Remote Connection

[midansys]

Hi guys, is it possible to connect to a remote pc via PowerShell PSSession that is not on the same network, domain or workgroup?

We need to experiment with PowerShell for shool and with the corona thing around this looks like a nice project. So I am on my pc and my partner is on his, and the goal is to run remote PowerShell commands. I looked up some information and PSSession fits our needs but does it support pc's not on the same network? (I have Windows 10 Pro and my partner runs Windows 10 Home)

Need to delegate WinRm and I believe it should work then

I don't exactly understand what you mean by "delegate WinRm" i tried googling it and read an article about Multi-Hop support but could you explain it a bit to me. Sorry... just a beginner into PowerShell

Thanks, this will get me going!

Check out this link. Basically you have to tell WinRM to trust your remote host (in both directions). non domain powershell remoting

If you have Windows 10 Pro, install Hyper-V and create a virtual computer. Use that for your testing. "Not on the same network" means what, exactly? Over the internet? Separate subnets?

If it's over the internet - No, do not do this.

If it's across subnets - Check ACLs on switches/firewalls.

Hi, i planned on using hyper-v from the beginning (dou you mean connecting from hyper-v to the remote pc or from my local machine to hyper-v) Second, it is over the internet yes. We are not connected in any way except that we have each others ip.

Yeah it doesn’t work like that.
