      Finding more ways to do some simple Windows administration tasks using Powershell rather than a GUI tool. Yay more efficiency! 😄

      We've increased the efficiency of PowerShell here by calling it from Linux boxes. We've gained a huge amount of automation performance from that. So silly, but it really works.

      Can you actually do manage Windows stuff from Linux with PowerShell now?

      Yes.

      Ah, cool. Then I may need to test some stuff... Does it have the Active Directory modules and such yet?

      It's Powershell 6.0. I believe it can do whatever you can do on Windows... but I haven't really tested it yet.

        Oh yeah, you can do anything.

          No, you are thinking of PowerShell on Linux to manage Windows remotely. We are using BASH on Linux to run PowerShell remotely. So the version of PowerShell is whatever is installed on Windows.

            PowerShell on Linux is for managing Linux with PowerShell. We are using Linux to manage Windows boxes. So the PowerShell in question is on Windows. We can use anything... BASH, ZSH, PowerShell, GUI on Linux side.

              What do you mean, using PSCore on Linux to automate tasks on Windows? PSCore is still lacking a lot of functions.

                    That's the only reliable way I've found to remotely connect from Linux to Windows to issue PS commands.

                        Was thinking maybe they are running them via salt but kind of doubt that.

                          Salt does PowerShell easy but I don't think that's what he meant.

                            Looks like Reddit's having some issues.

                              No, not needed. You normally automate on the target, not on the workstation.

                                  FTFY. Even Windows to Windows, it seems way more robust.

                                          Didn't know you could use PSRemoting to connect from Windows to a Linux box.

                                          That is specific to powershell commands I think. PSRemoting specifically

                                          Enter-PSSession from Linux to Windows via SSH. That's how I've done it.

                                            PowerShell on Linux is for managing Linux with PowerShell. We are using Linux to manage Windows boxes. So the PowerShell in question is on Windows. We can use anything... BASH, ZSH, PowerShell, GUI on Linux side.

                                            You're using the built in OpenSSH functionality?

                                            That's all I could think of.

                                            You can do PSRemoting, too, but why add the hassle?

                                            Yup, it works. Just not as reliable or elegant as SSH.
