1. Write Server Information & Error to EventLog (Source: PowerShellRemoting). Log file will no longer be used by newer version.


2. SSL support using SSLStream.

Warning: SSL is for advanced user.
If you want to provide SSL support to server, you should



• Get X509 certificate for server. For testing purpose, you can use makecert.exe (included in .NET framework SDK)
  
• Install X509 certificate at StoreLocation: LocalMachine, StoreName: My (personal).
  
• Grand "NetworkService" account read access to X509 certificate associated private key file.
  
• Set [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PowerShellRemoting\Parameters\ X509] to thumbprint of X509 Certificate.
  
  There is pretty good walkthrough at John Howard's blog.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PowerShellRemoting\Parameters]
"X509"="0"


4. DebugHost Option (Default 0: false)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PowerShellRemoting\Parameters]
"DebugHost"=dword:00000000


5. Bug fix: Write-Progress throw null object Exception.
