These are two ways I can think of about checking whether powershell remoting is enabled/disabled on local machine:

1. create a loop back runspace to local machine and try running a cmdlet in this remote runspace. If this cmdlet works, then the remoting is enabled. This way will be time-consuming.

2. check each component of powershell remoting, such as whether winrm is started, whether firewall exception is configured, whether listener is added... This way could be broken by future powershell update.

Is there a decent way to check whether powershell remoting is enabled/disabled on local machine?

 

 

Enable/Disable also sets the permissions.  

I would check the winrm session perms that are returned from Get-PSSessionConfiguration.

If you wanted to be thorough you would add the firewall check and verify that a listener has been enabled, but I'm not sure you need to do this.

What is the reason for saying that it could be broken by a future powershell update?

Just run Enter-PSSession -ComputerName localhost. If it enters the remote session, PS remoting is enabled.
