How to Manage WinRM with PowerShell

Windows Remote Management (WinRM) allows you to manage a server from a remote location using PowerShell and WMI-based tools. In this post, I want to show you how to manage WinRM from a PowerShell session. On the server that you want to manage remotely, Run the executable file %windir%\system32\Configure-SMRemoting.exe with the following syntax:

Enable WinRM #

To enable remote management, Run the PowerShell console as administrator, and then type:

Configure-SMRemoting.exe -Enable

Disable WinRM #

To disable remote management, Run the PowerShell console as administrator, and then type:

Configure-SMRemoting.exe -Disable

WinRm Status #

To know the current WinRm Status:

Configure-SMRemoting.exe -Get
