## 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.*

This gist simply covers using a DSC configuration to configure an endpoint.

Load the DSC resource like any other function.
1. You can copy and paste the Configuration into a powershell console
2. You can dot source the script containing the configuration
EX: . c:\scripts\DSCConfiguration.ps1
Note - there are other ways as well but I have limited time...

Call the configuration by it's name and supply any parameters you need
Ex: CustomConfig -computername Host1 -outputpath c:\temp
