Hi,
I have standalone WSUS server configured with SSL, all clients connecting with SSL without problems, when on any client computer I open in browser wsus page:
https://wsus.ad.company.com:8531/ClientWebService/client.asmx then I have connection with valid created self-signed certificate.
Now I would like to manage this standalone server using Windows 10 with RSAT, but when I try to connect I get an error:
If this is standalone server, maybe I should configure on it any WinRM settings?

@Tutek
Thanks for posting on Q&A.
Now I would like to manage this standalone server using Windows 10 with RSAT, but when I try to connect I get an error:
Why did you try to connect to the WSUS Server by RSAT WSUS tool in windows 10?
What is the type of the database? WID or SQL Server
Have you try to connect to the WSUS Server by IP address?
It seems there is no update for a couple of days. May we know the current status of the problem? Is there any other assistance we can provide?
Please consider marking the answer to help the others who have the same issue if the issue has been resolved.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Have a good day.
Hi,
because I would manage directly from my Windows PC, and now connect to WSUS server using RDP.
This type od database is WID.
I'm connecting to full server name (with dns suffix) wsus.ad.comp.com
Hello Tutek,
Thanks for your response.
There's a domain group called WSUS Administrators on the WSUS server. Members of this group can administer the Windows Server Update Services role.
Reference picture in my environment:
So users who logged in the windows 10 computer must be the number of the group named WSUS Administrators to manage the WSUS role.
Hope the above will be helpful. Have a nice day.
Regards,
Rita

Hi,
I repeat again, this is not server connected to any domain, this server is standalone server (in workgroup).
Hello Tuteck,
Here is a update which I want to share with you. I have researched for many articles and tested it in my lab environment. The issue which could not connect to the Remote Workgroup WSUS on the Remote Workgroup windows 10 computer is due to the authentication. I have tested that a domain-joined environment did work.
In addition, I found a related link. According to the link, the computer that runs the WSUS Administration Console must be in the same Active Directory domain as the WSUS server, or it must have a trust relationship with the Active Directory domain of the WSUS server. The link is out of date but it's also suitable for WSUS 3.0SP2 and later version.
Thanks for your time.

Map a drive to the server(s) you need to connect to using an account created and given WSUS Admin access. Then connect to the WSUS server with the Admin console.

Are you using a DNS Alias?

I don't know if you can do what you're not part of any domain.
