Enable PowerShell remoting on new Azure VM - powershell

Question

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

Answer 1

OK, figured this out thanks to the awesome Secrets of Powershell Remoting ebook. Looks like you must add the machine directly to the TrustedHosts via IP address:
Set-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value '11.22.33.44'
Then use that IP address and specify credentials in the Enter-PSSession:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName 11.22.33.44 -Credential 11.22.33.44\username
You should then get a prompt for your password and voila! :)

I've successfully created a SharePoint farm in Azure using the scripts from Automated-Deployment-of-SharePoint-2013-with-Windows-Azure-PowerShell
On that page there are steps that configure PowerShell to work with Azure
Set-ExecutionPolicy ByPass
Enable-PSRemoting
Enable-WSManCredSSP -role client -delegatecomputer "*.cloudapp.net"
$regKey = "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentialsDomain"
Set-ItemProperty $regKey -Name WSMan -Value "WSMAN/*.cloudapp.net"
Get-AzureSubscription -ExtendedDetails
You may also need to do this
Run GPEdit.msc You must also enable delegating of fresh credentials
using group policy editor on your client machine. Computer
Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials
Delegation and then change the state of "Allow Delegating Fresh
Credentials with NTLM-only server authentication" to "Enabled." Its
default state will say, "Not configured."
In the Add Servers sections add the following.
WSMAN/*.cloudapp.net
