Study Notes

WinRM

WinRM (Windows Remote Management) is a remote management protocol that uses the Simple Object Access Protocol.
It facilitates communication with remote computers and servers.
WinRM is a feature included in current Windows operating systems.
Administrative privileges are needed to enable and use WinRM.
WinRM configuration includes:
- WinRM service Startup type set to Automatic (Delayed Start).
- LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy configured to allow remote administrative privileges to local users.
- WinRM listener configured to accept WS-Man requests.
- Necessary firewall exceptions configured.

Authentication

Windows Remote Management provides security through authentication and message encryption.
In a domain, Active Directory handles authentication. Group Policy manages configuration settings on computers within the domain, through the Remote Management node of Computer Configuration. Policies are stored under WinRM Client and WinRM Service.
To authenticate with a non-domain computer, use the winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="computername"} command to add the computer to the TrustedHosts table on the local machine.
WinRS (Windows Remote Shell) is a command-line interface used to manage remote computers.
- Use winrs -r: hostname along with the command to run.
- If the computer is on the same network segment, use the host computer's NetBIOS name.

Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop allows technical support staff to remotely manage and troubleshoot client desktops.
Remote Desktop allows mobile workers to access corporate network resources.
The remote computer (server) remains active and listens for connections.
Remote Desktop is enabled/disabled using the Settings app or Control Panel.
The Settings app allows enabling or disabling Remote Desktop with options for Network Level Authentication to enhance security.
- Advanced settings within Remote Desktop allow filtering for Network Level Authentication.
Remote Desktop users must be members of the Remote Desktop Users group for remote access.
Security measures for Remote Desktop connections include configuring a password on the user account, avoiding blank passwords, and ensuring log-on with an account with appropriate permissions.
Remote Desktop Connection provides a graphical interface. It is a default app on Windows 10. Accessing via Taskbar search.
Options for copying files are available in the application.
Persistent bitmap caching can speed up frequently used graphic display.
Desktop background from remote computer can be suppressed if desired.

Troubleshooting Remote Desktop

Common problems include connection failures.
Address potential issues like insufficient computer memory, network problems (including routers and firewalls), and correct computer naming.
Ensure that the remote computer's firewall and network are properly configured for remote connections
