3. Configure WinRM HTTPS/SSL
You can run
winrm from a client to retrieve information from the server using WinRM HTTPS connection. Use
the following steps to test the WinRM HTTPS/SSL connection from client:
a. To retrieve the server operating system information, enter the following command.
winrm e wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_OperatingSystem -r:https://yourservername -u:username
-p:password -skipCAcheck
b. To retrieve the server WinRM identity information, enter the following command.
winrm id -r:https://yourservername -u:username -p:password -skipCAcheck
c. To enumerate Windows services on the server, enter the following command.
winrm e wmicimv2/Win32_service -r:https://yourservername -u:username -p:password -
skipCAcheck
Note: It is important to use -skipCAcheck switch in the winrm command line testing, as the certificate
is self-generated and not imported on the client. Otherwise, the following error message displays:
WSManFault.
