PowerShell - Managing Remote sessions


Enabling PowerShell Remoting
On the computer we want to access remotely and execute PowerShell command remotely, we need to run following command:

Enable-PSRemoting -Force 

This command starts the WinRM service, sets it to start automatically with your system, and creates a firewall rule that allows incoming connections. The -Force part of the command tells PowerShell to perform these actions without prompting you for each step.



 
Executing PowerShell script 
Invoke-command –filepath “path” – computername “computername”
For E.g.
invoke-command -filepath C:\Bin\ADScripts\PKI\retrieveExpiringCertificates.ps1 -computername HQCAS02

Rearm the Office 2013 installation

Image
There is a 25-day grace period from the time of installation of Key Management Service (KMS) clients before notifications to activate are displayed to the user. If you want to deploy an image, you must rearm your Office 2013 installation before you capture the image. If you do not rearm, users see notification dialog boxes at the time that the image is deployed, instead of 25 days after deployment. The 25-day grace period gives ample time for a KMS host to be found and activation to succeed. If activation is successful, users do not see notifications to activate. Rearm the Office installation Rearming does the following important tasks: Resets the grace timer to 30 days. Freezes the grace timer until either an Office application is run, or the ospp.vbs script is run. Resets the client computer ID (CMID). This is important because the KMS host uses the CMID to determine the num...
