If you want to operate powershell interactively on remote machine you should reconnect to it after restart:
enter-pssession -computername <yourserver>

Open in new window


It is possible to run ServerManager on workstation, but requires tools to be installed (RSAT - Remote Server Administration Toolkit)

i also tried to install using cmd:
To install Remote Server Administration Tools by using a command line

    Open a Command Prompt window with elevated user rights by right-clicking the Command Prompt executable, or the Command Prompt object on the Start menu, and then clicking Run as administrator.

    At the prompt, type the following, where command Id represents the identifier (found in the previous table) for the tools that you want to install, and then press ENTER.

    ServerManagerCmd.exe -install <command Id> 

Open in new window


command id? ??
now i cant find there remote administrative tools
,i run a powershell script to enable multiple users and i restart rdp and now i cannot find servr manager how to enable it?

You wrote that you're connecting thru rdp, so get back to rdp, connect and then start powershell.
ok i run nromal powesrehll or as administrator? ok ,next?
It depends on UAC settings and what you want to do on that machine. For simplicity start as administrator. Open remote desktop (Win->Run->mstsc), connec to to desired machine, start powershell.
i did that, next?ok tell me step by step please and if a problem appear ur here and we can solve this problem
Now verify what's the operationg system you're connected to:
(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).OperatingSystemSKU;
(Get-WindowsFeature -Name 'Server-Gui-Shell').Installed

this rdp server accept only 1 user dones't allow 2 users connectiing at the same time
From results above it is clear that you're on your workstation not server, that's why ServerManager doesn't work.
In case you want to have this feature on a workstation you need to install RSAT.
First download them, next install, then turn windows features on/off from link you provided.
