Microsoft Nano Server - Misc Commands

powershell_nano.ps1

<#
This is a hodge-podge of various but useful commands that I've discovered 
while exploring what nano has to offer. I expected these commands to change and
often.

# Enable powershell remoting if it is not already enabled
Enable-PSRemoting -Force

# You may change "*" to the name or IP of the machine you want to connect to
Set-Item "wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts" -Value "*" -Force

# the password is vagrant
$creds = Get-Credential vagrant

# this assumes you are using NAT'd network which is the Virtualbox default
# Use the computername or IP of the machine mand skip the port arg
# if you are using Hyper-V or another non NAT network
Enter-PSSession -Computername localhost -Port 55985 -Credential $creds
