Connecting with powershell to a nano 2016 server

Hi,

Has anyone been succesful in connecting to a Windows Sano 2016 server from an Arch linux workstation?

I have powershell installed however when running an Enter-PSSession command, I get an error message saying "This paramater set requires WSMan".  I have OpenWSMan and wsmancli installed from the aur.

I cannot run a Set-Item WSMan:\... command successfully either.  The error message returned is "Cannot find dirve.  A drive with the name 'WSMan' does not exist."  This is not entirely suprising as I have never setup any kind of WSMan drive.  I am completely lost on how to do so and my Google-fu is not returning anything of value here.

I'm sure I am missing something simple.  Any incite would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you taken a look at Powershell repo's wiki SSH Remoting page? It's weird that it makes no mention of making sure WSMan is working. Does $PSVersionTable shows WSManStackVersion entry?

Consider creating a bug report issue over at the Powershell repo.
