I assume I may be missing something but does in fact RDM missing option to have remove powershell WinRM connection as option?
Hi,
Do you mean to execute a remote powershell for a specific host? It's a Macro/Script/Tools:

No I mean I open remote console like SSH or telnet to remove host. (Enter-PSSession)
We don't have anything directly but you could create a local Powershell session and execute Enter-PSSession

I'm really surprised. Why SSH, telnet are there but not powershell remoting?
I'm sure we could do something better but with the PowerShell session type you can connect. Just use the host in the variable.
Perhaps I'm missing something.

I want to have the same type of functionality which RDP provides but which will open remote WinRM powershell session with alternative credentials support, ability to specify all properties which Enter-PSsession support (like Configuration Name, port number, SSL etc).
I was fully expecting that I just did not find this option in UI since Remote Desktop manager supports pretty obscure remote connection types.
Powershell remoting is how Microsoft envisions admins will be administering servers, not RDP. You can see it by looking at Nano server as well as Windows containers neither of which has any administrative GUIs.
Artisticcheese,
I believe I was able to achieve your goal per David's instruction.
Is this what you are looking for?
... ability to specify all properties which Enter-PSsession support (like Configuration Name, port number, SSL etc).
You should be able to achieve this by specifying those parameters in the "Command" section. If you want to run as a different user with different credentials, simply add those under the "Run As" tab.

I have already have entered a feature request for Remote Powershell Console but for now you can use the workaround with the hard coded values;

Don't forget that you can use the $HOST$ variable

Thanks. I will wait for proper feature implementation. It's not emergency but just really surprised me that something like DeskRoller (never even heard of it) is supported along with all the bells and whistles and nobody thought or suggested so far to have PowerShell remoting to be added as well.
This is a future of Windows Administration (in fact been probably for a lot of admins in last couple of years already).
I agree with you that this is something we MUST do quickly.
David Hervieux
Do you have a link for DeskRoller?
David Hervieux
I meant you have DeskRoll as option to create a new connection but not Powershell Remoting.
Ah I see what you mean.
