Gaining Access


1) Click here to register.

2) You will receive an automated email to which you need to click the link to verify your email address and activate your account.

3) Download the PoSh Hunter VM (https://goo.gl/zwGbgc) and log in using the credentials below. For your convenience, there is an OVF and VMDK version available. I recommend VMWare Player (free) or VMWare Workstation (30 free trial).

        User: administrator
        Pass: PA$$word0123456

4) Once you are logged in, PowerShell_ISE.exe and PowerShell.exe will open.

5) This is a trial VM so you will need to "rearm" the license. To do so, type "slmgr /rearm" within PowerShell and restart the system. This will set the VM license to expire in 180 days.
