How to set up Windows 10 remotely?

Question

System administration

I have always dealt only with nix servers, where you can automate the configuration and installation of the necessary software via SSH. There and ansible can be used for automation and other things. And then it happened to deal with a Windows server, and not even a server, but a regular Windows 10 installed on the server. Initially, there is only RDP. How can the number of manual actions be minimized? Install manually SSH server, and then everything through it? Or are there more convenient ways?

Answer 1

Windows has Powershell. Powerful automation environment. Study manuals.

Answer 2

AD + GPO

On a good note, all client Windows management is best done through group policies.
Almost everything is possible there.

Answer 3

there is a built-in graphical tool in Windows - C:\Windows\System32\msra.exe
it can also be found in C:\Windows\System32\msconfig.exe
by default, protocols 3389 and 135 are blocked, which can prevent sending a "request" to a remote help through %WinDir%\System32\msra.exe, and to disable it, you can use a graphical tool, and then find and change it, or create rules for these ports:
firewall.cpl
or you can use the command line (as administrator):
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Remote Access" protocol=TCP localport=3389 action=allow dir=IN
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Remote Access" protocol=TCP localport=135 action=allow dir=IN

Answer 4

ansible can also work with Windows:
