[...] To avoid the firewall requirements, a workaround is running the functions from a PowerShell script locally on target computers using a software distribution product like System Center Configuration Manager. Another option is to run the functions over PowerShell remoting. [...]

[...] If you haven’t done this, check with the AD folks and see if you can enable remoting and script execution through a GPO. It makes your life easier. If not, you can perform this on each computer individually, but that defeats the purpose. Here is a great blog post that describes the process. [...]

Maybe something changed from SP1 on 2008R2?
Unfortunatelly when I enable Remote Management by Powershell “Enable-PSSessionConfiguration” or manually by ticking it in GUI, correct descriptor is set.
But when unticked or “Disable-PSSessionConfiguration” used, it always change SDDL to Everyone Denied so enabling listener via GPO is not enough.
Many thanks for any hints.

That seems weird, the default permissions are:
Permission : BUILTIN\Administrators AccessAllowed

I would check to see if any other Group Policy settings are interfering with the WinRM setup.

Hello
I tested enabling “Allow automatic configuration of listeners” via GPO to enable remote management but it is not enough!

From Powershell: Get-PSSessionConfiguration

Name PSVersion StartupScript Permission
—- ——— ————- ———-
microsoft.powershell 2.0 Everyone AccessDenied, BUILTIN\A…
Microsoft.PowerShell32 2.0 Everyone AccessDenied, BUILTIN\A…
microsoft.ServerManager 2.0 Everyone AccessDenied, BUILTIN\A…

As you can see, remote management will be enabled but every access will be denied.
Please, how to make “Set-PSSessionConfiguration” with correct SDDL via GPO without creating powershell startup scripts?
Is there other possibility how to remove “Everyone AccessDenied” via GPO without manually starting “Enable-PSSessionConfiguration”?

Many thanks
ExSport
