Geoff Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted in the MSDN blog. Looking Forward: Microsoft: Support for Secure Shell (SSH) - Looking Forward: Microsoft: Support for Secure Shell (SSH) - Site Home - MSDN Blogs A popular request the PowerShell team has received is to use Secure Shell protocol and Shell session (aka SSH) to interoperate between Windows and Linux – both Linux connecting to and managing Windows via SSH and, vice versa, Windows connecting to and managing Linux via SSH. Thus, the combination of PowerShell and SSH will deliver a robust and secure solution to automate and to remotely manage Linux and Windows systems. I find it interesting that this is their third attempt at this as well.
Arthur Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I find it interesting that this is their third attempt at this as well. Probably their first attempt with the new CEO though. I reckon that makes a big difference.
Geoff Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Yes the Register article agrees with you. Holy SSH-it! Microsoft promises secure logins for Windows PowerShell • The Register
halbaradkenafin Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I think Satya is the best thing to happen to Microsoft for a while in terms of all the improvements we're seeing across their products.
Geoff Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I installed W2K16 Server Tech Preview 2 in a VM yesterday. It did not install a GUI by default. So I guess Windows Server is heading in a more command line driven direction too.

So I guess Windows Server is heading in a more command line driven direction too. What was previously called Server Core is the default now and you have to opt in for Server with a GUI (or whatever final name they come up with). Most of the management can be done via RSAT or PS, the only servers that really need a GUI are those where the installed software doesn't allow you to work remotely with it. Nano server (when it's released) won't even let you log in locally to it.
Geoff Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Yes I read that 3rd party vendors may be problematic for a while until they catch up with where Microsoft are heading.
mats Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 *hopes key-based auth gets included* "2016 Server Ultimate Edition" only, I bet. Key auth rocks.
Arthur Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 *hopes key-based auth gets included* It's the real OpenSSH so it should.
Geoff Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 I assume them it'll support all the normal stuff you can do with putty (GSSAPI w/SECURE32 and SSH Key Storage in AD) thereby getting you SSH Single Sign On.

Geoff Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 The Powershell team have announced their first code release. This is a fully ported OpenSSH to windows. They outline the milestones going into 2016 as well.
