Checks about the WinRM service on the remote machine

Question

I saw a great article
PowerShell 2.0 Removal Guide: Part 8 - Remote Scripting and Troubleshooting
http://www.ravichaganti.com/blog/?p=1181

I have this problem: I have two computers in a domain, on a network.

The first test is OK: removing to a computer in a domain from a computer in a domain

COMPANY_DOMAIN \ desmonitor is a domain user.
Domain COMPANY_DOMAIN
Computer: iis01

PS C: \ Users \ myUser> Enter-PSSession -Computername iisw01 -Credential COMPANY_DOMAIN \ desmonitor
[desiisw01]: PS C: \ Users \ desmonitor \ Documents> exit

Second Wrong test :: removal to a computer in a domain from a computer in a domain using a local administrator user

iis01 \ instalador is a local user for the iis01 machine
Computer: iis01

PS C: \ Users \ myUser> Enter-PSSession -Computername iis01 -Credential iis01 \ instalador Enter-PSSession: connection to the remote server failed with the following error message: WinRM client cannot process the request.

On machine ii01 using a terminal server (Remote Desktop) using COMPANY_DOMAIN \ desmonitor, I open the PS console and run

PS C: \ Users \ desmonitor> winrm quickconfig
WinRM is already configured to receive requests on this computer.
WinRM is already configured for remote management on this computer.
PS C: \ Users \ desmonitor>

Then I try again, but I get the same error:

PS C: \ Users \ myUser> Enter-PSSession -Computername iis01 -Credential iis01 \ instalador Enter-PSSession: connection to the remote server failed with the following error message: WinRM client cannot request the request.

With this command:

PS C: \ Users \ myUser> Installed WSMan: \ localhost \ Client \ TrustedHosts -Value "*" -Force PS C: \ Users \ myUser>

Now I get access:

PS C: \ Users \ myUser> Enter-PSSession -Computername iis01 -Credential iis01 \ instalador [iiw01]: PS C: \ Users \ instalador \ Documents> $ Host

Name : ServerRemoteHost Version : 1.0.0.0 InstanceId : 6905896f-e6c7-4603-82f0-20183f71b1ec UI : System.Management.Automation.Internal.Host.InternalHostUserInterface CurrentCulture : es-ES CurrentUICulture : es-ES PrivateData : IsRunspacePushed : Runspace : 

My company has many computers to connect to iis01.

For each calculation, do you need to run a command to add a list of remote computers to the list of trusted hosts on local computers?

I have a few questions about this ¿

How can I get a list of TrustedHosts (WSMan: \ LocalHost \ Client) on the local computer?
How do I know if the WinRM service is enabled on a computer? How do I know if the WinRM service is running on a computer? How do I know if WinRM is configured to receive a request on a computer?
How to find out if WinRM is configured for remote control on this computer ?.

Answer 1

Q1. How can I get a list of TrustedHosts (WSMan: \ LocalHost \ Client) on the local computer?

 Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts 

Q2 / Q3. How do I know if the WinRM service is enabled on a computer? How do I know if the WinRM service is running on a computer?

 Get-Service -ComputerName server01 -Name winrm | Select Status 

Q4. How do I know if WinRM is configured to receive a request on a computer? Not very sure about this, but I will confirm. One way to find this is to see if the client ports are listed or not. But, as I said, I can confirm this.

 Get-ChildItem WSMan:\localhost\Client\DefaultPorts 

Q5. How to find out if WinRM is configured for remote control on this computer ?.

You should be able to list the listeners.

 Get-ChildItem WSMan:\localhost\Listener 

If you do not see anything here, it means that you are not configured for incoming WSMAN connections.
