That is why remoting is turned off by default and you have to run Enable-PSRemoting to turn it on. <\/p>\n
When you do this, we create the default PSSessionConfiguration called Microsoft.PowerShell with a SDDL which only allows people with administrative rights to execute remote commands on that machine. You can see that by the following command:<\/p>\n
PS> Get-PSSessionConfiguration |fl * <\/font><\/p>\n Name : microsoft.powershell <\/p>\n If you decide you want to allow others, what you do is run the command: <\/p>\n PS> Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name Microsoft.PowerShell -showSecurityDescriptorUI <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n Confirm <\/font><\/p>\n Notice that this action could have a serious impact on your system so we ask you to confirm that you really want to do this.(In general we assume you know what you are doing and only bring up these nag-messages when we think it is super important that you not sleep walk through this one. You can always add a \u2013FORCE switch to bypass this message.) This brings up the following dialog box which allows you to give others the ability to run commands on that machine: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Experiment! Enjoy!
