Window Remote Shell lets you logon to another machine similar to ssh on linux/unix boxes. Here is a list of what to do to configure it. Note: This has been tried this on a single machine, a Windows 7 machine connected to a home network. Note: This only works using IP addresses rather than server names.
Edit Steps
- 1On each machine (client and server), run: winrm quickconfig and follow the instructions
- 2On each machine, add machines to the TrustedHostList. For example, the command below will add specific IP addresses plus any machines on local workgroup to the trusted list: winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="<local>,10.1.1.106,10.1.1.107"
- 3Connect to a machine and run a command: winrs -r:10.1.1.106 dir
- 4Connect to a machine and start a remote cmd shell: winrs -r:10.1.1.106 cmd
