Server Core + PSRemoting is pretty decent! If I have to build a Windows server, I'm doing it without the DE if I can avoid it. And if I need to connect to any Windows server ever, I avoid having to RDP if I can.

Yeah, absolutely fair enough! Unfortunate attribute of the game of YouTube it seems. I dig the shorter, condensed, but not "short form content" approach.

For sure. I wish they did more with open source in mind. It's gotten a little better over time, but there's much room for improvement.

Because Windows PowerShell (5.1) is built on .NET Framework 4.5 and PowerShell (7.x) is built on .NET Core. The amount of stuff that is built on Windows PowerShell and .NET Framework 4.5 is insane, and backwards-compatibility is important to them.

I was JUST looking into this for a few orgs and had added the authnmethodreferences claim but wasn't sure if multipleauthn would be honored since it wasn't on their documentation's list of accepted methods! Thanks for the timely share, Merrill!
