Hello community! I'm getting this error, while using invoke-command:

the winrm client received an http status code of 504 from the remote ws-management service

WinRM service is running on target. We're using the firewall only for Internet, it's disabled for local web-sites. Most of PC's is connected to Internet via Cisco AnyConnect, which gives IP to PC's itself. Connect between my and target machine is OK, no any packet is lost. Why i'm then getting such error?

invoke-command -computername mypc -scriptblock {test-path c:\windows} and I got this: 

[mypc] Failure to connect to a remote server mypc. Error message: the WinRM client received an HTTP status code of "504" from the remote WS-Management service. Check "about_Remote_Troubleshooting" for details.
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (wsvt-22664:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : -2144108273,PSSessionStateBroken

I'm also receive this msg, when using winrs commands, like winrs -r:mypc cmd.

Don't have the WMF installed correctly where?

I'm going through a Cisco's switch. My PC (mypc) is in domain, same with others PC, on which I had used invoke-command.

invoke-command -scriptblock {test-path c:\windows} returns True statement.

In case of Enter-PsSession MyPC, I'm getting access is denied message, even if I have the highest permissions in domain.

On my (local) PC I'm execute this

PS C:\Users\adm> Test-WsMan


wsmid           : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/
ProductVendor   : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion  : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0

But if I'm perfoming this command on an another compute (mypc in this case), I got this:

Test-WsMan : <f:WSManFault xmlns:f="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsmanfault" Code="2150859023" Machine="mypc.mydomain.com"><f:Message>the WinRM client received an HTTP status code of "504" from the remote WS-Management service. </f:Message></f:WSManFault>

As i mention above, I'm getting 'access is denied' when perfoming enter-pssesion command even when trying localhost as computername argument. Shall I reinstall WMF?
