I'm trying to use PowerShell through .Net to connect to and and run some scripts on my local machine. I'm using Visual Studio 2019. I keep getting exceptions when I attempt to open my Runspace.
Consider the following code snippet:
private SecureString ConvertToSecureString(string password)
{
var secure = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in password)
{
secure.AppendChar(c);
}
return secure;
}
private void foo()
{
var credentials = new PSCredential("TestUser", ConvertToSecureString("TestPWD"));
var connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo();
var addr = "192.168.1.123" // "localhost", "."
var connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(false, addr, 5985, "/wsman", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell", credentials, 15000);
var testRunSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
testRunSpace.Open();
}
I've tried using the IPAddress of my machine in addition to "localhost" and "." I get the following exception messages:
- IPAddress -> "Connecting to remote server 192.168.1.121 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request..."
- "localhost", "." -> "... Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."
I've checked in PowerShell and the WinRM service is running on my local machine.
What am I doing wrong here.
Is there some configuration/setting which needs to be completed on my local machine in order for this to work?
Thanks, JohnB
