I had posted a question but it hasn't been answered and there has been no activity on it lately so I'm reposting. Sorry if thats the incorrect way of doing things but I have been struggling to get this going all week.
I am trying to run a script that installs a program remotely for a user in my domain. I can run the script fine on my own computer but when I run the script for a different computer in the domain I get the error of
Connecting to remote server (computername) failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic
I have configured winRM and the winRM GPO, I have turned off the firewall and yet I keep getting the same error. I feel that I have exhausted all options so would love some help.
Things I have tried:
- Checked if Firewall was blocking port
- Configured winRM through a GPO on the domain, ipv4 and ipv6 are listening on *
- Ran Enable-PSRemoting -Force and winrm /quickconfig on both computers
- Ran winrm id -r:(mymachine) which works on mine but not on the computer I'm trying to remote to as I get the error:
WSManFault

Description = Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service implements the WS-Management protocol for remote management. WS-Management is a standard web services protocol used for remote software and hardware management. The WinRM service listens on the network for WS-Management requests and processes them. The WinRM Service needs to be configured with a listener using winrm.cmd command line tool or through Group Policy in order for it to listen over the network. The WinRM service provides access to WMI data and enables event collection. Event collection and subscription to events require that the service is running. WinRM messages use HTTP and HTTPS as transports. The WinRM service does not depend on IIS but is preconfigured to share a port with IIS on the same machine. The WinRM service reserves the /wsman URL prefix. To prevent conflicts with IIS, administrators should ensure that any websites hosted on IIS do not use the /wsman URL prefix.

- I can also do things like create a folder on the target computer. But performing an install of a program on the target computer fails.
I can't remember at the moment of every exact little thing I have tried but if you suggest something I can verify that I have tried it.
I have followed many suggestions online which includes Remote PowerShell, WinRM Failures: WinRM cannot complete the operation
but still.. nothing.
