If I setup the collector and the forwarder fine and then I go on the collector pc to create a subscription. There under Subscription type and source computers I have to choose either Collector initiated or Source computer initiated (which is faint out probably because I have to configure it from the client pcs am I right ?). Also if I click Advanced I can choose an event delivery optimization option. I know that these have different batch timeouts, but what does batch timeout really mean here? and since the Minimize bandwith and Minimize latency use push delivery modes and in the previous option I have selected the subscription type to Collector initiated which is a pull mode does it creates a problem or it does not matter ? Thank you

Also now I am not able to get any events from the client pc and in the event viewer system on the Collector pc this warning is showing... The WinRM service is not listening for WS-Management requests.
