Connecting to remote powershell

• Windows Management Framework (Powershell V2) and
• Windows Remote Management.

You have to follow these steps:

• Store the login details of an account that has permissions to remote in. ( for example: the Exchange Service account )

  • $credentials = Get-Credential
    

    • If you want another user to be able to initiate a remote powershell session, run

    • Set-User –identity username –RemotePowershellEnabled $True
      

• Store the session details in a variable

  • $session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionURI http://exchange-server/powershell -Credential $credentials
    

• Import the session defined. This way, the server side shell will be imported in the client side shell. This can take a while.

  • Import-PSSession $session
    

• Run the exchange cmdlets you want to use.
• Once you have finished your work, remove the session.
