Disable-PSRemoting

Short description
Prevents remote users from running commands on the local computer.

Syntax


Description
The Disable-PSRemoting cmdlet prevents users on other computers from running commands on the local computer.


Disable-PSRemoting blocks remote access to all session configurations on the local computer. This prevents remote 
users from creating temporary or persistent sessions to the local computer. Disable-PSRemoting does not prevent users 
of the local computer from creating sessions ("PSSessions") on the local computer or remote computers.


To re-enable remote access to all session configurations, use the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet. To enable remote access to 
selected session configurations, use the AccessMode parameter of the Set-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet. You can also 
use the Enable-PSSessionConfiguration and Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlets to enable and disable session 
configurations for all users. For more information about session configurations, see about_Session_Configurations 
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=145152).


In Windows PowerShell 2.0, Disable-PSRemoting prevents all users from creating user-managed sessions ("PSSessions") to 
the local computer. In Windows PowerShell 3.0, Disable-PSRemoting prevents users on other computers from creating 
user-managed sessions on the local computer, but allows users of the local computer to create user-managed "loopback" 
sessions.


To run this cmdlet, start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option.


CAUTION: On systems that have both Windows PowerShell 3.0 and the Windows PowerShell 2.0 engine, do not use Windows 
PowerShell 2.0 to run the Enable-PSRemoting and Disable-PSRemoting cmdlets. The commands might appear to succeed, but 
the remoting is not configured correctly. Remote commands, and later attempts to enable and disable remoting, are 
likely to fail.
