Dear Team,

$so = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
$rmSession = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri $Vm -SessionOption $so -CertificateThumbprint XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Error Message,

[X.X.X.X] Connecting to remote server X.X.X.X failed with the
| following error message : WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify
| that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is
| accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM
| service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the

I have uploaded the required certificate under the automation account too, The same code was working from my local machine.

It would be great if any solution is provided here.

Note: This was not a Hybrid Runbook

Answer 1

Azure Automation Account Sandbox is a public-faced service. It's not configurable to work with custom certificates for authorization.

Only for using the certificate for the runbook\script itself.

If you need to authenticate your PS session, it requires to run your PS sessions on hybrid worker servers.
