Description
• DMTF WS-Management Specications: www.dmtf.org/standards/wbem/wsman
WinRM tool sets a default response timeout of 60 seconds for all WSMan commands it sends out. WinRM does not
allow varying this timeout interval.
Using “winrm set winrm/cong @{MaxTimeoutms ="80000"}” does not change the timeout due to a bug in the
WinRM tool. Therefore, it is recommended that WinRM is not used for commands that may take more than one
minute to complete execution.
The use of libraries that create SOAP-XML packets is recommended since users can congure the timeout duration
using these libraries.
For client connection using Microsoft WinRM, the minimum required version is 2.0. For more information, refer to the
Microsoft article, <support.microsoft.com/kb/968929>.
