Remote chaining starts a second remote connection from inside an existing session. It can create confusing connection paths and unnecessary server overhead, so avoid it unless the first computer must act as a middleman. section 13.5
Recognizing a second hop
After connecting from Ubuntu1 to SRV2, the prompt displays the remote computer name. Running Enter-PSSession again from that prompt creates a chain. This may be necessary when SRV2 sits behind a firewall, but it should not be the normal approach. section 13.5
Enter-PSSession -HostName Ubuntu1 -UserName tylerl Enter-PSSession -ComputerName SRV2 -UserName contoso\tylerl
Use these commands to compare a direct connection with a second connection initiated from an existing remote session. section 13.5
