[Title] WSMAN cmdlets [Description] 
Presented by: Richard Siddaway PowerShell remoting uses the WS-Management protocols as transport between the local and remote machines. This is implemented as the WinRm service. We can utilise the WS-Management layer (WSMAN) directly to access WMI providers. This session opens up one of the least used areas of PowerShell v2. We will see how to use the WSMAN cmdlets: – Connect-WSMan – Disconnect-WSMan – Get-WSManInstance – Invoke-WSManAction – New-WSManInstance – New-WSManSessionOption – Remove-WSManInstance – Set-WSManInstance – Test-WSMan With these we can access a remote machine in a similar manner to using the WMI cmdlets or PowerShell remoting. The advantage over WMI cmdlets is that we don’t need DCOM. These cmdlets aren’t straight forward to use but there is an untapped administration opportunity that potentially also enables us to administer remote machines that aren’t Windows based. The session will be heavy on code and short on slides as this is a subject best demonstrated.
