Thanks J for your suggestions.
I am using the Trond Hindenes powershell script to configure my windows
remote node and it always returns "ok"
I believe I have basic auth enabled because the script contains these lines
#Check for basic authentication
$basicauthsetting = Get-ChildItem WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth | where {$_.
Name -eq "Basic"}
if (($basicauthsetting.Value) -eq $false)
{
Write-Verbose "Enabling basic auth"
Set-Item -Path "WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth\Basic" -Value $true
}
Else
{
Write-verbose "basic auth already enabled"
}
I will check on the local account issue you raised and let you know if that
works.
Also my remote node is not a server. It is running Windows 7 sp1 and
powershell ver 3.
I'm switching from Fedora to CentOs 7.0. I haven't made much progress
overall but at least I'm becoming very familiar with the Windows system
prep on the control machine. I've done it 4 times now and am going to try
a 5th in a few minutes.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
