Can you post the full error message from WinRM? Depending on your setup, you may
also need to add the remote hosts to your TrustedHosts especially if the
computer you are connecting from, and connecting to, aren't in the same AD
domain or you haven't setup PowerShell Remoting and WinRM using a GPO.

Does your full error message look something like this?

The WinRM client cannot process the request. If the authentication scheme 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.


If you need to add the host to your TrustedHosts list you can do so with a
command such as:

Powershell

set-item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts -Concatenate -value 'hostname'

   PSRemoting needs to be enabled on the remote hosts as well as a firewall
   allowing traffic over winrm. Also IP addresses use NtLM for authentication
   and hostnames will use Kerberos for authentication. You may also need to
   define the subnets allowed to communicate over winrm.

   Hello, it can be because the WinRM service isn't iniciated.
   
   If you want to start the service remotely, you can do this:
   
   Open a PS console
   
   Enter:
   
   Powershell
   
   $cred = Get-Credential
   
   
   Enter the server local credentials.
   
   Now, you must start the service WinRM with WMI:
   
   I made a function to do this:
   
   Powershell
   
   function StartWinRM
   {
       Param([string] $Computer,
       [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $Credential)
   
       $service = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer -Credential $Credential -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='WinRM'"
       $service.StartService()
   }
   
   
   Run this function:
   
   Powershell
   
   StartWinRM -Computer <server_you_want> -Credential $cred
   
   
   With this, you now can do a remote session:
   
   Powershell
   
   Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <server_you_want> -Credential $cred
