WINRM Version incompatibility?

So spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get the Log Parser template working against a windows 2003 server. The target was running WINRM 1.1 and the APM poller running WINRM 2.0 (server 2008)

We did have the poller trying to communicate on port 80 which is the default on 1.1 but no go. We tried several configurations but couldn't get the two to talk. We then upgraded the target to 2.0 and it connected without a problem.

Now this is a workaround however not an easy one to accomplish because I will have to get a change control window to roll out 2.0 to all the 2003 boxes. Has anyone gotten 2.0 to successfully communicate with 1.1?

PowerShell 2.0 is a requirement for the Log Parser to run. This requirement is the same for the APM server as it is for the hosts being monitored using this template. It's not possible to use LogParser script against a host running PowerShell 1.1.

Ok thanks...looking at the documentation again for the template pack it does show that on page 3. I had a printout of page 4 which said the only prerequisite was WINRM so I missed that.

Also confusing is the APM template itself which states

Specifies the TCP port for which this listener is created.
WinRM 1.1 and earlier: The default HTTP port is 80.
WinRM 2.0: The default HTTP port is 5985.

It references WinRM 1.1 so I assumed it could connect.

Can you tell me exactly where you got the following text from? I cannot find it in my templates.

Specifies the TCP port for which this listener is created.
WinRM 1.1 and earlier: The default HTTP port is 80.
WinRM 2.0: The default HTTP port is 5985.

Thanks
