I was getting this error below:
"Connecting to remote server TESTSERVER01 failed with the following error message : The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and is accepting requests. Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management service running on the destination, most commonly IIS or WinRM."
I've following the hundreds of fixes online for this. Nothing works, ideas?
The fix which worked on all my Windows 2012 servers was....
Enabled Powershell Remoting.
Enabled Credentials Negotiating on both servers.
Set trusted hosts to *.mydomain.
Crucial: GPEDIT.MSC -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Remote Management -> WinRM Service. Key = Allow remote server management through WinRm be set to '*' not empty!

I try to use release pipeline and setup a task "run powershell on target machines"

My VM is on Azure, and I already open PORT 5986\5985 in 'internet' settings.
I found some article talking about "remote management", however, I am not sure how to set this up on my VM.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winrm/portal
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/winrmsecurity?view=powershell-7.2
Maybe I need some setup are needed for the instance which pipelines are running on (agent pools)?
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/with-powershell-on-target-machines-task-cant-able/635225
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Update-1
The suggestion from #wade-zhou-msft seems not working. But thanks!
Updata-2
change the network setting, no more error.
But the situation still the same ...
In addition, my 'copy file to remote machine' task works well.
Update-3
I find articles talks about "how to remotely run powershell command from Linux"
https://adamtheautomator.com/psremoting-linux/
It shows that some setup is needed. Maybe I need to setup the instance running my CD jobs?
The task "run powershell on target machines" will start a Enter-PSSession session from your agent machine to target VM.
As per the error message, on your target VM, please run winrm quickconfig to configure the service, run winrm set winrm/config/client '#{TrustedHosts="*"}' to trust the host.
If you use the HTTPS, then you need to open port 5986 in the firewall and install a self-signed certificate.
If you create a classic virtual machine from the Azure portal,the virtual machine is already set up for WinRM over HTTPS, with the default port 5986 already opened in the firewall and a self-signed certificate installed on the machine.These virtual machines can be accessed with no further configuration required. Please refer to the task perquisite for the detials.
Or you can use self-hosted agent, with http port 5985 for the task.
I had the same problem and I solved the problem by using azure cli.
The build agent and the VM were added in the same vNet.
az vm run-command invoke -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVm --command-id RunShellScript --scripts 'echo $1 $2' --parameters hello world

I am trying to remotely manage a windows server which is Azure AD Domain joined. I have activated winrm on both machines. My user has administrator rights and I am working from an elevated prompt. I have even set the Server as trusted host just in case. No matter what I try I keep getting this error message.
Connecting to remote server xxx failed with the following error message: The WinRM client cannot process the request. If the authentication schme is different from Kerberos, or if the client computer is not joined to a domain, then HTTPS transport must be used or the destination machine must be added to the TrustedHosts configuration setting. Use winrm.cmd to configure TrustedHosts. Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated. You can get more information about that by running the following command: winrm help config. For more information, see the about_remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

I am connected via VPN to the company network, I can also ping the server. I also successfully opened a telnet to the server on the port winrm uses normally.
What am I missing?
I am trying to change settings on WinRM however I keep getting an error.
I have read many articles across the web about it but I cannot get any of the suggested fixes to work
When I try to get the winRM quickconfig, which is the common suggested fix, to work I get this:
PS C:\Windows\system32> winrm qc

The service is running and the firewall rules are all set correctly.
I get the same error regardless of what I'm trying to achieve.

I have tried stopping and restarting the Windows Remote Management service in the local Services.
Also tried changing the settings in the Group Policy on the machine. All to no avail.
Checked the expanded analysis logs in the event viewer, no further clues there, it just shows the error above.
Is there anyway to uninstall and reinstall ? I cannot find any info on that, online to configure. I don't seem to be able to get back to the initial setup like this (example from another machine)
PS P:\> winrm qc
WinRM is not set up to receive requests on this machine.
The following changes must be made:
Start the WinRM service.
Set the WinRM service type to delayed auto start.
Make these changes [y/n]? n
I am current using :
Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Powershell 5.1
TFS 2017 is also installed on the server.
Any ideas ?
You know... I could point you to some links that would help, but that always aggravates me when I'm looking for an answer. Try this from an elevated powershell prompt:
Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private <-- This assumes you're not in a domain
Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck -Force <- Yes, a bit redundant
set-service -ServiceName WinRm -StartupType Automatic
start-service winrm
If you continue to have trouble, add this:
winrm set winrm/config/client '#{TrustedHosts="NameOfYourComputer"}'
I'm currently trying to connect to my Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2012 Datacenter and connect to it via Certification Test Tool 1.2 for Azure. And always getting this error:
Connecting to remote server xyz-vm.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com
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 guess the tool is using PSRemot so I checked that:
"winrm" is running.
"PS Remoting" is enabled in the firewall.
Port 5985 and 5986 are in the network security group in Azure and at the local VM Firewall allowed.
I tested the connection via Test-WSMan and I got a connection:
screenshot. But the connection with the Certification Test Tool still failed.
Even after turning the Firewall of the VM completely of, it didn't work
Thank you for your Help
Can you please run in cmd on the Virtual Machine netsh winhttp show proxy
If this shows port 8080 could you then run netsh winhttp reset proxy
According to #Shengbao Shui - MSFT
For a existing VM, you also check this blog. You need create a self-certificate and enable https.
I'm attempting to setup a remote session in PowerShell to a server but failing to do so and hit a wall in my troubleshooting.
On the server I want to remote to I have done:
* Enable-PSRemoting
* Restarted and winrm quickconfig to confirm
On my client from where I want to connect to servers I'm attempting to add trusted hosts via:
winrm s winrm/config/client '#{TrustedHosts="servername"}'
This fails with: "WSManFault
Message = The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request."
Server is standalone and not in a domain, does not have firewall enabled (I can RDP to it just fine.)
Right now I'm simply trying to establish a 1to1 connection to perform some tests so there are no certificates included either so I was under the impression that the HTTPS listener would not be needed if I use trusted hosts?
"Did you enable WinRM on client as well? – PetSerAl "
This was the issue, the client trying to manage the server was not configured with WinRM.
Works well with winrm quickconfig and then say no to setting up a listener!
