Installing and Configuring WinRM
To collect process information from remote Windows installations, the Cartridge for
Guest Process Investigation relies on Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to
expose the process information data. While some Windows installations include
WinRM, others require download and installation.
The Cartridge for Guest Process Investigation is compatible with two types of WinRM
authentication:
• Encrypted (HTTPS) basic authentication
• Unencrypted (HTTP) basic authentication
After WinRM is installed and properly configured, ensure that process information
collection is successful before moving on to the configuration of other WinRM
installations.
The following provides WinRM installation and configuration procedures:
• Downloading WinRM
• WinRM Configuration
• Listening for Remote Connections

• Windows XP (x86 and 64-bit systems)
WinRM Configuration
During configuration of WinRM, it is recommended that you reference WinRM help if
required for more specific configuration instructions. Type "winrm" at the command
prompt to access help.
Note After configuration is complete, ensure the Windows Remote Management service is
started.
