    • set-item -force WSMan:\localhost\Client\AllowUnencrypted $true
    • set-item -force WSMan:\localhost\Service\AllowUnencrypted $true
  • Make sure that you use an Account which is member of the local Administrator Group of the Target-Host (no need to be a Domain Admin!)
  • TCP Port 5985 and 5986 needs to be opened between GreenLight and Target-Host
  • Make sure that the GL host is listed as a TrustedHost on the Destination System
    • Check the current setting:  Get-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
    • Add the GL host:  Set-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value <FQDN_of_GL> -Force
