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.
What do you mean, using PSCore on Linux to automate tasks on Windows? PSCore is still lacking a lot of functions.
No, not needed. You normally automate on the target, not on the workstation.

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?
Yes, works great.

That's the only reliable way I've found to remotely connect
from Linuxto Windows to issue PS commands.FTFY. Even Windows to Windows, it seems way more robust.

That's all I could think of.
You can do PSRemoting, too, but why add the hassle?

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.

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

@penguinwrangler they will replay it next week... Tuesday night I think.
Yup will be on the road to have my weekly supper with my kids.

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.

Tuesday morning and it's freeezing. Why doesn't heating get under the desk, top half warming up, bottom half feels like I'm sitting in an ice pond.

They make shops for that. Typically called grocery stores.
