Invoke Powershell 7 commands in Hyper-V VM without Admin

To invoke PowerShell 7 commands in a Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) without administrative privileges, you can use PowerShell Remoting. PowerShell Remoting allows you to run commands on remote machines, including virtual machines, without requiring administrative access. Here's how you can accomplish this:

1. Enable PowerShell Remoting on the VM:
   On the Hyper-V VM, open a PowerShell session with administrative privileges and run the following command to enable PowerShell Remoting:

   powershellCopy code
   Enable-PSRemoting -Force
   
   

2. Configure Trusted Hosts:
   By default, PowerShell Remoting only allows connections to trusted hosts. To configure the host running the command to be a trusted host on the VM, run the following command on the VM:

   powershellCopy code
   Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value <your_host_name> -Force
   
   

   Replace <your_host_name> with the name or IP address of the machine running the PowerShell commands.

3. Connect to the VM:
   On the machine running the PowerShell commands, open a PowerShell session and run the following command to establish a remote session with the VM:

   powershellCopy code
   Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <VM_name_or_IP> -Credential <VM_credentials>
   
   

   Replace <VM_name_or_IP> with the name or IP address of the VM you want to connect to, and <VM_credentials> with the credentials (username and password) to authenticate on the VM.

4. Run PowerShell 7 Commands:
   Once connected to the VM through the remote session, you can execute PowerShell 7 commands on the VM. For example:

   powershellCopy code
   Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { Get-Process }
   
   

   The above command retrieves the list of processes running on the VM.

By using PowerShell Remoting, you can invoke PowerShell 7 commands on a Hyper-V VM without requiring administrative privileges on the host machine. Ensure that you have the necessary network connectivity and appropriate permissions to establish a remote session with the VM.
