I'm trying to connect to a VM hosted in Azure and for some reason the remoting connection never established like you would typically see while on a corporate network.

Things I've checked:

  • Enabled PS Remoting on the VM and validated the server shows it's enabled.
  • Azure VM shows inbound connections are allowed on port 5985.

After a bit of trial and error I got it working.

Troubleshooting:

  • Used Test-NetConnection on port 5985 using the public IP and full domain name to the machine. This failed until completely disabling the firewall on the VM.
  • Ultimately the Windows Firewall had a WinRM rule on the public profile set to Local Subnet only. Changing to Any IP solved the issue. Defining the proper IP ranges would be better longer term.
