Microsoft has just released System Center 2016 Technical Preview 2

 

and amongst the features it includes are native SSH support, yup that's right you can SSH in to your SCCM 2016 box !

I'll test it shortly and report back, but this really is cool, cool to see Microsoft embracing other operating systems 'methods' of accessing systems and management, it would be like Linux starting to offer PowerShell in the kernel !

Interesting how that would work. Would that mean you could ssh into a windows machine from linux. Or that I could just ssh from a windows machine to a linux machine. Or does it go both ways? Have you tried it yet?
