While configuring a new server, I had to activate WinRM(Windows Remote Management).
This is quite easy thanks to the winrm quickconfig command. This command will do the following:
- Starts the WinRM service, and sets the service startup type to auto-start.
- Configures a listener for the ports that send and receive WS-Management protocol messages using either HTTP or HTTPS on any IP address.
- Defines ICF exceptions for the WinRM service, and opens the ports for HTTP and HTTPS.
To test the WinRM connection from another server, you can use the test-wsman command:
PS C:\Users\bawu> test-wsman -computername tstsrv30
If everything is OK, you’ll get the following answer back:
