PSRemoting (Run PowerShell Remotely)

 Donds how can i activate to run powershell remotely

To enable PowerShell remoting on a remote computer, you can use the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet. Here are the steps to follow:

Open an elevated PowerShell session on the remote computer. You can do this by right-clicking on the PowerShell icon and selecting "Run as Administrator".

Run the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet. This will configure the WinRM service to allow remote access and create the necessary firewall rules.

Enable-PSRemoting -Force

If prompted, type "y" to confirm that you want to make changes to the computer.

Once the cmdlet has completed, you can test the connection from your local computer by running the following command:

Test-WSMan -ComputerName RemoteComputerName

Replace "RemoteComputerName" with the name or IP address of the remote computer. If the connection is successful, you should see a message that says "WSMAN:$RemoteComputerName\Service is OK".

You can now run PowerShell commands and scripts remotely using the Invoke-Command cmdlet. For example: sql

Invoke-Command -ComputerName RemoteComputerName -ScriptBlock { Get-Process }

This will run the Get-Process cmdlet on the remote computer and return the list of running processes.

Note that enabling PowerShell remoting on a remote computer may pose a security risk, so it is important to follow best practices and limit access to authorized users only.
