    • Use non-persistent remoting to connect to BRADC1 and verify the PSWindowsUpdate module is installed
    • Create a persistent remoting session on BRADC1, and use the peristent session to save a new variable and retrieve the variable in two separate commands
    • Use one-to-many remoting to configure DNS forwarders to 168.63.129.16 on both BRADC1 and BRADC2 using one PowerShell remoting command
Connect to the Virtual Machines

Scenario

You are a domain administrator at Barrier Reef Audio, a company that focuses on generating text from speech using a range of high quality audio equipment and machine learning.

You use an administrative workstation to perform your daily administrative tasks. You would like to move away from using Windows Server with a Desktop Experience to Windows Server with the Core installation option, to improve the security and management overhead of the domain controllers. You need to demonstrate how other administrators can use PowerShell remoting to manage the domain controllers instead of using Remote Desktop.

In this lab, you will:

  1. Verify remote management is enabled
  2. Demonstrate PowerShell remoting, including:
    • Interactive remoting
    • Non-persistent remoting
    • Persistent remoting
    • One-to-many remoting

Lab Setup

In this lab, you will be connecting to VMs using Remote Desktop. You won’t need to access the Azure portal.
