An error message describes a condition that prevents the software feature
from being installed. You must resolve the condition causing the error before
proceeding with the installation of the software feature. If you do not resolve
the issue, the software feature is not installed.
Use the RunPreReqChecks.exe /s command (at
\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker) to run the prerequisite
check silently. For more information, see "Prerequisite Checker."

Installing WinRM
Install WinRM version 1.1 if you are using the Windows Server 2003

Certificate Authority - Signed/Self-Signed Certificate
You need a certificate signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) or a
self-signed certificate to install and configure the Remote Enablement
feature on your system. It is recommended that you use a certificate signed by
the CA. You can also use the SelfSSL tool to generate self-signed certificates.
