KB20160524-1 How to enable WinRM on a Windows Server for Exchange 2013 or 2010 management

Published: May 24, 2016

Applies to: Cayosoft Administrator 3.x or higher

Symptom: When enabling the Exchange On-premise management extension in Cayosoft Administrator an error stating WinRM is not enabled is displayed.

CAUTION: On systems that have both Windows PowerShell 3.0 and the Windows PowerShell 2.0 engine, do not use Windows PowerShell 2.0 to run the Enable-PSRemoting and Disable-PSRemoting commands. These commands might appear to succeed, but the remoting is not configured correctly. Remote commands, and later attempts to enable and disable remoting, are likely to fail.

To enable WinRM, perform the following procedure:

1. Logon to the Exchange Server
2. Open a PowerShell command window
3. Type Enable-PSRemoting
4. Click Yes to All
