NAME
    Enable-PSRemoting

SYNOPSIS
    Configures the computer to receive remote commands.

SYNTAX
    Enable-PSRemoting [-Force] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet configures the computer to receive Windows PowerShell remote commands that are sent by using the WS-Management technology.

    You need to run this command only once on each computer that will receive commands. You do not need to run it on computers that only send commands. Because the configuration activates listeners, it is prudent to run it only where it is needed.

    The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet performs the following operations:

    — Runs the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet, which performs the following tasks:
    —– Starts the WinRM service.
    —– Sets the startup type on the WinRM service to Automatic.
    —– Creates a listener to accept requests on any IP address.
    —– Enables a firewall exception for WS-Management communications.

    — Enables all registered Windows PowerShell session configurations to receive instructions from a remote computer.
    —– Registers the “Microsoft.PowerShell” session configuration, if it is not already registered.
    —– Registers the “Microsoft.PowerShell32” session configuration on 64-bit computers, if it is not already registered.
    —– Removes the “Deny Everyone” setting from the security descriptor for all the registered session configurations.
    —– Restarts the WinRM service to make the preceding changes effective.

    To run this cmdlet on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later versions of Windows, you must start Windows PowerShell with the “Run as administrator” option.
