I am having a problem getting on of my library servers to work. It is a windows 2003 R2 SP2 box. I know WinRM needs to be up and configured prior to installing the VMM Library agent. WinRM installs but when I run the winrm qc command I get the following error:

WSMaqnFault

Message

ProviderFault

WSManFault

Message = Unable to check the status of the firewall.

Error number: -2147023143 0x800706D9

There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.

I do not have a firewall running on this server.

Even when I attempt to configure WinRM manually I get an error.

Anyone have any ideas.

Hello,

enable first your windows firewall. After disable it. And then try again with winRM quickconfig. It works. That's because a Service isn't running.

The system cannot find the file specified.

For us, I believe GPO is getting in the way.  Regardless, I was troubleshooting an Invoke-Command error I was getting.  Posted my findings in a related thread across the ether.

Yes not always true, i even enabled the fw service, reconfigued my profiles in order to "save" some information, disabled again my profiles in firwall and is not working.

i even tried to do the disable-psremoting, and enable-psremoting, and nothing is working always the same error like something is blocking the winrm port, or winrm configuration.

Hi all,

I had the same issue today and finaly soled it.

It was 2012 R2 server en-US with french language pack installed.

Disable the FR lang pack solved the issue!

$nlm = [Activator]::CreateInstance([Type]::GetTypeFromCLSID([Guid]"{DCB00C01-570F-4A9B-8D69-199FDBA5723B}"))
$connections = $nlm.getnetworkconnections()
$connections |foreach {
    if ($_.getnetwork().getcategory() -eq 0)
    {
        $_.getnetwork().setcategory(1)
    }
}

Run this code in powershell ise
