I am having difficulty getting the PSSession going. There is something about the network discovery that is blocking me, I think.
I have tried the lab twice, now, and both times I had to go to the Advanced Sharing Settings in the Network and Sharing Center and, under the Domain section, I have to “Turn on file and printer sharing” just to get the Test-NetConnection command to work. Even then, the Network discovery is turned off for the domain. It won’t let me turn that on. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or what.

Both times I attempted the lab, I’ve followed along with the lecture notes.

Try the lab again, before configuring anything on the machines test from the domain controller:

nslookup sams01
Test-NetConnection -Port 5985 -ComputerName sams01
Test-WSMan -ComputerName sams01
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName sams01

Okay, so that worked. I know that it was explained that this is enabled by default. Why wouldn’t it work before, after I went through the motions of ensuring it was enabled through group policy?

Hi profile avatar Dusten Maxwell

Can you paste a screenshot? I was not able to find any meaningful information in the error message, just generic error information but got this DSC troubleshooting guide:
