I've created a new VM in Windows Azure to use to act as a host to learn a bit of Powershell Remoting. After the VM was created I RDP'd onto the box and enabled remoting via the following command:
> Enable-PSRemoting
I confirmed both prompts with 'a' replies and it finished without errors. If I run
> Get-PSSessionConfiguration
I can see that three endpoints (?) have been set up. In the Azure portal I can see that the Powershell port is open - both 5986 is open as a public and private port.
I've added the public IP address of the machine to my hosts file, but when I try the following:
> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName AZURESERVERNAME
I get an error:
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server AZURESERVERNAME failed with the following error message : A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. At
line:1 char:1 + Enter-PSSession -ComputerName AZURESERVERNAME + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (AZURESERVERNAME:String) [Enter-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateRemoteRunspaceFailed
I've also tried setting all hosts as trused as follows:
> cd wsman::localhost\client
> Set-Item .\TrustedHosts *
> Restart-Service WinRM
But that doesn't seemed to have helped either.
Is there anything else I need to do to get this working?
Thanks
