Are you looking for an open-source alternative to commercial video conferencing tools such as Zoom? We look at BigBlueButton, If users from unsecure networks primarily the Internet want to access a remote desktop deployment, an RD Gateway should The RD Gateway is designed to secure access to remote desktop deployments from untrusted networks.
There are several options In this article, I'll try to condense my experience over the last few years and especially the last few If you are using PowerShell to manage your environment today, there may be challenges with centralized management, auditing, versioning, It comes To start any troubleshooting case, I always ask for two things. I ask for a Process Monitor trace, which PoweShell should be the first choice.
All other options fade in comparison. I assume this is a "paid post" for ControlUp. There are still many machines out there without PowerShell. Which method you use depends very much on your environment and your taste.
I personally would always go for a GUI solution. And yes, this post was sponsored by Smart-X. It says so in the first line. Be careful with PsExec. PsExec sends commands and credentials over the network in plain text. It will even work with password hashes. PowerShell should absolutely be on this list. I realize it isn't everywhere yet but it has to be offered as a solution here.
It is a much better alternative to the WMI approach. I'm a big believer in the right tool for the job and certainly there will be situations where ControlUp makes sense. But any article that discusses remote management has to include PowerShell. I would seriously consider WMIC as an option with powershell. But all of these have requirement, either on the client your computer or on the server, on so you have to prepare in advance, which you probably haven't since you ended up in this situation.
My favorite tool for this is scheduling the execution with AT. Ofcourse you will have to wait for the execution for up to a whole minute, and you won't get any output unless you pipe stdout to some file or something.
But to me that is easy out weighted by the fact that I don't have to install anything. This is a tiring and frustrating topic. PSExec is great for arbitrary commands or running batch files that can be copied and run directly to a list of machines as indicated. But when the file that needs to be copied is a Powershell script, and. Files not found, miscellaneous errors with identity and authentication, and syntax where escaping names for commands and files is concerned.
Powershell remoting isn't any better. Turning it on remotely is one thing. But then getting credentials to it is something else altogether. Nothing but problems with it.
And in both instances, trying to get a Powershell script to actually output back to the client screen for things like checking for and installing updates on multiple machines is infuriating. Best I can ever do is run Start-Transcript and then pipe that to a file I can read after the fact. Trying to get that info to a client during runtime? Not so much. Don't know what's going wrong but I am growing really tired of the whole idea. I recommend reading our series about PowerShell remoting go to the end of the post in the previous link for a list of all posts in the series.
Various ways exist to return output from the remote sessions. It works well without the need to install any 3rd part tools which can only be done after a long and laborious vetting and approval process. Your email address will not be published.

One downside and probably the reason it's faster -- is that you have to set up the remote computer in advance to accept requests. It is very handy, and if you are inside a domain environment, as stated in the response, there is no need for additional setup. As jpaugh stated you have to setup the machines in advance.
By default Windows Remote Management is set to manual. Luckily there are commands to also start that service manually if need be. To run a command on one or more computers, use the Invoke-Command cmdlet.
To run a script on one or many remote computers, use the FilePath parameter of the Invoke-Command cmdlet. The script must be on or accessible to your local computer. The results are returned to your local computer. For example, the following command runs the DiskCollect.
Use the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a persistent session on a remote computer. The following example creates remote sessions on Server01 and Server Now that the sessions are established, you can run any command in them. And because the sessions are persistent, you can collect data from one command and use it in another command. The results are displayed on the local computer. For example:. Windows PowerShell remote management just begins here. By using the cmdlets installed with Windows PowerShell, you can establish and configure remote sessions both from the local and remote ends, create customized and restricted sessions, allow users to import commands from a remote session that actually run implicitly on the remote session, configure the security of a remote session, and much more.
