Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure (AZ-800) Practice

When connecting to a Just Enough Administration (JEA) endpoint using remote PowerShell, it is necessary to specify the endpoint configuration name along with the remote computer name. This is because JEA uses endpoint configurations to define the settings and capabilities available for the connected users. Endpoint configurations are defined on the server and dictate what users can do once they establish a session. They encapsulate both the role capabilities assigned to the user and the specific session configuration settings necessary for establishing and managing the session. By providing the endpoint configuration name, PowerShell is able to identify which specific set of permissions and capabilities the user will operate under during their remote session. The other pieces of information such as the session configuration file name and role capability file name pertain to the underlying architecture of JEA but are not required to be specified directly during the remote connection. The session configuration is inherently tied to the endpoint configuration when the session is created. Specifying the computer name is redundant in this context, as the remote computer name is already being provided.
