Issue/Introduction

Missing step in process for local group policy to allow probe to log into the power shell on the XenDesktop .

Environment

Any UIM release

Resolution

The following steps must be followed to the letter.

From the XenDesktop probe guide:

7. Enter the following command to enable basic authentication:
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'

8. Enter the following command to allow unencrypted data:
winrm set winrm/config/service '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'

This setting is not required if the probe uses HTTPS to communicate with the DDC.

9. Enter the following command to trust all hosts:
winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="*"}'

or

To trust only specified hosts list the host names, as in the following example:
winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="host1, host2, host3"}'

Then these steps must be followed to add the local policy permissions to allow the "Allow Unencrypted and Trusted Hosts"

Step 1:Launch : Local Group Policy user interface by typing gpedit.msc in the run prompt.

Step 2:Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Remote Management (WinRM) > WinRM Client

Step 3:Enable :Allow unencrypted traffic

Step 4: Enable: Trusted Sites
