3. Title slide Why Remoting? The Many Forms of Remote Control WinRM / WS-MAN: The Enabling Technology Enabling and Configuring Remoting 1-to-1 Remoting 1-to-Many Remoting and Deserialized Objects Background Jobs Sessions, Session Options, and More Implicit Remoting Demo-Heavy Session! 3
4. Why Remoting? Strategic way to move from single-machine management to multi-machine management Usable on client and server computers Available for Windows XP and later (with Windows PowerShell v2 installed); installed by default on Windows 7 and later (not enabled) Many different modes of use

7. It’s All Demo From Here Let’s spend some time working with WinRM and remoting Please raise any questions as we go! I will capture a transcript of my shell activity Download next week from ConcentratedTech.com (“Downloads”)
