I’ve tried a few methods to execute command on remote windows using python, and pywinrm is definitely the way to go. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s worth it.
One tip: if you’re running into authentication issues, double-check your WinRM configuration. Sometimes the remote machine needs to be added to the TrustedHosts list.
Also, if you’re looking for a GUI-based tool to test WinRM before diving into Python, check out `WinRS`. It’s a command-line tool that uses WinRM and can help you troubleshoot.
Here’s a quick example of pywinrm in action:
```python
import winrm
session = winrm.Session('remote-pc', auth=('user', 'pass'))
result = session.run_cmd('ipconfig')
print(result.std_out)
```
Good luck!
