A Showdown for PowerShell Remoting
summary
Compares WinRM versus OpenSSH with concrete demos: installed OpenSSH 9.5p1 via Chocolatey and replaced the out‑of‑the‑box 8.1p1, added PowerShell subsystem to sshd_config and restarted sshd, and remotely toggled services and registry so SSH sessions host PowerShell Core 7.4.1. Shows WinRM needs trusted hosts but gives full WinRM provides rich PowerShell cmdlets and endpoint hosting; OpenSSH is lighter and cross‑platform so OpenSSH works for simple cross‑platform tasks but requires extra config for advanced PowerShell scenarios.
