Setting Up Windows PowerShell Remoting

  • Article

You can use Windows PowerShell remoting to run Windows PowerShell cmdlets to manage WCF and WF services hosted on a remote computer, or to manage system services, the monitoring database, or the persistence database on a remote AppFabric server. To do so, bring up a Windows PowerShell console, point to a remote computer, create a remote Windows PowerShell session, and then execute cmdlets on the remote server.

To use Windows PowerShell remoting, you must do the following:

  • Install Windows PowerShell 2.0 on both the client and the remote server computers.

  • Enable the Windows PowerShell remoting feature on the remote server computer.

  • Configure the WinRM NT service (which is a Microsoft implementation of the WSMAN protocol) with a Windows PowerShell listener, so that the service can listen to Windows PowerShell requests coming from remote Windows PowerShell clients.
