Windows Remote Management
Windows Remote Management (WinRM) enables an administrator to run command lines remotely on a target server. When WinRM is used to execute the command remotely, the command executes on the target server and the output of the command is piped to the local server. This allows administrators to see the output of those commands.
The commands run securely because the WinRM requires authentication and also encrypts the network traffic in both directions.
WinRM is both a service and a command-line interface for remote and local management of servers. The service implements the WS-Management protocol on Windows Server 2012. WS-Management is a standard web services protocol for management of software and hardware remotely.
