      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.

      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.

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

            Just got to the answer.

              You're using the built in OpenSSH functionality?

                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.

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

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

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

                                            Whew... disadvantage when Zeus uses your city as a target practice range. Spend all day taking care of servers that did not reboot properly because a generator's transfer switch didn't switch over like it should have. /sigh.
