WINRM Survival Guide

WINRM is introduced in Windows Server 2003 R2. It is very similar to SysInternals “psexec“ tool. The new version WINRM is 2. WINRM is working on http. That is working with PowerShell. We can run windows command (netstat, ipconfig & etc) in a remote system through Invoke-command.  WINRM 1 worked on port 80, but WINRM version 2 works on port 5985. Normal PowerShell cmdlet is using RPC connection, but WINRM is working on hyper text transfer Protocol. By default 5 users & 5 connections for each user can be created, which means 25 total connections, but you can change that configuration. Also WINRM works on cmd prompt & it is not PowerShell dependent but it is working along with PowerShell. WINRM (Windows Remote Management) is a remote management like RDP, LDAP.
