Here's a super quick howto for using PowerShell like you Linux dudes use SSH to remotely console into a server.
First, make sure Windows Remote Management is setup on the target server. So RDP onto the box and open a command prompt. Run this:
winrm quickconfig
Now that's setup, close RDP and on your client admin dev type box, open PowerShell 2.0
Run the following commands.
$domainAdmin = Get-Credential
# Enter your domain admin or other privileged credentials in the box that pops up.
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName web3-pool2-ln -Credential $domainAdmin
After a few seconds the prompt should change and you're in. Use 'exit' to come out.
