A Python, prompt_toolkit and pywinrm based WinRM console:
$ pip install ptwinrm- Python >= 2.6
- docopt
- pywinrm
- prompt_toolkit
Before connecting to the windows machine, make sure the winrm service is running and the firewall is opened for winrm connections. On my windows machine I had to do the following on the windows command line:
# make firewall respect our wishes
C:\>netsh advfirewall add rule name="WinRM-HTTP" dir=in localport=5985 protocol=TCP action=allow
C:\>netsh advfirewall add rule name="WinRM-HTTPS" dir=in localport=5986 protocol=TCP action=allow
# configure winrm
C:\>winrm quickconfig
# Allow non encrypted (for pywinrm)
C:\>winrm set winrm/config/servive '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'
Then you can try to connect from another machine (linux, OSX, windows):
$ ptwinrm --user="acme\roadrunner" --run="ver" acme-rr.com
password: ********
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
$ ptwinrm --user="acme\roadrunner" acme-rr.com
password: ********
