2. Edit the following local computer policy settings:

  • Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Credential Delegation / Allow Delegating Fresh Credentials
  • Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Credential Delegation / Allow Delegating Fresh Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication

There are two methods that you can use to make the following policy changes. You can edit the local group policy, or you can open a command prompt and run a series of WinRM commands. If you edit the local group policy, it can take some time for the changes to take effect. If you run the WinRM commands, the changes take effect immediately.

  • Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Remote Management (WRM) / WinRm Client / Allow CredSSP authentication
  • Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Remote Management (WRM) / WinRm Client / Trusted Hosts

WinRM commands ( open the command prompt – Run as Administrator ):

winrm qc -q

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{CredSSP=”True”}

winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{AllowRemoteShellAccess=”True”}

winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxMemoryPerShellMB=”2048″}

    I got following message when entering WinRM commands,

    WSManFault
    Message = Access is denied.
    Error number: -2147024891 0x80070005

    And here is the System Center log
    DEBUG – Creating session at server: localhost, user specified: False, username:
    ERROR – WinRM is not configured on machine localhost. Exeption: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.
    at WSManAutomation.IWSManSession.Get(Object resourceUri, Int32 flags)
