Iis – Microsoft Exchange Management console, Initilization Failed

exchangeiispowershellwindows-server-2008winrm

Upon starting Exchange Management Console I am presented with the error

[###################] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client
sent a request to an HTTP server and got a response saying the requested HTTP URL was not available. This is usually re
turned by a HTTP server that does not support the WS-Management protocol. For more information, see the about_Remote_Tr

   eption
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed

After spending some time googling, most of the problems were resolved by correcting the bindings on port 80. I did this by following these instructions here (Microsoft Support).

I've run out of ideas of how to fix this problem and would appreciate if someone could shed some light or point me in a good direction. Thank you

Are you opening an EMC in the same Exchange server? Or is it in another computer?

If you are trying to run it from a different computer, try opening an admin Powershell session on your exchange CAS server(s) and type this command winrm /quickconfig. This will enable winRM on the server to allow it to receive remote powershell sessions. Hope it works!
