GPOs or type

winrm quickconfig

Invoke-Command

Now using PowerShell you can run several commands but lets focus first on invoke command

Help Invoke-Command –examples is all you need.  Just copy the second example and fill in the blanks.

However this does have an annoying issues that we can quickly fix.  Using variables lets set both the computername and user

Just substitute the variables for computername and credentials and you are good to go.  Note that the user/password variable is secure for most users but more on that later.

Enter-PSsession

Since we have variables set for computername and credentials this one is easy.

Now connected -Fun commands

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostbyAddress("127.0.0.1")

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“contoso.com")

get-wmiobject win32_service –computername 127.0.0.1

get-psdrive

cd hklm:\  (or any other drive)

Old School

Remember you can always type cmd to get the old classic command if needed.  Have Fun!

cd hklm:\get
