PowerShell Server - Do you want to manage your Windows based systems remotely without using a heavy GUI interface like Remote Desktop?  Want to be able to configure your Windows servers from non-windows devices like your PDA or Blackberry?  With /n software PowerShell Server, you can.

Secure Remote Access to PowerShell - PowerShell Server is a secure access Remoting enhancement for Microsoft Windows PowerShell. PowerShell Server gives systems administrators and IT professionals the ability to enable Windows machines with a secure (SSH) remote entry point to a Windows PowerShell host.  PowerShell Server can act as a standalone server or can pass remote objects through the included SSHRunspace Cmdlet, enabling SSH secured remoting.

• Support for Secure Shell (SSH) Version 2.0.
• Security features include strong 3DES encryption, message integrity checking, secure secret key exchange.
• Unlimited concurrent remote connections.
• SSH-enabled cmdlets for programmatic access to PowerShell Server.

SSH Enabled Remoting - When the NetCmdlets V2 SSHRunspace Cmdlet connects to PowerShell Server, the objects in the remote shell are XML serialized and returned through a secure SSH connection.  On the client side, SSHRunspace will transparently deserialize to PSObjects with corresponding fields matching the remote objects. The returned objects can be pipelined, evaluated, and stored as any other PSObject.
