Zewei,

You did some consulting (4-5 years ago) for the company I worked for on a global SharePoint intranet project. Great work on that and for achieving this credential. Congratulations.

Harold, I don't think SPWebConfigModification class can store configuration changes to content or config databases (please correct me if I am wrong). It is just a convenient way to change web.config on all WFEs (implemented by a timer job behind the scene). However, you must still write some code to call the class and implement the changes to web.config, usually by a console app or an application page. And since you are doing that anyway, why not use property bags or Hierarchical Object Store, because they are stored in databases. Also, remember whenever you change web.config you recycle the application pool, and that could be a BIG problem for production.

Well first, you are completely wrong about web.config. With SPWebConfigModification, everything is backed by SQL Server and changes are made instantly across the farm. Advocating editing by notepad is preposterous.

Would this work for anonymous users. If a site has anonymous access enabled, would this solution remove the ribbon when they navigate to the site??????

"but keep getting prompted for your Windows credential" --

To clarify - the username for "$cred=Get-Credential" should be an administrator account on microsoftonline (office365, azure, onmicrosoft) NOT associated or synced with a Windows domain account.

Congratulations Dr. Z

As you sad, it is very hard, time consuming and expensive to achieve.

It is my goal for 2013.

Keep going buddy.

I am having this same problem but unfortunately that fix is not working. I get a response:

WinRM is already set up to receive requests on this computer.

WinRM is already set up for remote management on this computer.

I don't suppose you have any other ideas?
