pywinrm Build Status Coverage Status

pywinrm is a Python client for Windows Remote Management (WinRM). This allows you to invoke commands on target Windows machines from any machine that can run Python.

WinRM allows you to call native objects 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.

Requirements

  • Linux, Mac OS X or Windows
  • CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 or PyPy 1.9
  • python-kerberos is optional

Installation

To install pywinrm, simply

$ pip install http://github.com/diyan/pywinrm/archive/master.zip

In order to use Kerberos authentication you need optional dependency

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libkrb5-dev
$ pip install kerberos

Example Usage

Standard API example (in progress)

import winrm

s = winrm.Session('http://windows-host.example.com:5985/wsman', auth=('john.smith', 'secret'))
r = s.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])
>>> r.status_code
0
>>> r.std_out
Windows IP Configuration

   Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : WINDOWS-HOST
   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
...
>>> r.std_err

Powershell example

Powershell scripts can be executed using WinRM. The script will be base64 UTF16 little endian encoded prior to sending to the Windows machines. Error messages are converted from the Powershell CLIXML format to a human readable format as a convenience.

import winrm

ps_script = """$strComputer = $Host
Clear
$RAM = WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem
$MB = 1048576

"Installed Memory: " + [int]($RAM.TotalPhysicalMemory /$MB) + " MB" """

s = winrm.Session('http://windows-host.example.com:5985/wsman', auth=('john.smith', 'secret'))
r = s.run_ps(ps_script)
>>> r.status_code
0
>>> r.std_out
Installed Memory: 3840 MB

>>> r.std_err

Low-level API example

from winrm.protocol import Protocol

p = Protocol(
    endpoint='http://windows-host:5985/wsman',
    transport='plaintext',
    username='john.smith',
    password='secret')
shell_id = p.open_shell()
command_id = p.run_command(shell_id, 'ipconfig', ['/all'])
std_out, std_err, status_code = p.get_command_output(shell_id, command_id)
p.cleanup_command(shell_id, command_id)
p.close_shell(shell_id)

Enable Basic Auth (Insecure)

winrm set winrm/config/client/auth @{Basic="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
