While tedious as a task it was quite fun getting to the end (almost got it).ġ. If the default authentication mechanism or the WinRM listener port number on a remote server has been changed from default settings, Server Manager cannot communicate with the remote server. Server Manager relies on default WinRM listener settings on the remote servers that you want to manage. Winrm invoke stopservice wmicimv2/Win32_Service?name=w32time -r: -usessl I've try to run exclusively on HTTPS and this work with the switch -usessl for WinRS/WinRM/PS and WEF work fine with only a HTTPS Listener. Ex: Of course, to be able to delete it you need to remove the "Allow remote server management through WinRM" Policy. Winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP

You can easily test it if you remove the HTTP Listener, Server Manager won't work. $cert | Export-PfxCertificate -FilePath c:\hyper-v-host.pfx -Password $passwordĮxactly Michael! Just adding the HTTPS Listener wont make it use it. $password = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText –Force We need to protect our certificate with a password, which we need to store as a secure string. $cert = get-childitem cert:\localmachine\my | where Make a note of the thumbprint from your new certificate, as we will need that in our next command.įirst, we can store our certificate in a variable.
#Windows server 2012 remote desktop administrator back doo install#
We will need to install this certificate on our GUI server. Now this certificate is self-signed, so our GUI server won't trust it. New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName ‑CertStoreLocation cert:\localmachine\my Using this post as a guide, we can set up a self-signed certificate and assign it to a WinRM listener. You should receive no output for this, and this means you have no certificates installed on the machine.
