PyWinOS

The cross-platform tool to work with remote and local Windows OS.

PyWinOS uses the Windows Remote Manager (WinRM) service. It can establish connection to a remote server based on Windows OS and execute commands:

• PowerShell
• Command line
• WMI.

It can execute commands locally using subprocess and command-line too.

For more information on WinRM, please visit Microsoft’s WinRM site It based on pywinrm.

PyWinOS returns object with exit code, stdout and sdtderr response.
