I'm interested in how this is going to work in PowerShell with the way everything works now, if there happen to be any details about that (whether here, somewhere else, or a past link)?
I don't know anything about PowerShell, but I have a similar question, I think: how is this going to work? Will I be able to do something like this command line (from my *nix machine)?
ssh user@windows.machine.local dir d: | less
You should be able to do that just fine. 'dir d:' runs on the windows box and 'less' on the unix box.
Excellent. That's very useful!
This is a key thing I'm curious about. How is drive mapping handled? If I "net use d: \\host\share" from one session, it won't nessarily translate and mount D: to all sessions (or will it)?
I can't check right now, but if you have two local users, Delta and Gamma, and Gamma mounts D:\, does Delta see it or is it specific to Gamma's session?
Drive letter mappings differ even between Delta and when Delta opens a command prompt as administrator.
Mapped network drives are for each user separately. Actually, they are even different for the limited administrator token and the elevated one (e.g. if I run something as administrator here I won't see my mapped network drives, but instead have to use UNC paths).
