Snapcenter 4.4 and Windows 10

Using SnapCentre 4.4. Can we use the powershell CMDLETS on our windows 10 machines? We'd like our sysadmins to be able to use the powershell cli to start backups/clones etc. without logging into the UI or the Snapcenter server.

SnapCenter host installation is supported only on Windows Server OS editions, not on Windows client OS versions.

So any automation or interaction with the Powershell CMDLETS would need to be done from a Powershell remoting session to a Windows Server?

You will find SnapCenter PowerShell Modules only on the SnapCenter server, or a SnapCenter application host.

If you are trying to do 'Open-SmConnection' from any of the SnapCenter application host, then you can make use of -SMSbaseUrl where you specify the SnapCenter Server URL path.
