How To Execute Powershell Command On Windows Devices Using SureMDM Remote Screen

For a long time now, the ability to access machines remotely has been key to ensuring seamless business operations. And today, we can hardly imagine life without this functionality. Depending on the operating system you are using, there are diverse ways to connect to a remote machine, but the two main protocols are:

• Secure Shell (SSH) for Linux-based machines
• Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for Windows-based machines

In this blog, you will learn the steps to:

• Add support for remote PowerShell for Windows devices using SureMDM

• Add support to access the remote PowerShell from the dynamic job
• Add support to access the remote PowerShell from the Remote Support tab
