  • Reference
Module:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Core

Configures the computer to receive remote commands.

Syntax

Enable-PSRemoting
      [-Force]
      [-SkipNetworkProfileCheck]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet configures the computer to receive PowerShell remote commands that are sent by using the WS-Management technology.

PowerShell remoting is enabled by default on Windows Server 2012 and higher. You can use Enable-PSRemoting to enable PowerShell remoting on other supported versions of Windows and to re-enable remoting if it becomes disabled.

You need to run this command only one time on each computer that receive commands. You don't need to run it on computers that only send commands. Because the configuration starts listeners, it's prudent to run it only where it's needed.

Beginning in PowerShell 3.0, the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet can enable PowerShell remoting on client versions of Windows when the computer is on a public network. For more information, see the description of the SkipNetworkProfileCheck parameter.

The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet performs the following operations:

  • Runs the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet, which performs the following tasks:
    • Starts the WinRM service.
    • Sets the startup type on the WinRM service to Automatic.
    • Creates a listener to accept requests on any IP address.
    • Enables a firewall exception for WS-Management communications.
    • Registers the Microsoft.PowerShell and Microsoft.PowerShell.Workflow session configurations, if it they're not already registered.
    • Registers the Microsoft.PowerShell32 session configuration on 64-bit computers, if it's not already registered.
    • Enables all session configurations.
    • Changes the security descriptor of all session configurations to allow remote access.
  • Restarts the WinRM service to make the preceding changes effective.

To run this cmdlet on the Windows platform, start PowerShell by using the Run as administrator option.

Examples

Example 1: Configure a computer to receive remote commands

This command configures the computer to receive remote commands.

Enable-PSRemoting

Example 2: Configure a computer to receive remote commands without a confirmation prompt

This command configures the computer to receive remote commands. The Force parameter suppresses the user prompts.

Enable-PSRemoting -Force

Example 3: Allow remote access on clients

This example shows how to allow remote access from public networks on client versions of the Windows operating system. The name of the firewall rule can be different for different versions of Windows. Use Get-NetFirewallRule to see a list of rules. Before enabling the firewall rule, view the security settings in the rule to verify that the configuration is appropriate for your environment.

Get-NetFirewallRule -Name 'WINRM*' | Select-Object -Property Name

Name
----
WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP-NoScope
WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP
WINRM-HTTP-Compat-In-TCP-NoScope
WINRM-HTTP-Compat-In-TCP

Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck -Force
Set-NetFirewallRule -Name 'WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP' -RemoteAddress Any

By default, Enable-PSRemoting creates network rules that allow remote access from private and domain networks. The command uses the SkipNetworkProfileCheck parameter to allow remote access from public networks in the same local subnet. The command specifies the Force parameter to suppress confirmation messages.

The SkipNetworkProfileCheck parameter doesn't affect server versions of the Windows operating system, which allow remote access from public networks in the same local subnet by default.

The Set-NetFirewallRule cmdlet in the NetSecurity module adds a firewall rule that allows remote access from public networks from any remote location. This includes locations in different subnets.

Note

The name of the firewall rule can be different depending on the version of Windows. Use the Get-NetFirewallRule cmdlet to list the names of the rules on your system.

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SkipNetworkProfileCheck

Indicates that this cmdlet enables remoting on client versions of the Windows operating system when the computer is on a public network. This parameter enables a firewall rule for public networks that allows remote access only from computers in the same local subnet.

This parameter doesn't affect server versions of the Windows operating system, which, by default, have a local subnet firewall rule for public networks. If the local subnet firewall rule is disabled on a server version, Enable-PSRemoting re-enables it, regardless of the value of this parameter.

To remove the local subnet restriction and enable remote access from all locations on public networks, use the Set-NetFirewallRule cmdlet in the NetSecurity module.

This parameter was introduced in PowerShell 3.0.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet isn't run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

You can't pipe objects to this cmdlet.

Outputs

String

This cmdlet returns strings that describe its results.

Notes

Starting in PowerShell 3.0, Enable-PSRemoting enables all session configurations by setting the value of the Enabled property of all session configurations to $True.

  • On server versions of the Windows operating system, Enable-PSRemoting creates firewall rules for private and domain networks that allow remote access, and creates a firewall rule for public networks that allows remote access only from computers in the same local subnet.

  • On client versions of the Windows operating system, Enable-PSRemoting in PowerShell 3.0 creates firewall rules for private and domain networks that allow unrestricted remote access. To create a firewall rule for public networks that allows remote access from the same local subnet, use the SkipNetworkProfileCheck parameter.

  • On client or server versions of the Windows operating system, to create a firewall rule for public networks that removes the local subnet restriction and allows remote access , use the Set-NetFirewallRule cmdlet in the NetSecurity module to run the following command: Set-NetFirewallRule -Name "WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP-PUBLIC" -RemoteAddress Any

Enable-PSRemoting enables all session configurations by setting the value of the Enabled property of all session configurations to $True.

Enable-PSRemoting removes the Deny_All and Network_Deny_All settings. This provides remote access to session configurations that were reserved for local use.
