Using
Windows Remote Shell is like running a command prompt remotely, just as you would
telnet into a UNIX or Linux system. This isn??™t enabled by default, so your first step is to
enable Windows Remote Shell on the server using the following command:
WinRM quickconfig
You will be prompted if you want to accept the change. You can then connect using
remote shell from another computer by running Winrs. For example, to connect to a
Server Core instance called WINSRVCORE and open the command prompt, you would
run this command:
Winrs -r:WINSRVCORE cmd
Winrs also supports additional switches such as specifying the username and password
when connecting to the remote server and setting environment variables when the
shell starts. This tool is useful if you want to run a command-line-based tool remotely
without having to log in first using Terminal Services.
One piece of functionality that is difficult with a Server Core installation is managing
hardware. If you attach a Plug and Play device to the server, the driver will be automatically
loaded; however, if it is not an easily recognized device and requires loading
of third-party drivers, extra steps are required. You need to perform two distinct steps.
First, you need to copy the driver files to the server. Then you can load the driver using
the INF file that came with the driver using the drvload command. For example, if you
copied the drivers to C:\TEMP\NEWDRIVERS and the INF file for the driver was called
oemsetup.
