I am attempting to run & debug a Powershell script (which is tailored to run on a remote Windows PC), on MacOS (Monterey M1) through Visual Studio Code.

On the Mac, I have installed PSWSMan and following this article https://petri.com/how-to-run-code-remotely-in-visual-studio-code I have attempted to initiate the remote session using:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName '192.168.1.185' -Credential xxx

The system throws this error right after the password input:

Enter-PSSession: Connecting to remote server 192.168.1.185 failed with the following error message : MI_RESULT_FAILED For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

which could be due to NTLM incompatibility: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/887

Anyone successfully running this scenario?

To resolve the MI_RESULT_FAILED issue, try using the full UPN for the credential.

Our systems are on a domain (my M1-based Mac is not on the domain). Our corporate internal AD domain is formatted like so: DOMAIN.LOCAL (as opposed to domain.com, or our alternate domain emaildomain.com that we use for email and Azure logins). I am able to successfully remote into a Windows-based computer named MYPC01 using the following:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName MYPC01 -Credential username@domain.local

The screenshot below is of my successful connection to our domain controller from my Mac:

Type exit to exit the session and return to your local PS session in your Mac's terminal.

For reference, below is the output from my Mac's PowerShell installation:

$PSVersionTable

NOTE: You must already have WSMan installed, which may require re-installation after updating PowerShell on macOS.

pwsh -Command 'Install-Module -Name PSWSMan'
sudo pwsh -Command 'Install-WSMan'
