Configuring Windows Remote Management (WinRM):

1. If not already done so, install PowerShell 2.0 and WinRM on the SAM and target servers. Powershell 2.0 can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968930.
2. On the SAM server, open a command prompt as an Administrator. To do this, perform the following step:

• Go to the Start menu and right-click the cmd.exe and then select Run as Administrator.

1. Enter the following in the command prompt:
          winrm quickconfig
           winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"}
2. On the target server, open a command prompt as an Administrator and enter the following:
          winrm quickconfig
           winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="IP_ADDRESS"}

   where IP address is the IP address of your SAM server.
