I am trying following script to copy a text file from my local machine(Windows 10) to Virtual Machine(VMWare Workstation Player, OS: Windows Server 2016)
$targetComputerName = "192.168.0.103"
$Session = New-PSSession $targetComputerName -Credential 'Administrator'
$DestinationPath = "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads"
$Source = 'D:\Test.txt'
Copy-Item -Path $Source -ToSession $Session -Destination $DestinationPath
$Session | Remove-PSSession
It gives below error:
New-PSSession : [192.168.0.103] Connecting to remote server 192.168.0.103 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. If the
authentication scheme is different from Kerberos, or if the client computer is not joined to a domain, then HTTPS transport must be used or the destination machine must
be added to the TrustedHosts configuration setting. Use winrm.cmd to configure TrustedHosts. Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
You can get more information about that by running the following command: winrm help config. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
