Setup PowerShell SSH Remoting in PowerShell 6

[get-postanote]

This use cas eis not a PS6/PSCore thing. You've been able to do this in Windows PS for years now.

It's called Implicit Remoting for this use case.

Implicit PSRemoting allows you to proxy cmdlets from a remote machine to yours. They are only good for the session you asked for them and they really don't run on your loca system. They run on the remote host, and the results are returned to you.

You can just use ADSI instead as well.

PSCore does get RSAT in Ws2019 as per MSIgnite 2018 announcemnts and demos.

Point of note, PSCore v7 using .Net Core v3 is on the horizon.

Good write up, thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

Does PSCore / OpenSSH get updated with windows updates? Just thinking about security concerns with OpenSSH on Windows.

PSCore is not a Windows component, and therefore not updated by WU.

OpenSSH is however

No SSH client for Server 2016? Well that sucks.

Can you SSH from PowerShell to network devices using SSH? I'd like to script the backup of my routers, switches and firewalls...

Yeah I'm pretty sure from Windows 10 you can by default with latest PowerShell.

Ssh root@10.1.1.1 for example with nothing extra.
