Hello Guys,

I hope you all are doing well, I have some questions.

I am actually working on a WinServer 2016 which I have installed on a vmware machine on my laptop. I was just thinking that lets suppose if I have a WinServer 2016 core installed on a physical computer ,I can work on it directly using the "POWERSHELL " command option.

My question is that can we access this WinServer 2016 core machine from another location within a LAN(Local Area Network) using our client machine?

Also my other question is that lets suppose if I have Win10 installed in my client computer ,can I use the "POWERSHELL" prompt of my Win10 computer and remotely access this WinServer 2016 machine core within same LAN(Local Area Network using "POWERSHELL" commands?

I hope my question is clear

Regards,

    PowerShell Remoting uses Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to allow users to run PowerShell commands on remote computers. You could check below article to know about security concerns, recommendations, and best practices when using PowerShell Remoting.

    Thank you Guys for your reply,

    I was actually interested to access "Windows Server 2016" on a LAN(Local Area Network) using the "POWERSHELL" feature of my client machine "Win10".

    I am not talking about running the "POWERSHELL" prompt on "Windows Server 2o16" from a client computer within a LAN(Local Area Network).

    Thank you so much for those useful links which you have provided in your answers.

    I hope my question is clear now.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    You have to enable WinRM on the core server to be able to manage it remotely through powershell from your computer Windows 10. 

    Enable-PSRemoting -Force

    enable-psremoting

    enter-pssession
    You can use GPO to enable it.
