In addition to this, you will have to enable WinRM service to start automatically on the client machines.

Set the IPv4 and IPv6 filters to * unless you need something specific there (check out the help on the right).

Open the “Allow automatic configuration of listeners” policy setting (Server 2008 and earlier).

Open the “Allow Remote Server management through WinRM” policy setting (Server 2008 R2 and later).

Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Remote Management (WinRM) > WinRM Service Create a GPO, name it as you want and link to whichever OU to like.

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. 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.
