PowerShell - Remote Management

You attempt to run Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Server01 but receive an "Access is denied" error. Which of the following is the most probable cause?

AThe Enter-PSSession cmdlet is not installed

BThe remote computer name is misspelled

CPowerShell remoting is disabled on your local machine

DYour user account lacks permission to access the remote computer

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the error message
An "Access is denied" error typically indicates permission issues.
Step 2: Analyze options
Misspelling the computer name would cause a connection failure, not access denied. Remoting disabled locally or missing cmdlet would cause different errors.
Final Answer:
Your user account lacks permission to access the remote computer -> Option D
Quick Check:
Access denied means permission problem, not connectivity [OK]

Quick Trick: Access denied usually means insufficient permissions [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming access denied means the computer is unreachable
Ignoring credential or permission issues
Confusing local remoting settings with remote permissions
