Remote Install SSH with PowerShell Remote

 

  1. Enable PowerShell Remoting:

    • On the target Windows machines, ensure that PowerShell Remoting is enabled. You can do this by running the following command in an elevated PowerShell session:
      Enable-PSRemoting -Force
      
  2. Connect to Remote Machines:

    • To connect to a remote machine, use the Enter-PSSession cmdlet. For example:
      Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <RemoteComputerName> -Credential <Username>
      
      Replace <RemoteComputerName> with the actual hostname or IP address of the remote machine, and <Username> with valid credentials.
  3. Download and Install Win32-OpenSSH:

    • While connected to the remote machine, download the Win32-OpenSSH package (e.g., from GitHub releases) and extract it.
    • Run the installation script (install-sshd.ps1) to set up Win32-OpenSSH.
  4. Configure Firewall Rules:

    • Inside the remote session, create a firewall rule to allow inbound SSH traffic:
      New-NetFirewallRule -Name sshd -DisplayName 'OpenSSH Server (sshd)' -Enabled True -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -LocalPort 22
      
  5. Start the SSHD Service:

    • Start the SSH server service:
      Start-Service sshd
      
  6. Exit the Remote Session:

    • When done, exit the remote session:
      Exit-PSSession
      
  7. Repeat for Other Machines:

    • Repeat the above steps for all the Windows hosts where you want to set up Win32-OpenSSH.
