SSH Remoting

Note: The Following is only required if your using Powershell on Linux to do Remote Windows support or want to manage Windows with SSH.

SSH remoting lets you do basic PowerShell session remoting between Windows and Linux computers. SSH remoting creates a PowerShell host process on the target computer as an SSH subsystem.

The New-PSSession, Enter-PSSession, and Invoke-Command cmdlets now have a new parameter set to support SSH remoting connections.

[-HostName <string>]  [-UserName <string>]  [-KeyFilePath <string>]

To create a remote session, specify the target computer with the HostName parameter and the UserName parameter. When running cmdlets interactively, you're prompted for a password, unless the SSH key authentication with a private key file is used with the KeyFilePath parameter.

Start an Interactive session on a Remote Computer

To start an interactive session with a single remote computer, use the Enter-PSSession cmdlet:

Enter-PSSession <Name_of_Server>

The command prompt changes to display the name of the remote computer. Any commands that you type at the prompt run on the remote computer and the results are displayed on the local computer.

To end the interactive session:

Exit-PSSession

Checking VM Status

To check the status of a VM, use the Get-VM command. If you’re running this from a Linux system, ensure you’ve established a remote session to your Hyper-V host:

Get-VM -Name "VMName"

PowerShell Get VM https://powershellcommands.com/powershell-get-vm

To start a VM:

Start-VM -Name "VMName"

To stop a VM:

Stop-VM -Name "VMName"

To create a new VM:

New-VM -Name "NewVMName" -MemoryStartupBytes 2GB -BootDevice VHD -Path "path/to/vhdx" -Generation 2

To remove a VM:

Remove-VM -Name "VMName" -Force
