Hi, today by fluke I found out that from servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 (PowerShell v4) I could not connect remotely to servers running Windows Server 2016/2019 (PowerShell v5.1) - Test-WSMan command fails and Test-NetConnection to port 5985 returns true meaning firewall is not blocking communication. Is this “normal”? PowerShell remoting from machines running Windows Server 2016 to machines running Windows Server 2016/2019 works fine.
We are planning to upgrade all Windows Servers 2012 R2 directly to Windows Server 2019 but for now some servers like System Center Configuration Manager are still on Windows Server 2012 R2 and this problem is showstopper in some extent. If this is related only to PowerShell version I can install WMF 5.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 systems …
The workarounds helped me and were acceptable since all concerned machines were considered trustworthy. Maybe your problem is completely unrelated but, well, it won’t hurt trying out. You can easily test by verifying whether your RDP connections work and see if you get the “Oracle-remediation error”.
Same domain. As I said this is only happening with Windows Server 2012 R2 –> Windows Server 2016/2019 PS remoting. Windows Server 2016/2019 –> Windows Server 2016/2019 PS remoting works fine.
