It seems that activity in this repo has picked up again and some major changes are planned. I would request that before any further radical changes are done, stamp a release (tag) with a version number so that any projects that rely on the library can be installed on a stable (or at least known) point in time. I am relying on a forked version, but would like to point back to the original repo or pypi at some point. thanks

Hi,

Would it be possible to get a newer versioned release (eg: 0.0.4) of this package uploaded to PyPI that includes the 'debug print' statement removal change made in e78fc10? My application cannot talk to GitHub directly and http://github.com/diyan/pywinrm/archive/master.zip will not remain the same if you push a new version.

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to pywinrm in OS X terminal. but receive error.

how can i using command T.T

tried to commands.
s = winrm.Session('http://ad_ip:5985/wsman', auth=('ad_account', 'password'))
or
s = winrm.Session('http://ad_ip:5985/wsman', auth=('administrator', 'password'))
and
r = s.run_cmd(ps_script)

During the get_command_output(self, shell_id, command_id), the first call to "_raw_get_command_output(shell_id, command_id)"
returns as it should, however since the command is still running the command will run a second time. On the second call, I get the following error.

It seems that ansible is unable to connect to windows hosts even when it does have a valid kerberos token.

Ansible 1.9.4 on OS X 10.11, klist returns a valid token.

As a note, I observed that ansible will try to connect only if I do specify ansible_ssh_user variable. The same setup works OK if I try to use a local-user account instead of a domain account but we do really need domain accounts in order to be able to execute some restricted commands.

ansible_ssh_user: [email protected]
ansible_ssh_port: 5985
ansible_connection: winrm

Sorry for breaking changes in pywinrm library.

I'm developing two level of APIs within library.

Low-level API will be closer to WinRM protocol and should not be used by end user unless you would like have full control.

Standard API is inspired on requests and envoy libraries by Kenneth Reitz.

Right now standard API is still unstable and I'm open to any suggestions and improvements.

Standard API example (in progress)

import pywinrm

s = pywinrm.Session('windows-host', auth=('john.smith', 'secret'))
r = s.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])
>>> r.status_code
0
>>> r.std_out
Windows IP Configuration

   Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : WINDOWS-HOST
   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
...
>>> r.std_err

Low-level API example

from pywinrm.protocol import Protocol

p = Protocol(
    endpoint='http://windows-host:5985/wsman',
    transport='plaintext',
    username='john.smith',
    password='secret')
shell_id = p.open_shell()
command_id = p.run_command(shell_id, 'ipconfig', ['/all'])
std_out, std_err, status_code = p.get_command_output(shell_id, command_id)
p.cleanup_command(shell_id, command_id)
p.close_shell(shell_id)

Due to an update in the default behavior of Python with ssl http clients in the latest releases (2.7.9), ssl verification is now performed by default. Additionally, I was unable to make the verification work by adding the certificate to my system ca trust store.

I think the original behavior should be left as default and a new option should be added to support verification.

See this page for details: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0476/

Hi All,

The current Protocol 'transport' argument accepts 'plaintext', 'ssl', and 'kerberos'
As we know, these not transports, but HTTP authentication mechanisms: basic, certificate and kerberos.

class Protocol(object):
..
def __init__(self, endpoint, transport='plaintext', username=None..

The transport protocol is already in protocol portion of the endpoint url (http:// or https://)

So, shouldn't this parameter be called 'authentication' or something?

Thanks
Ian

I am testing the code sample below, but I can only run this code successfully if I first KINIT [email protected] from BASH and provide the credentials.

s = winrm.Session('server.company.com', transport='kerberos', auth=('[email protected]', 'password'))
r = s.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])

Otherwise I get this error:

winrm.exceptions.WinRMTransportError: 500 WinRMTransport. Kerberos-based authentication was failed. Code 401

It should be noted that I had to Allow unencrypted traffic in the Group Policy for WinRM Service in order to make it work even with the KINIT credential in place. That singular change was all that necessary in order to make this work. Just need to get this part sorted.

First, thanks for this library, it is really cool. But I discovered that it pollutes stdout or stderr with XML content (did not investigate further). Can this output be somehow muted? It is making our jenkins jobs' results harder to read :)

Hi @diyan,

I find pywinrm an awesome library to interact with Windows, that's why I'm using it as part of a pull request to oz (clalancette/oz#174) to implement the customization phase for Windows guests.

Unfortunately, one of the stoppers for the PR is that pywinrm is not packaged in the Fedora/EPEL repositories, where the oz RPM and its dependencies are available.

Said that, what do you think about adding support to package pywinrm as an RPM make it available in Fedora/EPEL? (more info: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers)

Thanks!

I love what is here and would like to know more about this project to expand the capability of what pywinrm can do. Most importantly, I want to add the capability to send stdin to the running process. Can this be easily done? or is this impossible?

After trying different approaches of using Kerberos transport for pywinrm library ended up with writing my own binding.

I did managed to work with authentication itself by using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/kerberos library but main challenge here is to implement message encryption.

Looks like neither kerberos, python-krb5 nor python-krbV binding did not expose required API.

I was really amazed how CFFI library can help you with writing bindings for Python.

For everyone who is interested please go ahead check source code here:

https://github.com/diyan/pywinrm/blob/kerberos_cffi/tests/test_kerberos_api.py

Note this version does not work at all but I'm hoping to get this stuff usable soon.

Hi,
Will there be any possibility of doing file transfer using pywinrm? I need to upload a
file to Windows Machine from my Python Program.

Thanks
Vipul

you may want to add the word winrm in the description also

I am trying to run a puppet provisioning manifest file. Ex. C:\manifests\dothis.pp.
The entire command is 'puppet apply C:\manifests\dothis.pp'.
I receive: Error: Could not run: Could not find file C:\manifests\dothis.pp.
The file exists. If I paste the file path and name from the error directly into the VM, things work as expected.
I have looked for non-printable chars, etc. in the full command. It all looks good. I am at a loss.

Thanks,
-Mark

when i run repeatedly the below codes, i will get the upon picture(many TIME_WAIT):

    import winrm
    ps_script = """$strComputer = $Host
    Clear
    $RAM = WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem
    $MB = 1048576

    "Installed Memory: " + [int]($RAM.TotalPhysicalMemory /$MB) + " MB" """

    s = winrm.Session('10.0.0.8', auth=('Administrator', '1'))
    r = s.run_ps(ps_script)
    print r.std_out

the managed host is windows 2003 with winrm 1.1

Hi,

I am new to Windows RM, but I found your library and wanted to use it to replace some complex code I inherited. We are authenticating using the Negotiate/Ntlm option. Does pywinrm support this? If so, do you have an example usage? So far, I just keep getting "401 Unauthorized".

Thanks!!
Kathy

When running a command using the example provided on the github project page, output was formatted as follows -

Example

b' Volume in drive C is OSDisk\r\n'b' Volume Serial Number is CE5D-2D9B\r\n\r\n Directory of C:\Users\winrmtest\r\n\r\n03/08/2015 12:53

For longer outputs, there would be multiple b' entries within the context owing to the string append that takes place.

I made the following in protocol.py which seem to resolve the issue in question -

Before:
stdout += str(base64.b64decode(stream_node.text.encode('ascii')))

After:
stdout += base64.b64decode(stream_node.text.encode('ascii')).decode('utf-8')

Example output after changes:

Volume in drive C is OSDisk
Volume Serial Number is CE5D-2D9B

Directory of C:\Users\winrmtest

Using winexe works:

test

Using the local administrator also works:

>>> s.run_cmd('echo test')
<Response code 0, out "test

kind regards,

I believe I am doing things correctly and this is not working. Any help is appreciated.

ImportError: No module named pywinrm

Hi there,
I've been using your module behind ansible for provisioning a windows host. However the most slow part seems to be the file transfers / upload over winrm protocol.

Due to the way ansible implements it's windows support (exclusively through winrm)... it would be best if we could stick to just using py-winrm.

While recently it seems those in another community (who also rely upon winrm) may have stumbled across a marvelous idea. And here it is:

packer-community/winrmcp#6 (comment)

Sorry I don't know if it can be done here. Not really my area of expertise but could you please be so kind as to take a look? It might prove to be a worthwhile avenue of investigation. And generate a clear improvement in file transfer speeds. Many thanks for any interest.

I'm using cPython 3.5 on Mac OS X. When I try to run a PowerShell script remotely, I get an exception:

TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str.

Any thoughts on what could cause this? The repro is in the screenshot.

I did a fork of xmlwitch library with Python 3 support and tried push changes into upstream project but looks like this project is not maintained anymore.

So, intead of support own fork I'm gong to switch into xmltodict library for several reasons:

1. More active development
2. Python 3 support out of box
3. Based on dictionary and not on context manager
4. Provides API for both parsing and writing

This is more of an information request than an issue. I've got pywinrm working, but I have a specific need to authenticate using a domain account and password which is not know to me in advance.

I understand that the Negotiate authentication method might support this. Is this a planned (or even possible) feature?

Can you suggest any way possible to authenticate, using credentials specified at run time, preferably without using Kerberos at all?

Thanks!

Does this support CredSSP and double hops?

After reading this article, our windows admin is convinced that the credentials are just being donated to "man in the middle". Can we make pywinrm more secure? I am ready to help in this endeavour.

I have attempted the most basic call and receive this error:

I can connect to the server from Windows Servers without issue. No firewall rules or anything in the way to block connectivity.

First of all thanks on the great library, we use it constantly. However i feld that i could really use some live feed of stdout and stderr from the local machine; So I've added some really basic support for writing into streams. This enables to pipe the stdour and stderr into some stream (providied by the user).
Note this is works only when the response isn't in xml format (as xml stream needs to be decoded).

Pull request submitted.

Just wondering :)

Could you please help me with this here..

Can anybody provide an example on how to get kerberos working for pywinrm ? I am trying to use this with Ansible 1.7 to manage windows server remotely and have spent half day on this topic online but could not find anything.

License file is missing. This is important for adoption and getting forks.

I followed the instructions on RHEL7 and was greeted with:

ImportError: No module named isodate.isoduration

This non-standard module dependency should be documented in the README.md file.

I tend to fire some commands repeatedly in a loop. After 3 or 4th loop it gives following error. I am running the loop in Process using multiprocessing module. For single operations it works fine but in a repeated loop it throws exception. Is it some threading problem here ?

I'm trying with executing the following sample code

r = s.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])

I faced "TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str" error. After googling the issue, I found that that the POST data should be encoded and hence I added a patch in urllib to encode the data.

After the patch, I'm getting "ValueError: AbstractBasicAuthHandler does not support the following scheme: 'Negotiate'". While debugging I found that there are two values for WWW-authenticate in the headers
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="WSMAN"
and urllib is taking the first value (Negotiate)

How the headers are passed to urllib and is there any options to modify it? How can I solve the issue?

Hello,

I'm looking at packaging this module for Debian, and noticed that you are producing regular releases but suggest that people download directly from master.

I wondered if you would consider making releases too, since this would make it easier to keep track of versions installed. We can work around this by renaming master.tar.gz to include 0.0.3+20150522, but this is a bit ugly and needs manual intervention.

Thanks for your work on this project!

P.S. the bug report about adding this to Debian is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760962

I attempted to get the readme example to work but could not. I think this may be because the library is a work in progress?

Here is an example I did get to work assuming the winrm directory is in the sys.path ...

cmd = "dir c:\"
address = "123.123.123.123"
user = "administrator"
password = "zzzzzzzzzzz"

import winrm
from winrm import winrm_service

winrm = winrm_service.WinRMWebService(endpoint=address, transport='plaintext',
    username=user, password=password)

shell_id = winrm.open_shell()
command_id = winrm.run_command(shell_id, cmd)
buff, stderr, return_code = winrm.get_command_output(shell_id, command_id)

winrm.cleanup_command(shell_id, command_id)
winrm.close_shell(shell_id)

print buff
print stderr
print return_code

Below is email that I've got from @cchurch.

I'm not entirely sure what approach we should follow - try to stick with Python stdlib or use requests.

On the one hand we may keep dependencies as less as possible and may even consider to concatenate all sources into single super-module like I saw in defnull/bottle and amoffat/sh.

It could be very convenient for Linux system administrators just do a wget/curl and start using this library at almost any Linux box right away.

On the other hand we may start to use super popular library that everyone knows which will make some things for us much simpler. Code will be simpler than now and we will have less warries on Python 2/3 compatibility at transport level.

I would happy to hear any opinions, especially from people thad did contributions ( @alexpilotti @cournape @gemagomez @bigschwan @pdunnigan and others ) .

@cchurch:
I've taken a shot at rewriting the transport class to use requests (and requests-kerberos and a modified copy of requests-ntlm) for the following reasons:

• Keeping the connection alive to avoid reconnecting or re-authenticating for each message
• Adding support for NTLM authentication
• Trying multiple authentication schemes based on what the server supports (e.g. trying kerberos but falling back to NTLM or basic)

See https://github.com/cchurch/pywinrm/blob/transport-refactor/winrm/requests_transport.py

It works for me but hasn't been extensively tested yet, doesn't fully implement certificate auth, etc.

I would be interested in your feedback and comments - do you think you'd be interested in including these changes in the project (with additional cleanup and tests)?

Please publish here https://pypi.python.org/ so more people can find it :-)

thanks for your work!

Hi,
I am getting this issue when i execute the script

TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of ty
pe str

import winrm
s = winrm.Session('windows-host.example.com', auth=('john.smith', 'secret'))
r = s.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])

Please help me how to solve this issue asap.

WinRM works well with certificate authentication to provide password-less authentication on Windows (kind of: SSH + public keys).

It'd be great to add support for it here as well.

Note: we are starting to use WinRM + certificate auth heavily in OpenStack, with automated server side WinRM configuration on the guest OS:

https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init/blob/master/cloudbaseinit/plugins/windows/winrmcertificateauth.py

I met a problem,about Double hop permissions,access denied.

Sometimes command passes without any problems but it's rare.

It also breaks PowerShell connectivity for some time - in most cases i need to reboot server to regain it.

I am stuck at this point and i have no idea how to fix it so if you have any suggestions please respond.

Thanks

Unfortunatly, I am not a collaborator on this repo.... Yet. Therefore, I cannot reopen
#72
...

Looking at the code, it seems that https is implemented while the documentation is missing any signs of it.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

On pypi, pywinrm is as of sept3, 2013. Please update https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywinrm

The major difference is the xml processing is different and the ssl transport.

I would rather point dependent code at pypi than github master branch.

Thanks

Hello.

Can you please tag 0.0.2dev so it can be used as a release version? This will make it available as a download at "Releases".
