Vista - Powershell 2.0 and remoting

what are the requirements on the 'remote' computer for remoting? eg: does
winRM or powershell have to be installed?

This is lifted from the output from the command "Get-Help About_Remoting" ,
to which you can probably add the fact that it doesn't currently work with
Vista (unless you've installed SP1 beta)..........


"To work remotely, you must have permission to connect to the remote
computer, permission to run Windows PowerShell, and permission to access
data stores, like files and folders, and the registry on the remote
computer.

The remote computer must have Windows PowerShell, the .NET Framework
2.0, and WS-Management. Any files and other resources that are needed
to execute a particular command must be on the remote computer; the
remoting commands do not copy any resources.

When you work remotely, you use two copies of Windows PowerShell, one on
the local computer and one on the remote computer. As a result, your
work is affected by the Windows policies and permission on the remote
computer and the Windows PowerShell policies (such as the execution
policy) profiles, and preferences on the remote computer."

I've not work with Powershell 2.0 yet, so this means :

a) remote machine must have powershell 2.0 + .net framework 2.0 installed +
wm
b) make sure the remote machine allows for *unstricted* execution policy

Am i correct ?

That's the way I'd interpret it. Might be some flexibility with (b), if
you're into signing your own scripts etc, but (a) would seem to be a basic
prerequisite.

there are different ways to do remoting but the remote machine doesn't
have to have unrestricted execution policy.. as you are running at the
command prompt, if you sent a command to go run on a remote computer it
will, based on YOUR permissions on that machine.. So if you have the
rights to run commands on that machine, the ability for you to, will be
no different than if you were physically at that machine.

When using remoting PowerShell doesn't actually have to be running on the
remote system & you don't have to be logged on to the remote machine. As
stated you just need to have the credentials on the remote box to perform the
task. My recent testing shows that it works very nicely.
