Establish a Remote Session to the AdminStudio Machine

Powershell cmdlets are enabled with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition and with Workflow Manager.

To establish a remote session with a machine that has AdminStudio installed, perform the following configuration steps as mentioned below. These instructions need to be performed on both the AdminStudio-installed machine and the machine initiating the remote session.

To establish a remote session:

  1. Enable PS remoting in both machines (AdminStudio-installed machine and the machine initiating the remote session) by running following cmd: Enable-PSRemoting -Force
  2. Machines should be added to trusted list of VM's to establish connection between remote VM and AdminStudio Installed VM.

    • Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts *(Provide IP address of the VM)

    • Example: Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts "00.00.000.000"

  3. Restart the WinRM service. Restart-Service WinRM
  4. After setting up the Win RM connections, User need to establish remote connection to the AdminStudio VM to run the cmdlets.
    note

    While establishing remote connection we need to add the -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32, as AdminStudio dll's are 32-bit configurations.

Sample:​

Function Create_RemotePSSession($HostName,$UserName,$Password)

\{

$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))

$Session=New-PSSession -ComputerName $HostName -Credential $cred -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32

$session

}
