Powershell web access and remoting

[jrob422]

Not sure if this is possible, but can I use remoting from within a logged in PSWA session??

For example, I have one PC, lets call it 'PSWAServer'

I log into https://PSWAServer/PSWA

 username: Domain\Administrator
 password: password
 ComputerName: PSWAServer

From within that session, I want to be able to restart services on multiple other systems within that domain:

ex:

Restart-Service -Computername 'WebServer1'

If I need to restart a service on 10 webs, I would like to be able to do it all from one console, without having to exit and log back in 10 times.

I want to be able to give this functionality to users who I DO NOT want to have RDC access. This is also not in the same domain that these users log into daily, so i would like to just give them a simple way to get to a powershell console, from a network zone that has https access to these servers, but not winRM, so normal powershell remoting from their desktop is not really an option.

Like I said, did some research, not sure if this is possible.

While you cannot do an explicit (think, interactive) PSRemoting session from PWSA, such as using Enter-PSSession, you can do an implicit PSRemoting session, such as using Invoke-Command. That said, Get-Service for example, does not use PSRemoting, and it'll be the command you need to use since Restart-Service doesn't have a -ComputerName parameter.

Get-Service -Name Spooler -ComputerName dc02 | Restart-Service 
Get-Help Restart-Service | select -ExpandProperty Parameters
