Access Denied when Enabling PowerShell Remoting

Thursday, February 2, 2012

Quick tip: Are you receiving Access Denied messages when you are attempting to run the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet? I’ve received them on machines connected to a domain, even when I’m running in an elevated PowerShell window. An easy trick is to open a PowerShell window as the built-in administration account on the machine. Not sure why, but for whatever reason, it seems to work!
