WinRM: Ride the Adventure
summary
Explains WinRM as a HTTP-based sequence: create shell → create command → receive output → close shell, how the ruby winrm gem implements PowerShell remoting now (so large transfers go from minutes to seconds), and practical limits to watch: 5 shells default on 2008 R2, 5 KB chunk limit for file transfers that made SCP-like copies painfully slow before the new protocol. Covers ports 5985/5986, firewall/security group and proxy pitfalls, need for admin or Remote Management group, and the scheduled-task elevation workaround that reliably succeeds.
