Enabling remote administration on windows server 2022

Posted 2022-03-22 ganzy

​Remote Management​ is enabled by default in Windows Server 2022. If it was disabled in your environment, you can enable it by running the​ ConfigureSMRemoting​ command. This allows you remotely administer your server with Server Manager. 

​Configure-SMRemoting -Enable

​​Enable-PSRemoting -force

​​winrm quickconfig​

​Winrm quickconfig​ will analyze and automatically configure the ​WinRM service​ for you.

It also configures listeners for ​HTTP​ and ​HTTPS​, and ensures that the ​Windows firewall is allowing HTTP and HTTPS traffic inbound:

​Configure Windows Firewall:

​​Get-NetFirewallRule *remote* | Format-table

​​Set-NetFirewallRule –Name "RemoteFwAdmin-In-TCP" –Enabled True​​

​​Set-NetFirewallRule –Name "RemoteFwAdmin-RPCSS-In-TCP" –Enabled True​
