1 00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:01,800 [Autogenerated] So let's go back into my 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,870 windows 10. Machine on. Well, first, look 3 00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:05,680 at how we connect to remote computers 4 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,260 using W m I. More then retrieve 5 00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:11,390 information from that remote computer on. 6 00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:12,870 Then we'll look at how we can manage the 7 00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:16,710 services on that computer. Okay, so we're 8 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:18,890 back on the machine now. And of course, 9 00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:20,810 what we want to do here is we actually 10 00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:23,750 want to look at how we can connect to a 11 00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:26,570 different machine using the W my commands. 12 00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:28,060 Now, of course, you can see I've got to 13 00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:29,950 PowerShell tabs open. One is PowerShell 14 00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:32,300 seven on one is regular PowerShell. In 15 00:00:32,300 --> 00:00:34,310 order to use the GitHub, my you'll need to 16 00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:36,840 be used in the regular windows PowerShell. 17 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,290 So if I want to make a connection, then of 18 00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:43,740 course, we need to use GitHub my object. 19 00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:48,310 And then we specify the class that we wish 20 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:50,710 to use. So I'm going to say operating 21 00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:53,750 system is my class. And then to make it a 22 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:56,520 remote connection, we simply use local 23 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,990 host for the computer name. And then, of 24 00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:02,570 course, that now connects me. Now, of 25 00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:04,490 course, it's not too remote, one per se, 26 00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:06,430 because I'm connecting to the device that 27 00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:09,420 I'm on. So what about if we wanted to pass 28 00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:12,360 available to that instead, so I could do 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,830 computer equals local host. So there's my 30 00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:18,600 variable I can. Then use the same 31 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,940 commanders before and this time we move 32 00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:23,760 that and use computer, and sure enough, it 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,310 gets me the same value back. So creating a 34 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:28,580 connection to a computer is a simple is 35 00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:31,870 using the computer name property on, then 36 00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:33,900 using the computer name? Now, of course, 37 00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,510 you can't just randomly connect to any 38 00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:38,980 machine. You'll need to have some kind of 39 00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:41,970 firewall openings on the service 40 00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:45,150 themselves to allow remote connection to 41 00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:47,140 that server. Now, of course, that's a 42 00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:49,540 specific task that would need to be ran 43 00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:52,140 Now, of course, what we can do is when we 44 00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:54,990 initially create our connection, we do 45 00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:58,620 have the ability to pass other parameters 46 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:00,360 so you'll see here. There's an 47 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,150 impersonation. Once I'm going to set that 48 00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:04,700 to three impersonation means I want to 49 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,500 pass credentials across to it, I can, then 50 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,750 say credential. And whatever the domain 51 00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:13,240 user credentials are I can, then pass that 52 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,650 now There's no point trying this on a 53 00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:16,810 local host. The local host doesn't 54 00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:19,010 actually work that way, so it will 55 00:02:19,010 --> 00:02:21,450 actually fail if we try to do it. So I was 56 00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:24,310 gonna do this one here and clear it. Now, 57 00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,670 of course, one of the things that's 58 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:27,400 interesting is, of course, when we make a 59 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,780 connection to remote machine, we really 60 00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:32,550 just want to retrieve information. So one 61 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,010 of the things that we can do in retrieving 62 00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:37,540 information is obviously use that same 63 00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:39,990 connection. So I'm going to do my computer 64 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:43,480 variable again. Computer equals local 65 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240 host. And then we'll just reuse that one 66 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,120 and then I can say, get W M I object. 67 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,330 Samos. Before this time I'm gonna put 68 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:52,700 computer name you notice doesn't really 69 00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:55,750 make a difference with the order. So I'm 70 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,100 gonna say, Computer, I'm going to specify 71 00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:02,640 my class as I did before WinJS etoo 72 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,270 operating system. And then look what I can 73 00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:08,490 do I can. Then pipe that value out to a 74 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:11,290 select object and then I can say I'm going 75 00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:13,790 to get all the properties Star Press 76 00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:16,220 center Now, of course, that gives me a 77 00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:18,980 really unwieldy list of properties that I 78 00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:21,570 can actually access, which is great, But 79 00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:24,650 this format is just horrible. So how can 80 00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:27,080 we kind of change that well Let's do it a 81 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,810 little bit differently. Let's create an 82 00:03:28,810 --> 00:03:31,200 object variable, and then what we'll do is 83 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 we'll use the same command that we just 84 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,220 ran. So get to be in my object computer 85 00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:39,690 name, dollar computer. And then we'll 86 00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:44,040 specify the class will do the wind 32 87 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,820 operating system one again. Okay, so let's 88 00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:49,120 just check what our object has. And sure 89 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,940 enough, it has the basic information. Now, 90 00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,420 what about if I wanted other information 91 00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:57,350 other than just these six values? Well, 92 00:03:57,350 --> 00:04:00,830 now that we have an object created I can 93 00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:04,240 pipe that object into something else so I 94 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,090 could say select object and I could say 95 00:04:08,090 --> 00:04:10,790 Property star. Of course, that just gives 96 00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:12,750 me the same horrible list that I had 97 00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:15,150 before. So how could we make this a little 98 00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:17,270 bit better? So if we use the same thing 99 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:22,690 again, I could then do select caption and 100 00:04:22,690 --> 00:04:26,050 then I start to get individual pieces. Or 101 00:04:26,050 --> 00:04:28,230 I could actually go all the way here, 102 00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:30,400 removal of the extra one and just do 103 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,360 caption so we can select either individual 104 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,450 values or multiple values. In fact, what I 105 00:04:36,450 --> 00:04:41,190 can do is I could say manufacturer and 106 00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:44,080 I can get to values come back. So making 107 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,340 the connection to the other machine isn't 108 00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:48,470 just about connecting to it. It's about 109 00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:51,570 retrieving information that exists on that 110 00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:54,430 machine Now. The other thing that we can 111 00:04:54,430 --> 00:04:56,140 do here or that's actually quite 112 00:04:56,140 --> 00:05:00,070 important, is our ability to action to 113 00:05:00,070 --> 00:05:03,220 perform a task of some description. So 114 00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:06,970 let's say we wanted to retrieve a specific 115 00:05:06,970 --> 00:05:09,490 services. So we're gonna use that w my 116 00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:13,050 object again and we use the same computer 117 00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:16,420 name So dollar computer and this time will 118 00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:20,910 change the class to be win 32 and will 119 00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:23,210 change that to services on. What I'm then 120 00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:25,400 going to do is peg on the filter option 121 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000 here, and I'll do name equals. I'm using a 122 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,080 key value pair here like so, and will use 123 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,210 W u A U S R. V. So the Windows Update 124 00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:38,300 service. So I'm gonna click Enter here. 125 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:40,090 This will then going query the remote 126 00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:43,890 machine for that specific service. And 127 00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:46,050 then I should be able to say service and 128 00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:47,800 sure enough, it comes back and it will say 129 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,310 this is my process. IDE start mode is 130 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:53,530 manual and it's running now, of course. 131 00:05:53,530 --> 00:05:56,250 What about if I wanted to start to start, 132 00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:59,050 restart, etcetera. That specific service. 133 00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:01,730 What? The good news is that this command 134 00:06:01,730 --> 00:06:05,330 returns a service object of that specific 135 00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:08,650 instance. So that means I can then say get 136 00:06:08,650 --> 00:06:12,030 member I can do type and then I can say, 137 00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:14,290 Get me the methods Now how fantastic is 138 00:06:14,290 --> 00:06:17,300 that it now lists. May all of the methods 139 00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:20,420 that are associate ID to that specific 140 00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:22,830 instance. So you'll see we have a start 141 00:06:22,830 --> 00:06:26,730 Onda stop. So if we wanted to stop a 142 00:06:26,730 --> 00:06:29,730 service, if I just clear this here we can 143 00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:32,900 say services, and then you'll see I have 144 00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,260 this stop service option and I can do 145 00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:38,990 that. Now it returns me some values. So 146 00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:41,260 let me check the status and do service a 147 00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:42,850 hold on a minute. It's still showing 148 00:06:42,850 --> 00:06:45,330 running. That's because the value that you 149 00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:47,670 have for the services from the previous 150 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:50,380 call, So I now need to look back and say 151 00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:53,240 services. And then when I do, services 152 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,170 will now say stopped. So you need to 153 00:06:55,170 --> 00:06:56,520 remember that when you're retrieving a 154 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,500 service or trying to manage it, that the 155 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,440 value that you have is the previous state 156 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,620 that was there when you retrieved it. So 157 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:07,020 let me go back to this way and do service 158 00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:11,730 Docker start services. Once again, I'm 159 00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:13,390 going to check my service. You should say 160 00:07:13,390 --> 00:07:15,870 stopped. Even though I've said to start, 161 00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:19,100 If I re initialize that service, it's now 162 00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:21,430 back to run in. So you can see the purpose 163 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:23,960 of connecting two remote computer is to 164 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,960 one make the connection to retrieve 165 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,570 information and then, as an example, was 166 00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:33,000 to manage the services that reside on that machine.
