Purpose of WinRM

Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Management Protocol, a standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based, firewall-friendly protocol that allows hardware and operating systems, from different vendors, to interoperate.

The WS-Management protocol specification provides a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across an IT infrastructure. WinRM and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), along with the Event Collector are components of the Windows Hardware Management features.

Usage

You can use WinRM scripting objects, the WinRM command-line tool, or the Windows Remote Shell command line tool WinRS to obtain management data from local and remote computers that may have baseboard management controllers (BMCs). If the computer runs a Windows-based operating system version that includes WinRM, the management data is supplied by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

You can also obtain hardware and system data from WS-Management protocol implementations running on operating systems other than Windows in your enterprise. WinRM establishes a session with a remote computer through the SOAP-based WS-Management protocol rather than a connection through DCOM, as WMI does. Data returned to WS-Management protocol are formatted in XML rather than in objects.

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) WMI provider is a standard WMI provider with classes that obtain BMC sensor data from computers with appropriate hardware. IPMI data can be accessed using the WinRM scripting API, the WMI Scripting, or COM APIs.

Basic Configuration:

First, to make WinRM work on the server we need the Windows Firewall to be enabled. Once that is done, open a command prompt and run the following command:

winrm quickconfig

This command performs configuration actions to enable this machine for remote management, which includes:

1. Starts the WinRM service
2. Set the WinRM service type to auto start
3. Create a listener to accept requests on any IP address Enable
4. firewall exception for WS-Management traffic (for http only)
