New-PSSession fails with "server name cannot be resolved" with 64 bit PS Console

PowerShell Help

Hi,
i have the problem that if i run New-PSSession -Computername xxxx the command fails with a 64 bit PS Console:

New-PSSession : [xxxx] Connecting to remote server xxxx failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot processthe request because the server name cannot be resolved. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

I can resolve xxxx with a DNS query.

If i run the command with a 32 bit PS Console it works fine…

Do you have any ideas why this is so?

Thanks

I don’t know of an easy answer for you. You have to work through the name resolution. Start with a 

Test-Connection XXXX
If that is successful try specific ports and work through possible options.

What is Resolve-DNSName giving you in a 64bit PS console?
