I want to connect two windows server on different domains using powershell remoting.

Question

I follows step that given in below blog https://activedirectoryfaq.com/2018/09/import-powershell-sessions-from-computers-in-another-domain/ but it did not work for me. By following this blog, on connection it gives ** Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occurred while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer . Verify that the computer exists on the network and that the name provided is spelled correctly. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic **

client server is windows server 2022 machine (powershell version 5.1.20348.1366) remote server is windows server 2016 machine (powershell version 5.1.14393.1480)

Help me with it.

Answer 1

Use a local account.

On the client add the name of the server to trusted hosts.

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value 'TheServerName'  

Then connect like this example.

    $sb = {  
        $admin = ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")  
        "Running on {0}" -f $env:COMPUTERNAME  
        "Your name is {0}" -f  $env:USERNAME   
        "Admin level is {0}" -f  $admin  
    }  
      
    $User = ".\admin"  
    $PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "admin" -AsPlainText -Force  
    $Credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $User, $PWord  
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName TheServerName -ScriptBlock $sb -Credential $Credential
