PowerShell Remoting

NEW POST: possibility of a web service?

It is certainly doable. You need to write your own PowerShell host at server side and it is not the interest of this project.

Would it be possible to somehow create a web service for this? I'm not sure if this is really in the scope of this project but what I'm looking to do is provide a sort of CGI-style environment for Powershell.

We can do that for sure.

i think i did not make myself clear.

1) even if I use a wrapper to run Start-RemoteHost.ps1 under a different account, I would still have to press "Y" for "yes, Use default credential."

2) these wrappers start processes (with given login and password) on a local system whilst Start-RemoteHost.ps1 autenticate against the remote one.

i think that both cases can be solved by adding a credential argument to the Start-RemoteHost.ps1 script.

I would suggest don't use this for cooperation server application. It is a "toy" for personal use unless you read all the source code and know what you are doing.

Hi Guys,

Is anyone using this for the PowerShell that comes with Exchange 2007?

Cheers,

Steve

Well, this is a feature of powershell already. You can prepare credentials for multiple uses.
see blog:

But once you connected to remote powershell host using powershell remoting, every operation is on remote host. You have no control over local host. You can store credential on remote (as a file or in memory) though.

support for non-interactive usage

- work with credentials like the get-wmi cmdlet does, so that I can prepare credential object beforehead and then use it multiple times
- passing commands /scriptblocks for the remote session to execute
- forward the output of the (noniteractive) remote session back into local session for postprocessing

eg:
{
#both machinelist.txt and systemlist.txt are stored localy
$creds= get-credential
$codetobeexecutedeemotely = { gwmi Win32_ComputerSystem }
Get-Content machinelist.txt | % { echo "machine: $" ; remote -machine $_ -credential $cred - scriptblock $codetobeexecutedremotely } > system_list.txt
}

hope you can understand me (i can't make the wiki markup leave my code snippet as it is: it mangled all underscores)

ps: sorry for my engish and thanks for developing powershell remoting. it fills a big hole in the powershellastheonlytoolneededfowwindowsadministration scheme.

NEW POST: Problems running binary executables

Sorry, it is one of the restrictions of "PowerShell Remoting" right now. We are planning to work on this issue.

Just wondering, now that gotdotnet workspaces aren't available ... I can't seem to find the source code for this project anywhere. :'(

What is PowerShell Remoting?

Windows PowerShell® (codename Monad) is next generation of the command line interface in Microsoft Windows platform. Powershell does not provide remote access functionality in version 1. It is planned for version 2.

PowerShell Remoting is a light-weighted server-client application which allow you securely connect to a remote PowerShell host and run script interactivly.

It contains two components:

Server: A managed windows service component. It will listen at certain TCP port, accept incoming connections, authenticate client and provide PowerShell hosting environment.

Client: A managed class library. It serves as a proxy between the remote server user interface and local client user interface. It will connect to server, establish a secure channel, get user input and display the results.
