Windows Remote Management (WinRM) for Ruby This is a SOAP library that uses the functionality in Windows Remote Management(WinRM) to call native object in Windows. This includes, but is not limited to, running batch scripts, powershell scripts and fetching WMI variables. For more information on WinRM, please visit Microsoft's WinRM site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384426.aspx). As of version 2.0, this gem retains the WinRM name but all powershell calls use the more modern Powershell Remoting Protocol (PSRP) (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd357801.aspx) for initializing runspace pools as well as creating and processing powershell pipelines.
