- Go to the Start menu and right-click the cmd.exe and then select Run as Administrator.
- 3. Enter the following in the command prompt:
winrm quickconfig
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"} - 4. 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.
