Hi guys,
So, the scripting world is new to me but I’m trying to get a handle on it, and hope that you can help me.
I’m working in a mixed environment; our domain contains XP clients and 2008R2 servers. All client computers have PS 2.0 installed.
I want to be able to work with PSRemoting on other client computers. Of course I have Admin privileges and I ran the commands as admin.
My problem is that I can't enable remoting through Group Policy. Our organization is really big and changing GPO will take forever because of IT policies and different approvals.
Right now we have a few jobs we really need to execute and can’t wait till GPO changes are done.
So actually, I’m looking for a way to enable remoting on remote machines in our domain. When I logon interactively to a machine and enable PSReomting, I’m able to work remotly on this machine after that. But I can't find a way to remotely enable PSReomting.
I’ve tried to enable thewinrm service through cmd, and then with PS, like this:
SC\\server start winrm
Then, from PS:
foreach ($i in 'Computer') { Enable-PSRemoting -Force }
Then I ranwinrm quickconfig, and the result was:
WinRM already is set up to receive requests on this machine
WinRM already is set up for remote management on this machine
After performing these steps, I tried remoting and got this error:
"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: access is denied. for more info...."
I went through every step in About_Remote_Troubleshooting but found nothing.
After googling for hours I found nothing.
Also, does anyone know if PS Active Directory module is available for XP? After some searching it looks like XP doesn’t support this module, but just to make sure.
Thank youJ
