Remote administration

[g00ey]

I wonder if it is possible to administrate a Windows machine remotely over ssh now that we have the god almighty divine super mega PowerShell and everything.

For example I would want to manage updates of windows, msoffice, acrobat etc over ssh or be able to make changes in the control panel at discretion using command line syntax. Security authorization should be done with an entity similar to sudo, pfexec etc.

Now it that possible?

As Windows 7 doesn't support SSH out of the box, I'm guessing the answer is "no".

But Windows does not come with PowerShell out of the box either and as I imagine later iterations of this enterprise have become more and more adapted for remote administration maybe such features have become supported. You can do quite a bit of things with the net command already when it comes to administration of CIFS shares and ACLs.
