The Trusted Hosts List Answer

In this Lecture I will show you how to add computers to the Trusted Hosts Lists

In PowerShell, the TrustedHosts list is used to specify remote computers that are trusted by the local computer. When you try to establish a remote PowerShell session to a computer that is not in the TrustedHosts list, you will get an error message stating that the remote computer is not recognized as a trusted host, or a WINRM related error.

WSMAN – (WS Management) is the underlying protocol that WinRM uses for remote management in the Windows operating system.

The TrustedHosts setting is used to specify which remote computers are trusted when making WinRM connections. These trusted hosts can be specified as a list of remote computer names or IP addresses.
