Windows – WinRM connectivity issue

powershellpowershell-remotingwindowswindows-server-2012winrm

I am trying to have a Enter-PSSession with a Company server with in the company network. I can RDC to the server, ping the server and also get the Windows Services status using Get-Service -ComputerName DBServer. However, WinRM session does not allow me to get into the server.

My PC:

  • Windows 10
  • Powershell 5.0
  • IP: 128.2.60.102

Server:

  • Windows Server 2012
  • PowerShell 4.0
  • IP: 10.1.130.1

On DBServer:

PS C:\Windows\system32> winrm e winrm/config/listerner
WSManFault
    Message
        ProviderFault
            WSManFault

The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the WS-

Firewall ports for WinRM are open for both HTTP and HTTPS.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Note: The following is likely not the root cause of your problem, but it explains the error message you saw on the server, which is cryptic and deserves an explanation (a simple typo confounded me too and led me here).

You have a typo in the resource URI you're passing to winrm e on your server:

winrm e winrm/config/listerner  # note the extra "r"

should be:

winrm e winrm/config/listener

Unfortunately, **a reference to a nonexistent resource URI results in the following cryptic error message:

WSManFault
    Message
        ProviderFault
            WSManFault
                Message = The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The resource URI does not support the Enumerate operation.

Error number:  -2144108495 0x80338031
The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the WS-Addressing Action URI in the request is not compatible with the resource.
