Managing Storage Replica through Windows Admin Center

Question

Hi,

I am right now evaluating Storage Replica. After configuring the partnerships using PowerShell, now I want to manage the Storage Replica from Windows Admin Center.

I have already done the required Kerberos Delegation for all servers being managed from Windows Admin Center. However, while getting into Storage Replica section of related servers and trying to manage the Storage Replica configuration, I am receiving following message:

"Couldn't switch partnership direction. Error: Couldn't enable CredSSP delegation. Error: Connecting to remote server <servername> 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 WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."

Need help to resolve this so that I can manage Storage Replica from Windows Admin Center.

Thanks,
Amit Jogi

Hello,

is it possible that the CredSSP authentication has not been set up correctly. You can try to manage it working with PowerShell:

On the client in administrator shell:

enable-wsmancredssp -role client -delegatecomputer devremvm03 -force

And on the server in administrator shell:

enable-wsmancredssp -role server -force

They both should return output indicating CredSSP "true".
