Answer 1

Pywinrm to connect using domain user account:

In Remote Windows Machine

1. Make sure in the target windows machine the network connection type is "private", if it is "public" winrm would not get configured.

2. Open command prompt and type:

   winrm qc
   winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
   

3. Open Powershell and type:

   enable-psremoting
   set-item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts * # ('*' is for all hosts, you may specify the host you want)
   

In your Python Code

4. In your python script:

   import winrm
   
   host = 'YourWindowsHost'
   domain = 'YourDomain'
   user = 'YourDomainUser'
   password = 'YourPassword'
   
   session = winrm.Session(host, auth=('{}@{}'.format(user,domain), password), transport='ntlm')
   
   result = session.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all']) # To run command in cmd
   
   result = session.run_ps('Get-Acl') # To run Powershell block
