描述

From time to time people ask for Windows support and the goal is to also support it.

To support windows we have (imho) 2 options:

SSH Server on Windows

There are some ssh servers that can be installed on windows. So the easiest way to support windows would be to install such a sshd server on a windows box and write some modules for Rex to support inventory, services, users, packages, ...

Using Windows Remote Management (WinRM)

This is a SOAP Webservice that ships since Windows 2003 (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384426(v=vs.85).aspx)

With this we don't need to install 3rd party services on a windows box but it would be more work to add support for this.

研究方向
The issue proposes two approaches for Windows support: using an SSH server on Windows or using Windows Remote Management (WinRM). The first approach requires writing Rex modules for inventory, services, etc. The second involves implementing a SOAP client for WinRM. To proceed, the maintainer should evaluate the feasibility and decide on an approach. Initial research could investigate existing Perl modules for WinRM or SSH on Windows.
