Setting and modifying Trusted Hosts with PowerShell
## Hey folks, this is just a quick walkthrough on modifying the trusted hosts property in WSMAN using Powershell
# By default PowerShell loads a PSDrive for the WinRM service
# We modify the trusted hosts property using the Set-Item cmdlet
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value 192.168.1.13
#This sets the value to 192.168.1.13, it also overwrites any existing values
# If you want to set a subnet you can use the PowerShell wildcard character
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value 192.168.1.*
# both the examples above will overwrite the current value of the trustedhosts property
# to add to instead of overwriting you need to use the concatenate dynamic parameter available in the WSMAN provider
# Thanks to @alexandair for that bit of info
set-item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "192.168.0.*" -Concatenate
#
# and that's all I have! I hope this was useful to someone
