If WinRm has not been configured on any client systems with which you are working that were not provisioned by the Remote

Provisioning feature, do the following command at an administrative command prompt:

NOTE: Configure the client system’s firewall to accept WinRM commands.

NOTE: To retrieve the current WinRM settings, use the following command: winrm get winrm/config. If you are

using a Group Policy Object-controlled setting, the command displays this information.

1. Enter winrm quickconfig

2. Press y to continue if prompted Do you want to configure winrm?

3. winrm set winrm/config/client @{AllowUnencrypted="false"}

4. winrm set winrm/config/client/auth @{Digest="true"}

5. winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="MANAGEMENT_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS"}

The WinRM is configured.

NOTE: When you provision a client system by Remote Provisioning, WinRm is automatically configured on the client

system.
