Accessing and enabling Powershell Remoting in a workgroup environment

[Romo]

All steps must be executed on powershell with administrator permissions and ran on target computers as well as connection initiator computers.

Enabling PS Remoting

Enable-PSRemoting -Force 

Since this a workgroup setup, we need to configure the TrustedHosts settings on the computers in order to establish proper trusts.

// if we trust the local lan completely
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts *

// Enabling access to specific hosts via hostname or ip address just pass a comma separated list of hosts 
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts 'hostname1, hostname2 , ipaddress1'

Restart the WinRM server to make changes take effect

Restart-Service WinRM

Accessing a remote PS Session

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName  yourTargetHost -Credential yourUser

After inserting your credentials the session should be ready!

In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.
