💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase or altered hostname that might not resolve correctly.

Including invalid characters in the hostname.

PowerShell remoting over SSH is case-insensitive for hostnames, but best practice is to use the exact hostname as registered. 'Server03' matches the expected hostname format.

Fill both blanks to create a new SSH session to 'Server04' and run a command to get the OS version.

PowerShell

$session = New-PSSession -HostName [1]
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { [2] }

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong hostname in the first blank.

Using a command unrelated to OS info in the second blank.

The first blank needs the remote hostname 'Server04' to create the session. The second blank runs the command to get the OS version using Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a session to 'Server05', run a command to list services, and then close the session.

PowerShell

Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { [2] }
[3] -Session $session

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
