    Hi Heemansu Gehlot,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Support Community.

    These group policies actually set registry values, so you can set them up directly in PowerShell using the New-ItemProperty cmdlet.

    New-Item -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service
# Allow basic Authentication

New-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service -Name AllowBasic -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

# Allow Remote Server Management though WinRM 
New-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service -Name AllowAutoConfig -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

# Allow unencrypted traffic
New-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service -Name AllowUnencryptedTraffic -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

New-Item -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service\WinRS

# Allow Remote Shell Access
New-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service\WinRS -Name AllowRemoteShellAccess -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

    I created a file named winrm_services.ps1 to execute the above-shared commands, When we run the script we get the below output for this.

    Below is the File:

    Please let me know if any suggestions.

    Thank you,

    Hi Heemansu Gehlot,

    You can run the script with the relative path ".\winrm_services.ps1" as the error message suggests. The dot "." means the current path you are using which is "C:\Users\admin\Desktop" in your screenshot. PowerShell will generate the full path of the file "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\winrm_services.ps1" automatically.

    Or you can run "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\winrm_services.ps1" directly if you want to specify the full path yourself.
