WinRM on a computer that is not part of an AD domain

This guide is an aid to perform a basic configuration of WinRM, but you will need to adjust the configuration for your environment if you require any particular parameter.

• You must ensure that the network you are connecting to is private, in a PowerShell® terminal window:

Get-NetConnectionProfile
Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name "MYWIFINETWORK" -NetworkCategory Private

• Activation of the administrator user and assignment of a password:

net user administrator /active:yes
net user administrator *

• WinRM configuration and allow connection from specific or all hosts:

winrm quickconfig
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value *

• Restart the service:

Restart-Service WinRM
