To use HTTP for PowerShell remoting, run the following command on the host:
winrm quickconfig
Port 5985 is opened to listen to incoming connection. Sometimes, the connection from the remote PowerShell
does not work because of the following error:
Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot
process the request.
If the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos or if the client computer is not connected to a
domain, you must use HTTPS transport. Or, add the destination machine to the TrustedHosts configuration
setting.
Use the following command to configure TrustedHosts:
winrm.cmd
NOTE Computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated. For more information, run the
following command:
winrm help config
What to do next
You can also run the following command to remote host as trusted host on the client.
winrm set winrm/config/client'@{TrustedHosts="10.0.5.35"}'
