Uninstall program via powershell
This is useful if using remote shell to do things. I used this when I migrated from RemoteUtilities (great software, but I can’t seem to find a cheap host for a Windows OS, MeshCentral only requires a small Linux server) to MeshCentral. I was able to use the remote shell through SentinelOne to do this. SentinelOne is by far the best NextGenAV out there.
If remote shell uses CMD we’re going to want to open/start powershell

Remote Control Terminal Session Windows Server
I just learned that you can remote control terminal sessions. They call it shadowing. I’ve only done it on Windows Server 2012 r2, but was super easy. You just need to open server manager, go to remote desktop services, then collections, then QuickSessionsCollections. Then you’ll see the connections in the upper right hand corner. Once you find the one you want you right click on the session and hit Shadow. By default this will ask the user to allow, if you want to override that and allows allow you can do the following group policy change.
