Azure Automation Hybrid Workers with PowerShell Remoting and Credential Resources

This video is a follow-up to a previous one on Azure Automation with Arc-enabled Hybrid Workers. Hybrid Workers extend runbooks to a private network, but not every computer needs to be a Hybrid Worker. In this video, we review using PowerShell Remoting with Hybrid Workers to build idempotent runbooks that target computers inside a private network. Then we use a shared credential resource to authenticate the runbook in the local environment. Multiple examples showing how to target other systems with PowerShell from the Hybrid Worker are provided.

07:58 - Create the Automation Runbook
09:45 - Azure Automation Credentials

Hi @travis, Have one question. How to ensure the powershell commands used in runbook are signed ?How do I execute signed powershell commands in runbook

TY Travis really appreciate your demos!
Was wondering if you ever tried "Set-AzVMADDomainExtension" to join azure vm to AD? Maybe one of your future demo u could cover it as well. TY again!

Can we run this on machines that are only joined in AzureAD? or how do we handle this with those machines?

Hi Travis, nice video! is there a way to automatically run runbook in hybrid worker without going to edit pane?

Hi Travis, just wondering how it will work to a hybrid worker which is not domain joined? ex: Get-ADUser?
