# Certificate Authority Approach - Complete Workflow
## Overview
Instead of using a wildcard certificate, you create a **Certificate Authority (CA)** and use it to sign individual certificates for each PC. This is more secure and proper.
---
## The Complete Picture
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ONE-TIME CA SETUP │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. CREATE CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY (Do Once)
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Run on secure admin computer: │
│ .\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1 │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
├─► Creates: Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx (PRIVATE KEY - KEEP SECURE!)
└─► Creates: Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer (PUBLIC CERT - DISTRIBUTE)
2. SIGN CERTIFICATES FOR ALL 175 PCs (Do Once)
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Run on secure admin computer: │
│ .\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 \ │
│ -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt \ │
│ -CAPfxPath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx" │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
├─► Creates: G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx
├─► Creates: G1JJVH63ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx
├─► Creates: G1JJXH63ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx
└─► Creates: ... (175 individual certificates)
3. INSTALL CA ON YOUR MANAGEMENT COMPUTER (Do Once Per Computer)
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Run on YOUR computer (H2PRFM94): │
│ Import-Certificate \ │
│ -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer" \ │
│ -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└─► YOUR computer now trusts ALL certificates signed by this CA!
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DEPLOY TO EACH SHOPFLOOR PC │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
4. DEPLOY TO EACH PC (Do for Each of 175 PCs)
PC: G9KN7PZ3ESF
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Copy to PC: │
│ G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx │
│ │
│ Import on PC: │
│ Import-PfxCertificate \ │
│ -FilePath "G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com.pfx" \ │
│ -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My \ │
│ -Password $pass │
│ │
│ Configure WinRM: │
│ .\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 \ │
│ -CertificateThumbprint "ABC123..." \ │
│ -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└─► PC has certificate: CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
Signed by: Shopfloor WinRM CA
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CONNECTING FROM YOUR COMPUTER │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
5. CONNECT FROM YOUR COMPUTER (No Special Options Needed!)
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94): │
│ │
│ # No -SessionOption needed! │
│ Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com \ │
│ -UseSSL -Port 5986 │
│ │
│ # Interactive session - just works! │
│ $cred = Get-Credential │
│ Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com\│
│ -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└─► WORKS! No certificate errors!
Why? Because YOUR computer trusts the CA,
and the PC's certificate is signed by that CA.
```
---
## Why This Works
### Without CA (Current Wildcard Approach):
```
Your Computer Remote PC
│ │
├─ Tries to connect ────────────────►│
│ │
│◄─── Presents certificate ───────────┤
│ CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com │
│ Self-signed (untrusted) │
│ │
├─ ❌ ERROR: Untrusted certificate │
│ │
└─ Must use -SessionOption
to skip validation
```
### With CA (New Approach):
```
Your Computer Remote PC
│ │
│ Has CA installed │ Has individual cert
│ Trusts: Shopfloor WinRM CA │ CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
│ │ Signed by: Shopfloor WinRM CA
│ │
├─ Tries to connect ────────────────►│
│ │
│◄─── Presents certificate ───────────┤
│ CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com │
│ Signed by: Shopfloor WinRM CA │
│ │
├─ Checks issuer: Shopfloor WinRM CA │
├─ Do I trust this issuer? │
├─ YES! (CA is in Trusted Root) │
├─ ✓ Certificate trusted │
│ │
└─ Connection succeeds! ◄─────────────┘
No -SessionOption needed!
```
---
## Step-by-Step: What You'll Do
### PHASE 1: Setup (One Time)
#### Step 1: Create the CA (5 minutes)
```powershell
# On your secure admin computer
.\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1
# Prompts for CA password
# Creates:
# Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx (KEEP SECURE!)
# Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer (Install on management PCs)
```
**Files created:**
- `Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx` - CA private key (SECURE THIS!)
- `Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer` - CA public certificate (distribute to management PCs)
---
#### Step 2: Sign All 175 PC Certificates (10 minutes)
```powershell
# On your secure admin computer
$caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourCAPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCertPassword123" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 `
-HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt `
-CAPfxPath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx" `
-CAPassword $caPass `
-CertificatePassword $certPass `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
**Files created:**
- `G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx`
- `G1JJVH63ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx`
- `G1JJXH63ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx`
- ... (175 total, one per PC)
---
#### Step 3: Install CA on Your Computer (2 minutes)
```powershell
# On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94) - Run as Administrator
Import-Certificate `
-FilePath "C:\path\to\Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
```
**Result:** Your computer now trusts ALL certificates signed by this CA.
---
### PHASE 2: Deploy to PCs (Repeat for Each PC)
#### Step 4: Deploy to First PC (Test)
```powershell
# Copy certificate to PC
Copy-Item "G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
# On the PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF), run as Administrator:
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCertPassword123" -AsPlainText -Force
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath "C:\Temp\G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $certPass
# Configure WinRM with this certificate
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 `
-CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
### PHASE 3: Test Connection
#### Step 5: Connect from Your Computer
```powershell
# On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94)
# Test basic connectivity - NO -SessionOption needed!
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# ✓ Works! No certificate errors!
# Get credentials
$cred = Get-Credential
# Interactive session - NO -SessionOption needed!
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# ✓ Connected! No certificate warnings!
# Run remote command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock { hostname }
# Returns: G9KN7PZ3ESF
```
**The key difference:** No more `-SessionOption $sessionOption`! The certificates are properly trusted.
---
## Comparison: Before vs After
### Before (Wildcard Certificate):
```powershell
# Had to skip certificate validation
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
# Every connection needed this:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-SessionOption $sessionOption # ← Required!
```
**Problems:**
- ❌ Certificate validation bypassed (insecure)
- ❌ Same certificate on all 175 PCs
- ❌ If compromised, affects all PCs
- ❌ Certificate CN mismatch errors
---
### After (CA-Signed Individual Certificates):
```powershell
# Clean, simple connection
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# That's it! No -SessionOption needed!
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Proper certificate validation (secure)
- ✅ Each PC has its own certificate
- ✅ If one compromised, only affects one PC
- ✅ Proper hostname in certificate (no CN mismatch)
- ✅ Easy to revoke individual certificates
- ✅ Professional enterprise approach
---
## What Gets Deployed Where
### Your Management Computer (H2PRFM94):
```
Cert:\LocalMachine\Root\
└─ Shopfloor WinRM CA ← CA public certificate ONLY
(No private key)
```
### Each Shopfloor PC:
```
Cert:\LocalMachine\My\
└─ CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com ← Individual certificate
Issued by: Shopfloor WinRM CA
(Has private key for this PC only)
```
### Secure Admin Computer (Where You Create Certs):
```
Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx ← CA PRIVATE KEY (SECURE!)
G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com.pfx ← PC certificates (175 files)
G1JJVH63ESF-logon.ds.ge.com.pfx
... (175 total)
```
---
## Security Advantages
### Wildcard Certificate Approach:
```
One certificate compromised = All 175 PCs compromised
Must revoke and redeploy to ALL PCs
```
### CA Approach:
```
One certificate compromised = Only that PC compromised
Revoke individual certificate
Only redeploy to that one PC
Other 174 PCs unaffected
```
---
## Real-World Example
### Your First Connection:
1. **Install CA on your computer** (one time):
```powershell
Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
```
2. **Deploy certificate to G9KN7PZ3ESF** (one time per PC):
```powershell
# Copy and import certificate on the PC
# Configure WinRM
```
3. **Connect from your computer** (anytime):
```powershell
# Simple, clean, secure
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
4. **Result**:
```
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\>
```
**No certificate errors! It just works!**
---
## Certificate Chain Verification
When you connect, Windows automatically validates:
```
1. PC presents certificate: CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
2. Check issuer: Shopfloor WinRM CA
3. Is "Shopfloor WinRM CA" in Trusted Root?
4. YES! Found in Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
5. ✓ Certificate trusted
6. ✓ Connection allowed
```
---
## Summary: What Changes for You
### Current Workflow (Wildcard):
1. Connect to PC
2. Get certificate error
3. Use `-SessionOption` to bypass validation
4. Warning: Certificate not validated
### New Workflow (CA):
1. Connect to PC
2. Certificate automatically validated
3. Connection succeeds
4. No warnings, fully secure
**It's actually EASIER and MORE SECURE!**
---
## Quick Start Commands
```powershell
# 1. Create CA (one time)
.\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1
# 2. Sign all PC certificates (one time)
.\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt
# 3. Install CA on your computer (one time)
Import-Certificate -FilePath "CA.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
# 4. Deploy to PCs (repeat for each)
# (Copy PFX, import, configure WinRM)
# 5. Connect (anytime) - SIMPLE!
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HOSTNAME.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
---
## Questions?
**Q: Do I need to install anything on each PC besides its own certificate?**
A: No! Each PC only gets its own certificate. The CA certificate is only installed on management computers.
**Q: What if I add more PCs later?**
A: Use `Sign-PCCertificate.ps1` to sign a certificate for the new PC. Any computer that trusts the CA will automatically trust the new certificate.
**Q: Can multiple people manage these PCs?**
A: Yes! Install the CA certificate on each management computer. All will trust the PC certificates.
**Q: What happens when certificates expire (2 years)?**
A: Sign new certificates using the same CA. The CA is valid for 10 years.
**Q: Is this really better than the wildcard certificate?**
A: YES! It's more secure, more professional, and actually easier to use because you don't need `-SessionOption` anymore.
---
**Bottom line:** You'll have cleaner, simpler, more secure connections with NO certificate warnings or bypasses!

.SYNOPSIS
Creates a Certificate Authority (CA) for signing WinRM HTTPS certificates
.DESCRIPTION
This script creates a self-signed Root CA certificate that can be used to sign
individual certificates for each shopfloor PC. Once the CA certificate is trusted
on management computers, all certificates signed by this CA will be automatically
trusted.
This is the proper enterprise approach for WinRM HTTPS deployment.
.PARAMETER CACommonName
Common Name for the Certificate Authority (default: "Shopfloor WinRM CA")
.PARAMETER OutputPath
Directory to save the CA certificate (default: current directory)
.PARAMETER ValidityYears
How many years the CA certificate should be valid (default: 10)
.PARAMETER ExportPassword
Password for exporting the CA certificate with private key
.EXAMPLE
# Create CA with default settings
.\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1
.EXAMPLE
# Create CA with custom name and validity
$caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "MyCAPassword123!" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1 -CACommonName "GE Shopfloor CA" -ValidityYears 15 -ExportPassword $caPass
.NOTES
Author: System Administrator
Date: 2025-10-17
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTES:
1. Store the CA private key (.pfx) securely - it can sign certificates for any PC
2. Only authorized personnel should have access to the CA private key
3. Install the CA certificate (.cer) on all management computers
4. The CA private key should NOT be deployed to shopfloor PCs

Files Created:
--------------
1. $pfxPath
- CA certificate WITH private key
- Protected with password
- KEEP SECURE - Can sign certificates for any PC
- Needed to sign individual PC certificates
2. $cerPath
- CA certificate WITHOUT private key (public only)
- Safe to distribute
- Install on all management computers
- Once installed, all signed certificates will be trusted
Certificate Store Location:
---------------------------
The CA certificate has been installed in:
Cert:\LocalMachine\My\$($caCert.Thumbprint)
================================================================================
NEXT STEPS
================================================================================
1. SECURE THE CA PRIVATE KEY
- Move $pfxPath to secure location
- Store password in password manager
- Only authorized personnel should have access
2. INSTALL CA ON MANAGEMENT COMPUTERS
- Copy $cerPath to management computers
- Import to Trusted Root Certification Authorities:
Import-Certificate -FilePath "$cerPath" ``
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
3. GENERATE PC CERTIFICATES
- Use Sign-PCCertificate.ps1 to create certificates for each PC
- Each PC gets its own certificate with proper hostname
- All certificates signed by this CA will be trusted
4. DEPLOY TO SHOPFLOOR PCS
- Deploy individual PC certificates (NOT the CA certificate)
- Each PC only gets its own certificate
- CA private key NEVER leaves this secure system
================================================================================
SECURITY BEST PRACTICES
================================================================================
DO:
Store CA private key in secure vault
Limit access to CA private key
Install CA public certificate on management computers
Sign individual certificates for each PC
Monitor certificate usage and expiration
DON'T:
Share CA password via email/chat
Copy CA private key to multiple systems
Deploy CA private key to shopfloor PCs
Use same certificate for multiple PCs
Store CA private key in shared network location
================================================================================
CERTIFICATE SIGNING
================================================================================
To create certificates for shopfloor PCs:
# Single PC
.\Sign-PCCertificate.ps1 -Hostname G9KN7PZ3ESF ``
-CAThumbprint $($caCert.Thumbprint) ``
-Domain logon.ds.ge.com
# Multiple PCs from file
.\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt ``
-CAThumbprint $($caCert.Thumbprint) ``
-Domain logon.ds.ge.com
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
If certificates aren't trusted:
1. Verify CA certificate is installed in Trusted Root on management PC:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {`$_.Subject -like "*$CACommonName*"}
2. Verify PC certificate is signed by CA:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {`$_.Issuer -like "*$CACommonName*"}
3. Verify certificate chain:
Test-Certificate -Cert (Get-Item Cert:\LocalMachine\My\THUMBPRINT)

# Getting Started with WinRM HTTPS
This guide will walk you through setting up WinRM HTTPS for your shopfloor PCs step-by-step, from testing on a single device to full deployment across all 175 shopfloor computers.
## Table of Contents
1. [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
2. [Phase 1: Single Device Test](#phase-1-single-device-test)
3. [Phase 2: Small Batch Test](#phase-2-small-batch-test)
4. [Phase 3: Full Deployment](#phase-3-full-deployment)
5. [Daily Operations](#daily-operations)
6. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
---
## Prerequisites
### What You Need
- [ ] Windows computer with PowerShell 5.1 or later
- [ ] Administrator access to target computers
- [ ] Network connectivity to shopfloor PCs
- [ ] Domain credentials with admin rights
- [ ] All files from the `winrm-https` folder
### Prepare Your Environment
1. **Copy the folder to your Windows computer:**
```
Copy the entire winrm-https folder to:
C:\Scripts\winrm-https\
```
2. **Open PowerShell as Administrator:**
- Press Windows + X
- Select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" or "Terminal (Admin)"
3. **Navigate to the folder:**
```powershell
cd C:\Scripts\winrm-https
```
4. **Set execution policy (if needed):**
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
```
---
## Phase 1: Single Device Test
### Step 1.1: Generate Test Certificate
**What this does:** Creates a self-signed wildcard certificate for `*.logon.ds.ge.com` that will work on all shopfloor PCs.
```powershell
# Run the certificate generator
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1
```
**You will be prompted for:**
- Certificate password (enter it twice)
- Install to Trusted Root? (Type `Y` for testing)
**Expected output:**
```
=== Generating Self-Signed Wildcard Certificate ===
Domain: *.logon.ds.ge.com
Validity: 2 years
Creating certificate...
[OK] Certificate created successfully
Certificate Details:
Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
Thumbprint: ABC123...
Valid From: 2025-10-17
Valid To: 2027-10-17
Has Private Key: True
=== Exporting Certificate to PFX ===
Export path: C:\Scripts\winrm-https\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx
[OK] Certificate exported successfully
[SUCCESS] Wildcard certificate generation completed!
```
**Result:** You now have a PFX file (e.g., `wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx`)
---
### Step 1.2: Test on Your Local Computer
**What this does:** Tests the complete WinRM HTTPS setup on your current computer.
```powershell
# Run the automated test
.\Test-WinRM-HTTPS-Setup.ps1
```
**What happens:**
1. Uses the certificate you just generated
2. Installs it on your computer
3. Creates HTTPS listener on port 5986
4. Configures Windows Firewall
5. Tests the connection
6. Shows results
**Expected output:**
```
╔════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ WinRM HTTPS Test Setup Wizard ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
Current computer: YOUR-PC-NAME
Target FQDN: your-pc-name.logon.ds.ge.com
STEP 1: Generate Wildcard Certificate
[OK] Certificate generated: wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx
STEP 2: Configure WinRM HTTPS
[OK] WinRM HTTPS setup completed
STEP 3: Verify WinRM Configuration
[OK] WinRM service is running
[OK] HTTPS listener configured
STEP 4: Test Local HTTPS Connection
[OK] Local HTTPS connection successful
✅ Test setup complete!
```
**If you see errors:**
- Ensure you're running PowerShell as Administrator
- Check Windows Firewall is not blocking port 5986
- See [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below
---
### Step 1.3: Test Remote Connection
**What this does:** Tests connecting to your computer from PowerShell using HTTPS.
```powershell
# Get your computer's FQDN
$hostname = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$fqdn = "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com"
# Test WinRM HTTPS
Test-WSMan -ComputerName $fqdn -UseSSL -Port 5986
# NOTE: See SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md for secure password handling
# Try creating a remote session
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $fqdn -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
# If successful, test running a command
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {
Write-Host "Successfully connected via WinRM HTTPS!"
Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsName, WindowsVersion
}
# Clean up
Remove-PSSession $session
```
**Expected output:**
```
Successfully connected via WinRM HTTPS!
CsName OsName WindowsVersion
------ ------ --------------
YOUR-PC Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631
```
**✅ Success!** If this works, you're ready to move to the next phase.
---
## Phase 2: Small Batch Test
### Step 2.1: Select Test Computers
Choose 3-5 shopfloor PCs for initial testing.
```powershell
# View available shopfloor PCs
Get-Content .\shopfloor-hostnames.txt | Select-Object -First 10
```
**Create a test list:**
```powershell
# Create a small test file
@"
G1JJVH63ESF
G1JJXH63ESF
G1JKYH63ESF
"@ | Out-File -FilePath .\test-hostnames.txt -Encoding ASCII
```
---
### Step 2.2: Deploy Certificate to Test PCs
**Option A: Manual Deployment (Recommended for first test)**
For each test PC:
1. **Copy certificate to the PC:**
```powershell
# Replace HOSTNAME with actual hostname
$hostname = "G1JJVH63ESF"
$targetPath = "\\$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
# Create directory
New-Item -Path $targetPath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Copy files
Copy-Item ".\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-*.pfx" -Destination $targetPath
Copy-Item ".\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" -Destination $targetPath
```
2. **Run setup on the PC:**
```powershell
# Connect to the PC (if WinRM HTTP is available)
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com"
# Or physically/RDP to the PC and run:
cd C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
# SECURE: Let script prompt for password
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# (Will prompt: "Enter certificate password:")
# OR use stored password (see SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md)
```
**Option B: Remote Deployment (If existing access available)**
```powershell
# If you already have WinRM HTTP or admin access
$testPCs = Get-Content .\test-hostnames.txt
# SECURE: Use stored password or let script prompt
# See SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md for details
$certPass = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
$cred = Get-Credential # Domain admin credentials
foreach ($hostname in $testPCs) {
$fqdn = "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com"
Write-Host "Deploying to $fqdn..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
# Copy files via network share
$remotePath = "\\$fqdn\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
New-Item -Path $remotePath -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item ".\wildcard-*.pfx" -Destination $remotePath
Copy-Item ".\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" -Destination $remotePath
# Execute remotely (requires existing WinRM/admin access)
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $fqdn -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
param($CertPath, $CertPass, $Domain)
Set-Location C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath $CertPath `
-CertificatePassword $CertPass -Domain $Domain
} -ArgumentList "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx", $certPass, "logon.ds.ge.com"
}
```
---
### Step 2.3: Test HTTPS Connections
```powershell
# Test connections to your test PCs
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\test-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-TestConnections
```
**Expected output:**
```
=== Remote Asset Collection Script (HTTPS) ===
Target computers (FQDNs): G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com, G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com...
Resolving IP addresses...
Resolving G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [10.134.48.12]
Resolving G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [10.134.48.13]
Testing HTTPS connections only...
Testing G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
Testing G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
Testing G1JKYH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
```
**If you see failures:**
- Check DNS resolution
- Verify certificate is installed on target PC
- Check firewall rules
- See [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
---
### Step 2.4: Test Asset Collection
```powershell
# Run actual asset collection on test PCs
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\test-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
**You will be prompted for credentials** (use domain admin account)
**Expected output:**
```
Validating remote HTTPS connections and script availability...
Validating G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
Validating G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
Starting asset collection on 3 computers...
Max concurrent sessions: 5
Using HTTPS on port: 5986
Processing batch: G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com, G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com...
[OK] G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com - Completed successfully
[OK] G1JJXH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com - Completed successfully
[OK] G1JKYH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com - Completed successfully
=== Collection Summary ===
Total computers: 3
Successful: 3
Failed: 0
Collection completed. Success: 3, Failed: 0
```
**✅ Success!** If this works, you're ready for full deployment.
---
## Phase 3: Full Deployment
### Step 3.1: Plan Deployment
**Deployment strategies:**
**Option A: Rolling Deployment (Recommended)**
- Deploy to 10-20 PCs at a time
- Verify each batch before continuing
- Minimize risk, easier troubleshooting
**Option B: Mass Deployment**
- Deploy to all 175 PCs at once
- Faster but higher risk
- Requires good preparation
**We recommend Option A for first deployment.**
---
### Step 3.2: Create Deployment Batches
```powershell
# Split hostnames into batches of 20
$allHostnames = Get-Content .\shopfloor-hostnames.txt
$batchSize = 20
$batchNumber = 1
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $allHostnames.Count; $i += $batchSize) {
$batch = $allHostnames[$i..([Math]::Min($i + $batchSize - 1, $allHostnames.Count - 1))]
$batchFile = ".\batch-$batchNumber.txt"
$batch | Out-File -FilePath $batchFile -Encoding ASCII
Write-Host "Created $batchFile with $($batch.Count) hosts"
$batchNumber++
}
```
**Result:** Creates files like `batch-1.txt`, `batch-2.txt`, etc.
---
### Step 3.3: Deploy Batch 1
```powershell
# Deploy certificate to first batch
$batch1 = Get-Content .\batch-1.txt
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
foreach ($hostname in $batch1) {
Write-Host "Deploying to $hostname..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
try {
# Copy files
$targetPath = "\\$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
New-Item -Path $targetPath -ItemType Directory -Force -ErrorAction Stop
Copy-Item ".\wildcard-*.pfx" -Destination $targetPath -ErrorAction Stop
Copy-Item ".\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" -Destination $targetPath -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host " [OK] Files copied" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host " [FAIL] $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
---
### Step 3.4: Execute Setup on Batch 1
**Option A: Remote Execution**
```powershell
$cred = Get-Credential # Get credentials once
$batch1 = Get-Content .\batch-1.txt
foreach ($hostname in $batch1) {
$fqdn = "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com"
Write-Host "Setting up WinRM HTTPS on $fqdn..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $fqdn -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
param($CertPath, $CertPass, $Domain)
Set-Location C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath $CertPath `
-CertificatePassword $CertPass -Domain $Domain
} -ArgumentList "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx", $certPass, "logon.ds.ge.com"
Write-Host " [OK] Setup completed" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host " [FAIL] $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
**Option B: Group Policy / SCCM**
- Deploy via your organization's deployment tools
- Use startup script to run Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
---
### Step 3.5: Verify Batch 1
```powershell
# Test connections
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\batch-1.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-TestConnections
# Review results
Write-Host "`nPress any key to continue with next batch or Ctrl+C to stop..."
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
```
---
### Step 3.6: Continue with Remaining Batches
```powershell
# Repeat steps 3.3-3.5 for each batch
$batchFiles = Get-ChildItem .\batch-*.txt | Sort-Object Name
foreach ($batchFile in $batchFiles) {
Write-Host "`n========================================" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Host "Processing $($batchFile.Name)" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Host "========================================" -ForegroundColor Cyan
# Run deployment and verification for this batch
# (Use steps 3.3-3.5)
Write-Host "`nBatch complete. Continue? (Y/N)" -ForegroundColor Yellow
$continue = Read-Host
if ($continue -ne 'Y') { break }
}
```
---
### Step 3.7: Final Verification
```powershell
# Test all 175 shopfloor PCs
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-TestConnections
# Review summary
Write-Host "`n=== Deployment Summary ===" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Host "Check the log file for details:"
Write-Host ".\logs\remote-collection-https.log"
```
---
## Daily Operations
### Running Asset Collection
**Once everything is deployed, daily collection is simple:**
```powershell
# Navigate to folder
cd C:\Scripts\winrm-https
# Run collection (will prompt for credentials)
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
**Or use stored credentials:**
```powershell
# Store credentials (one time)
$cred = Get-Credential
$cred | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-cred.xml"
# Use in collection script
$cred = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-cred.xml"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Automated scheduled task:**
```powershell
# Create scheduled task to run daily
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe" `
-Argument "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\winrm-https\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -HostnameListFile C:\Scripts\winrm-https\shopfloor-hostnames.txt -Domain logon.ds.ge.com"
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 2AM
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Shopfloor Asset Collection" `
-Action $action -Trigger $trigger -User "DOMAIN\ServiceAccount" `
-RunLevel Highest
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Problem: DNS Resolution Fails
```
Resolving hostname.logon.ds.ge.com... [DNS FAILED]
```
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Check DNS
Resolve-DnsName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com"
# If fails, verify DNS server has records for *.logon.ds.ge.com
# Or add to hosts file temporarily:
Add-Content C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts "10.134.48.12 G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
### Problem: Connection Refused
```
Testing hostname.logon.ds.ge.com... [FAIL]
```
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Check if port 5986 is open
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -Port 5986
# If fails:
# 1. Check Windows Firewall on target PC
# 2. Verify WinRM HTTPS listener exists
# 3. Confirm certificate is installed
```
**On target PC:**
```powershell
# Check firewall
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
# Check listener
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Check certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
```
---
### Problem: Certificate Error
```
The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown authority
```
**Solution for Self-Signed Certificates:**
**Option 1: Install Root Certificate on Management Server**
```powershell
# Export the certificate as CER (public key only)
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
Export-Certificate -Cert $cert -FilePath ".\wildcard-root.cer"
# Import to Trusted Root on management server
Import-Certificate -FilePath ".\wildcard-root.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
```
**Option 2: Skip Certificate Check (Testing Only)**
```powershell
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-SkipCertificateCheck
```
---
### Problem: Access Denied
```
[FAIL] hostname.logon.ds.ge.com - Access is denied
```
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Verify credentials have admin rights on target PC
# Test with manual connection:
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -Credential $cred -UseSSL
# If successful, credentials are correct
# If fails, check:
# 1. User is member of local Administrators group
# 2. UAC is not blocking remote admin
# 3. Correct domain/username format (DOMAIN\username)
```

### Problem: Script Not Found
```
[SCRIPT NOT FOUND]
Script not found on hostname at C:\Scripts\Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1
```
**Solution:**
```powershell
# The asset collection script must exist on target PCs
# Deploy Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 to each PC first
# Or specify different path:
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-ScriptPath "D:\Scripts\Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1"
```
---
### Problem: Certificate Expired
```powershell
# Check certificate expiration
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
$cert.NotAfter
# If expired, generate new certificate and redeploy
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1 -ValidityYears 2
```
---
### Getting More Help
1. **Check logs:**
```powershell
Get-Content .\logs\remote-collection-https.log -Tail 50
```
2. **Read detailed documentation:**
```
WINRM_HTTPS_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md
```
3. **Get script help:**
```powershell
Get-Help .\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -Full

.SYNOPSIS
Alternative wildcard certificate generator that bypasses smart card issues.
.DESCRIPTION
Creates a self-signed wildcard certificate for *.logon.ds.ge.com using
alternative methods that work around smart card reader or read-only device errors.
This script uses certreq.exe and OpenSSL-style certificate creation to avoid
the smart card device error that can occur with New-SelfSignedCertificate.
.PARAMETER Domain
The domain for the wildcard certificate (default: logon.ds.ge.com).
.PARAMETER ExportPath
Path where the PFX file will be exported (default: current directory).
.PARAMETER Password
Password for the PFX file. If not provided, will prompt securely.
.PARAMETER ValidityYears
Certificate validity in years (default: 2).
.PARAMETER Method
Certificate generation method: 'CertReq' or 'Fallback' (default: CertReq).
.EXAMPLE
.\Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1
.EXAMPLE
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "MyPassword123!" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1 -Password $pass -Method CertReq

.SYNOPSIS
Remotely executes asset collection script on shopfloor PCs using WinRM over HTTPS.
.DESCRIPTION
This script uses WinRM HTTPS to securely execute the Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 script
on multiple shopfloor PCs. It handles:
1. Secure HTTPS connections using wildcard certificates
2. Automatic FQDN resolution from hostnames
3. Credential management for remote connections
4. Parallel execution across multiple PCs
5. Error handling and logging for remote operations
6. Collection of results from each remote PC
.PARAMETER HostnameList
Array of computer hostnames (without domain suffix).
.PARAMETER HostnameListFile
Path to a text file containing hostnames (one per line, without domain suffix).
.PARAMETER Domain
Domain suffix for FQDNs (e.g., "logon.ds.ge.com").
Will construct FQDNs as: hostname.domain
.PARAMETER Credential
PSCredential object for authenticating to remote computers.
If not provided, will prompt for credentials.
.PARAMETER MaxConcurrent
Maximum number of concurrent remote sessions (default: 5).
.PARAMETER Port
HTTPS port for WinRM (default: 5986).
.PARAMETER ProxyURL
URL for the warranty proxy server (passed to remote script).
.PARAMETER DashboardURL
URL for the dashboard API (passed to remote script).
.PARAMETER SkipWarranty
Skip warranty lookups on remote PCs (passed to remote script).
.PARAMETER LogPath
Path for log files (default: .\logs\remote-collection-https.log).
.PARAMETER TestConnections
Test remote HTTPS connections without running the full collection.
.PARAMETER ScriptPath
Path to the Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 script on remote computers.
Default: C:\Scripts\Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1
.PARAMETER SkipCertificateCheck
Skip SSL certificate validation (not recommended for production).
.EXAMPLE
# Collect from specific hostnames
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -HostnameList @("PC001", "PC002") -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Collect from hostnames in file
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Test HTTPS connections only
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -HostnameList @("PC001") -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" -TestConnections
.EXAMPLE
# Use stored credentials
$cred = Get-Credential
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" -Credential $cred
.NOTES
Author: System Administrator
Date: 2025-10-17
Version: 1.0
Prerequisites:
1. WinRM HTTPS must be configured on target computers (use Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1)
2. Wildcard certificate installed on target computers
3. PowerShell 5.1 or later
4. Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 must be present on target computers
5. Credentials with admin rights on target computers
6. Network connectivity to target computers on port 5986
Advantages over HTTP WinRM:
- Encrypted traffic (credentials and data)
- No TrustedHosts configuration required
- Better security posture for production environments

# Network Share Deployment Guide
This guide explains how to deploy WinRM HTTPS to shopfloor PCs using a network share.
## Overview
Instead of manually copying files to each PC, you can:
1. Place all files on a network share
2. Access the share from each PC
3. Run a batch file to install
This is faster and ensures all PCs get the same configuration.
## Setup Network Share
### Step 1: Create Network Share
**On your file server or management computer:**
```powershell
# Create deployment folder
$deployPath = "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS"
New-Item -Path $deployPath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Copy all required files to deployment folder
Copy-Item "C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-https\*" -Destination $deployPath -Recurse
# Share the folder
New-SmbShare -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -Path $deployPath -FullAccess "Everyone"
```
**Or manually:**
1. Create folder: `C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS`
2. Copy all files from `winrm-https` folder
3. Right-click folder → Properties → Sharing → Advanced Sharing
4. Check "Share this folder"
5. Share name: `WinRM-HTTPS`
6. Permissions: Give "Everyone" Read access (or specific security group)
### Step 2: Verify Share Access
**From another computer:**
```powershell
# Test access (replace SERVER with your server name)
Test-Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
# List files
Get-ChildItem "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
```
Expected files:
-`Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
-`Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1`
-`wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx`
- ✅ Other PS1 scripts
---
## Required Files for Deployment
### Minimal Deployment Package
For basic deployment, you need:
```
\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\
├── Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (NEW - Main deployment script)
├── Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 (WinRM HTTPS setup)
├── wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx (Certificate - REQUIRED)
└── README.txt (Optional - Instructions)
```
### Complete Package (Recommended)
Include everything for troubleshooting:
```
\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\
├── Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (Deployment batch file)
├── Test-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (Test batch file)
├── Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 (WinRM setup script)
├── Test-WinRM-HTTPS-Setup.ps1 (Test script)
├── Generate-WildcardCert.ps1 (Certificate generator - optional)
├── Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1 (Alternative generator)
├── wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx (Certificate - REQUIRED!)
├── README.md (Documentation)
├── GETTING_STARTED.md (User guide)
├── NETWORK_SHARE_DEPLOYMENT.md (This file)
└── TROUBLESHOOTING_CERTIFICATE_GENERATION.md
```
---
## Deployment Methods
### Method 1: User Runs from Network Share (Simplest)
**On each shopfloor PC:**
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Navigate to: `\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS`
3. Right-click `Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
4. Select "Run as Administrator"
5. Enter certificate password when prompted
6. Wait for completion
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Simple - no copying needed
- ✅ Always uses latest files
- ✅ No local disk space used
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires network connectivity during install
- ⚠️ Slower if network is congested
---
### Method 2: Copy to Local Then Run (Recommended)
**On each shopfloor PC:**
```powershell
# Copy files locally first
New-Item -Path "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup" -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\*" -Destination "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\" -Recurse
# Run locally
cd C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
.\Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
```
**Or using batch file:**
```batch
@echo off
echo Copying deployment files...
xcopy "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\*" "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\" /E /Y
cd /d C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Faster execution
- ✅ Works if network connection lost
- ✅ Can verify files before running
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Uses local disk space
- ⚠️ Extra copy step
---
### Method 3: Remote Execution (Advanced)
**From management computer, deploy to multiple PCs:**
```powershell
# List of target PCs
$targetPCs = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" | Select-Object -First 5
# Your credentials
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials"
# Deploy to each PC
foreach ($hostname in $targetPCs) {
Write-Host "Deploying to $hostname..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
# Copy files to remote PC
$remotePath = "\\$hostname\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
New-Item -Path $remotePath -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS\*" -Destination $remotePath -Recurse
# Execute remotely
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $hostname -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
Set-Location "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
# Run PowerShell script directly
$certPath = "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -AsPlainText -Force
& "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" `
-CertificatePath $certPath `
-CertificatePassword $certPass `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
}
Write-Host "[OK] $hostname - Deployment complete" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host "[FAIL] $hostname - $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Deploy to many PCs from one location
- ✅ No physical access needed
- ✅ Can run overnight/batch
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires existing remote access (WinRM or admin shares)
- ⚠️ More complex
- ⚠️ Password visible in script (use secure credential management)
---
### Method 4: Group Policy Startup Script
**For domain-joined computers:**
1. **Copy files to NETLOGON share:**
```
\\DOMAIN\NETLOGON\Scripts\WinRM-HTTPS\
```
2. **Create GPO:**
- Open Group Policy Management
- Create new GPO: "Deploy WinRM HTTPS"
- Edit GPO
3. **Add Startup Script:**
- Computer Configuration → Policies → Windows Settings → Scripts
- Startup → Add
- Script: `\\DOMAIN\NETLOGON\Scripts\WinRM-HTTPS\Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
4. **Link GPO to OU:**
- Link to Shopfloor Computers OU
- PCs will run script on next reboot
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Automated deployment
- ✅ Centrally managed
- ✅ Runs with SYSTEM privileges
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires domain environment
- ⚠️ Requires restart
- ⚠️ Password handling more complex
---
## Security Considerations
### Certificate Password
**Problem:** The batch file and scripts need the certificate password.
**Solutions:**
**Option 1: Interactive Prompt (Recommended for Manual)**
```batch
REM Batch file prompts user
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
REM User types password when prompted
```
**Option 2: Encrypted File (Recommended for Automation)**
```powershell
# One-time setup: Store password encrypted
$certPass = Read-Host "Enter cert password" -AsSecureString
$certPass | Export-Clixml -Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\cert-password.xml"
# Modify Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat to use:
# -CertificatePasswordFile ".\cert-password.xml"
```
**Option 3: Environment Variable (Less Secure)**
```batch
REM Set on each PC or via GPO
setx WINRM_CERT_PASS "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" /M
```
**⚠️ Never:**
- Hardcode password in batch file on network share (readable by everyone)
- Email password in plaintext
- Store password in unencrypted text file
### Share Permissions
**Recommended permissions:**
- **Read:** Authenticated Users or Shopfloor Computers group
- **Change/Full Control:** IT Admins only
```powershell
# Set proper permissions
Grant-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -AccountName "DOMAIN\Domain Computers" -AccessRight Read -Force
Grant-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -AccountName "DOMAIN\IT Admins" -AccessRight Full -Force
```
### Certificate Protection
The certificate PFX file contains the private key. Protect it:
1. **Use share permissions** to restrict access
2. **Use certificate password** (you did ✅)
3. **Monitor access** to the share
4. **Delete from share** after deployment complete
---
## Deployment Workflow
### Recommended Workflow
**Phase 1: Prepare (One Time)**
```
1. Create network share: \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS
2. Copy all deployment files
3. Test from one PC
4. Document password securely
```
**Phase 2: Test Deployment (3-5 PCs)**
```
For each test PC:
1. Navigate to \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS
2. Right-click Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat → Run as Administrator
3. Enter password when prompted
4. Verify success
5. Test connection from management server
```
**Phase 3: Full Deployment (All 175 PCs)**
```
Option A: Manual
- Visit each PC or send instructions to users
- Run Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
Option B: Remote
- Use remote execution script
- Deploy in batches of 20
Option C: Automated
- Use GPO startup script
- Schedule during maintenance window
```
**Phase 4: Verification**
```
1. Run connection test:
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -TestConnections
2. Check logs for failures
3. Remediate failed PCs
```
**Phase 5: Cleanup**
```
1. Remove certificate from network share
2. Store password in secure vault
3. Document deployed PCs
4. Update asset inventory
```
---
## Example: Complete Deployment Session
### Step 1: Setup Share
```powershell
# On management server
$deployPath = "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS"
New-Item -Path $deployPath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Copy files
Copy-Item "C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-https\*" -Destination $deployPath
# Share
New-SmbShare -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -Path $deployPath -ReadAccess "Everyone"
Write-Host "Share created: \\$env:COMPUTERNAME\WinRM-HTTPS"
```
### Step 2: Test on One PC
**On test PC (G1JJVH63ESF):**
1. Open Explorer: `\\MANAGEMENT-SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS`
2. Right-click `Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat` → Run as Administrator
3. Enter password: `XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5`
4. Wait for completion
### Step 3: Verify
**From management server:**
```powershell
# Test connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986
# If successful, create session
$cred = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com" `
-UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred
# Test command
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { $env:COMPUTERNAME }
# Cleanup
Remove-PSSession $session
```
### Step 4: Deploy to Next Batch
```powershell
# Deploy to next 5 PCs
$nextBatch = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" | Select-Object -Skip 1 -First 5
foreach ($hostname in $nextBatch) {
Write-Host "`nDeploying to $hostname..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
# Instructions for manual deployment
Write-Host "1. RDP/physically access: $hostname" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "2. Open: \\MANAGEMENT-SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "3. Run: Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (as Administrator)" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "4. Password: XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -ForegroundColor Yellow
$continue = Read-Host "`nPress Enter when complete (or S to skip)"
if ($continue -eq 'S') { continue }
# Test after deployment
try {
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host "[OK] $hostname - WinRM HTTPS working" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host "[FAIL] $hostname - Could not connect" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
---
## Troubleshooting Network Share Deployment
### Problem: "Cannot access network share"
**Check:**
```powershell
# Test connectivity
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName SERVER -Port 445
# Test share access
Test-Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
# List shares
Get-SmbShare -CimSession SERVER
# Check permissions
Get-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS"
```
**Solution:**
- Verify share exists
- Check firewall (port 445)
- Verify user has Read access
- Try with UNC path: `\\SERVER.domain.com\WinRM-HTTPS`
---
### Problem: "Access Denied" running batch file
**Solution:**
- Right-click → Run as Administrator
- User must be local admin on PC
- Check UAC settings
---
### Problem: Certificate password prompt fails
**Solution:**
- Modify batch file to read from file
- Use encrypted credential file
- Or hardcode temporarily for testing (remove after)

## Technical Implementation Details
### Certificate Setup
```powershell
# Certificate Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
# Thumbprint: C1412765B2839E9081FCEA77BB1E6D8840203509 (example)
# Store Location: Cert:\LocalMachine\My
# Key Usage: Digital Signature, Key Encipherment
# Enhanced Key Usage: Server Authentication
```
### WinRM Listener Creation
Fixed implementation using `cmd.exe` to avoid PowerShell quoting issues:
```powershell
$winrmArgs = "create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS @{Hostname=`"$Hostname`";CertificateThumbprint=`"$thumbprint`";Port=`"$Port`"}"
$result = cmd.exe /c "winrm $winrmArgs" 2>&1
```
### Logging Implementation
Dual output to console and log file:
```powershell
function Write-ColorOutput {
param([string]$Message, [string]$Color = "White")
Write-Host $Message -ForegroundColor $Color
if ($script:LogFile) {
Add-Content -Path $script:LogFile -Value $Message -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
}
```
### Batch File Execution
```batch
PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ^
"$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString '%CERT_PASSWORD%' -AsPlainText -Force; & '%SCRIPT_DIR%Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1' -CertificatePath '%SCRIPT_DIR%wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx' -CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain 'logon.ds.ge.com' -LogFile '%LOG_FILE%'"
```

## Issues Resolved
### 1. Smart Card Device Error
**Problem**: Certificate generation failed with "smart card device is read-only"
**Solution**: Created alternative script using `certreq.exe` with fallback methods
**Status**: ✅ Resolved - Certificate generated successfully
### 2. LogFile Parameter Not Found
**Problem**: Batch file tried to pass `-LogFile` parameter that didn't exist
**Solution**: Added `-LogFile` parameter to `Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1` param block
**Status**: ✅ Resolved - Logging now works correctly
### 3. WinRM HTTPS Listener Creation Failed (First Issue)
**Problem**: Listener creation failed due to PowerShell string escaping issues
**Solution**: Changed from `Invoke-Expression` to `cmd.exe /c` execution
**Status**: ✅ Resolved - Command execution fixed
### 4. Certificate CN Mismatch Error (Critical Fix)
**Problem**: Listener creation failed with error "The certificate CN and the hostname that were provided do not match"
**Error**: `-2144108311 (0x803380E9)`
**Root Cause**: WinRM listener hostname parameter must EXACTLY match certificate CN
- Certificate CN: `*.logon.ds.ge.com` (wildcard)
- Original approach: Used specific FQDN `g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com`
- Result: Mismatch error
**Solution**: Extract certificate CN and use wildcard format for listener hostname
```powershell
# Extract CN from certificate
if ($certSubject -match 'CN=([^,]+)') {
$certCN = $matches[1] # "*.logon.ds.ge.com"
}
# Use wildcard CN as listener hostname
$listenerHostname = $certCN # "*.logon.ds.ge.com"
winrm create ... @{Hostname="*.logon.ds.ge.com";...}
```
**How It Works**:
- Listener configured with wildcard hostname: `*.logon.ds.ge.com`
- Clients connect using specific FQDN: `g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com`
- WinRM matches specific hostname against wildcard pattern
- Certificate validation succeeds for all subdomains
**Status**: ✅ Resolved - Wildcard matching now works correctly
**Documentation**: See `WILDCARD-CERT-FIX.txt` for detailed explanation
### 5. Plaintext Password in Examples
**Problem**: Security concern with plaintext passwords in documentation
**Solution**: Created `SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md` and updated all examples
**Status**: ✅ Resolved - All examples use secure methods

# Secure Credential Management for WinRM HTTPS
This guide covers secure methods for handling passwords and credentials in PowerShell, avoiding plaintext passwords in scripts and command history.
## ⚠️ Never Do This
```powershell
# BAD - Password visible in script and command history
$password = "MyPassword123!"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "MyPassword123!" -AsPlainText -Force
```
**Problems:**
- Password stored in plaintext in script files
- Visible in PowerShell command history
- Can be read by anyone with file access
- Logged in transcripts and logs
---
## ✅ Secure Methods
### Method 1: Interactive Prompt (Most Secure for Manual Use)
**For certificate password:**
```powershell
# PowerShell will prompt securely (characters are hidden)
$certPass = Read-Host "Enter certificate password" -AsSecureString
# Confirm password
$certPassConfirm = Read-Host "Confirm certificate password" -AsSecureString
# Verify they match (optional but recommended)
$pwd1 = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($certPass)
)
$pwd2 = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($certPassConfirm)
)
if ($pwd1 -ne $pwd2) {
Write-Error "Passwords do not match!"
exit 1
}
# Use the secure password
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
**For domain credentials:**
```powershell
# Get-Credential shows a secure dialog
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials"
# Use the credentials
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
---
### Method 2: Encrypted File Storage (For Automation)
**Store credentials securely:**
```powershell
# One-time setup: Save encrypted credentials
# This creates an encrypted file that only YOUR USER ACCOUNT on THIS COMPUTER can decrypt
# For domain credentials
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials"
$cred | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml"
# For certificate password
$certPass = Read-Host "Enter certificate password" -AsSecureString
$certPass | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
```
**Use stored credentials:**
```powershell
# Import encrypted credentials
$cred = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml"
$certPass = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
# Use in scripts
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Important notes:**
- ✅ Encrypted files can ONLY be decrypted by the same user on the same computer
- ✅ Safe to store in version control (but not recommended)
- ⚠️ Won't work if script runs as different user (e.g., scheduled task with service account)
- ⚠️ Won't work on different computer
---
### Method 3: Windows Credential Manager (Best for Scheduled Tasks)
**Store credentials in Windows Credential Manager:**
```powershell
# Install CredentialManager module (one time)
Install-Module -Name CredentialManager -Force -Scope CurrentUser
# Store credentials
New-StoredCredential -Target "ShopfloorAdmin" `
-Username "DOMAIN\serviceaccount" `
-Password "password" `
-Type Generic `
-Persist LocalMachine
```
**Retrieve and use:**
```powershell
# Import module
Import-Module CredentialManager
# Get stored credential
$cred = Get-StoredCredential -Target "ShopfloorAdmin"
# Use in script
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Works with scheduled tasks
- ✅ Can be used by service accounts
- ✅ Centralized management
- ✅ Encrypted by Windows
---
### Method 4: Environment Variables (For Automation Contexts)
**Set environment variable (for current session):**
```powershell
# Not recommended for passwords, but okay for non-sensitive config
$env:WINRM_DOMAIN = "logon.ds.ge.com"
$env:WINRM_CERT_PATH = "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx"
# Use in scripts
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 `
-CertificatePath $env:WINRM_CERT_PATH `
-Domain $env:WINRM_DOMAIN
```
**⚠️ Do NOT use for passwords:**
```powershell
# BAD - Environment variables are not secure for passwords
$env:CERT_PASSWORD = "MyPassword" # DON'T DO THIS
```
---
### Method 5: Azure Key Vault (Enterprise)
**For production environments with Azure:**
```powershell
# Install Az modules
Install-Module -Name Az.KeyVault -Force
# Connect to Azure
Connect-AzAccount
# Store secret
$secretPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "YourKeyVault" `
-Name "ShopfloorCertPassword" `
-SecretValue $secretPassword
# Retrieve secret
$secret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "YourKeyVault" `
-Name "ShopfloorCertPassword" -AsPlainText
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString $secret -AsPlainText -Force
# Use in script
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
## 🔐 Recommended Approaches by Scenario
### Scenario 1: Manual Testing (You Running Scripts)
**Use: Interactive Prompts**
```powershell
# Let scripts prompt you
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1
# (Will prompt for password)
$cred = Get-Credential
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Why:** Simple, secure, no storage needed
---
### Scenario 2: Scheduled Task (Same User)
**Use: Encrypted File Storage**
```powershell
# One-time setup (run as the user who will run scheduled task)
$cred = Get-Credential
$cred | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-cred.xml"
# In scheduled task script
$cred = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-cred.xml"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile "C:\Scripts\winrm-https\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Why:** Secure, works automatically, tied to specific user
---
### Scenario 3: Scheduled Task (Service Account)
**Use: Windows Credential Manager**
```powershell
# Setup (run as service account or with appropriate permissions)
Install-Module CredentialManager -Force
New-StoredCredential -Target "ShopfloorAdmin" `
-Username "DOMAIN\svc-shopfloor" `
-Password "ServiceAccountPassword" `
-Type Generic `
-Persist LocalMachine
# In scheduled task script
Import-Module CredentialManager
$cred = Get-StoredCredential -Target "ShopfloorAdmin"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile "C:\Scripts\winrm-https\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```
**Why:** Works across users, secure, manageable
---
### Scenario 4: Enterprise Production
**Use: Azure Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault**
```powershell
# Retrieve from Key Vault
$certPass = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "ProdVault" `
-Name "WinRMCertPassword" -AsPlainText |
ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "ProdVault" `
-Name "ShopfloorAdminCred" -AsPlainText |
ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
# Use in deployment
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
**Why:** Centralized, audited, compliant, scalable
---
## 📝 Updated Script Examples
### Generate Certificate (Secure)
```powershell
# Interactive (recommended for manual use)
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1
# Will prompt: "Enter password for PFX file:"
# With pre-stored password (for automation)
$certPass = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1 -Password $certPass
```
---
### Setup WinRM HTTPS (Secure)
```powershell
# Interactive (recommended for testing)
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# Will prompt: "Enter certificate password:"
# With stored password (for automation)
$certPass = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# With Credential Manager (for scheduled tasks)
Import-Module CredentialManager
$certPassPlain = (Get-StoredCredential -Target "CertPassword").Password
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString $certPassPlain -AsPlainText -Force
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
### Remote Collection (Secure)
```powershell
# Interactive (recommended for manual use)
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# Will prompt: "Enter credentials for remote computer access:"
# With stored credentials (for automation)
$cred = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
# With Credential Manager (for scheduled tasks)
Import-Module CredentialManager
$cred = Get-StoredCredential -Target "ShopfloorAdmin"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```

## 🛡️ Security Best Practices
### Do's ✅
1. **Always use SecureString for passwords**
```powershell
$password = Read-Host "Password" -AsSecureString
```
2. **Use Get-Credential for domain accounts**
```powershell
$cred = Get-Credential
```
3. **Store credentials in encrypted files or credential manager**
```powershell
$cred | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cred.xml"
```
4. **Set proper file permissions on credential files**
```powershell
# Only allow current user access
$acl = Get-Acl "C:\Secure\cred.xml"
$acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($true, $false)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(
$env:USERNAME, "FullControl", "Allow"
)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl "C:\Secure\cred.xml" $acl
```
5. **Clear sensitive variables after use**
```powershell
$certPass = $null
$cred = $null
[System.GC]::Collect()
```
### Don'ts ❌
1. **Never hardcode passwords**
```powershell
# BAD
$password = "MyPassword123!"
```
2. **Never pass passwords as plaintext parameters**
```powershell
# BAD
.\Script.ps1 -Password "MyPassword"
```
3. **Never store passwords in environment variables**
```powershell
# BAD
$env:PASSWORD = "MyPassword"
```
4. **Never commit credentials to version control**
```powershell
# BAD - Adding cred.xml to git
```
5. **Never log passwords**
```powershell
# BAD
Write-Host "Password: $password"
Add-Content "log.txt" "Password: $password"
```
---
## 🔧 Setting Up Secure Credential Storage
### Step 1: Create Secure Directory
```powershell
# Create directory for secure files
$securePath = "C:\Secure"
New-Item -Path $securePath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Set permissions (only current user)
$acl = Get-Acl $securePath
$acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($true, $false)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(
$env:USERNAME, "FullControl", "Allow"
)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl $securePath $acl
Write-Host "Secure directory created: $securePath"
```
---
### Step 2: Store Certificate Password
```powershell
# Prompt for certificate password
Write-Host "Setting up certificate password storage..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
$certPass = Read-Host "Enter certificate password" -AsSecureString
$certPassConfirm = Read-Host "Confirm certificate password" -AsSecureString
# Verify match
$pwd1 = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($certPass)
)
$pwd2 = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($certPassConfirm)
)
if ($pwd1 -ne $pwd2) {
Write-Error "Passwords do not match!"
exit 1
}
# Save encrypted
$certPass | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
Write-Host "Certificate password saved securely to C:\Secure\cert-password.xml" -ForegroundColor Green
```
---
### Step 3: Store Domain Credentials
```powershell
# Prompt for domain credentials
Write-Host "Setting up domain admin credentials..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials for shopfloor PCs"
# Save encrypted
$cred | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml"
Write-Host "Domain credentials saved securely to C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml" -ForegroundColor Green
```
---
### Step 4: Create Helper Script
```powershell
# Create script to load credentials
@'
# Load-SecureCredentials.ps1
# Helper script to load stored credentials
function Get-CertificatePassword {
if (Test-Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml") {
return Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\cert-password.xml"
}
else {
Write-Warning "Certificate password not found. Please run setup."
return Read-Host "Enter certificate password" -AsSecureString
}
}
function Get-DomainCredential {
if (Test-Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml") {
return Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Secure\shopfloor-admin-cred.xml"
}
else {
Write-Warning "Domain credentials not found. Please run setup."
return Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials"
}
}
Export-ModuleMember -Function Get-CertificatePassword, Get-DomainCredential
'@ | Out-File -FilePath ".\Load-SecureCredentials.ps1" -Encoding UTF8
Write-Host "Helper script created: .\Load-SecureCredentials.ps1" -ForegroundColor Green
```
---
### Step 5: Use in Scripts
```powershell
# Import helper
. .\Load-SecureCredentials.ps1
# Get stored credentials
$certPass = Get-CertificatePassword
$cred = Get-DomainCredential
# Use in operations
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred
```

.SYNOPSIS
Sets up WinRM HTTPS configuration using a wildcard certificate.
.DESCRIPTION
This script configures WinRM for HTTPS connections using a wildcard certificate
(e.g., *.logon.ds.ge.com). It handles:
1. Certificate installation from PFX file
2. HTTPS listener creation with proper hostname
3. Firewall rule configuration for port 5986
4. WinRM service configuration
.PARAMETER CertificatePath
Path to the PFX certificate file containing the wildcard certificate.
.PARAMETER CertificatePassword
SecureString password for the PFX certificate file.
.PARAMETER Domain
The domain suffix for FQDNs (e.g., "logon.ds.ge.com").
Will construct FQDN as: hostname.domain
.PARAMETER CertificateThumbprint
Use existing certificate by thumbprint instead of importing from PFX.
.PARAMETER Port
HTTPS port for WinRM (default: 5986).
.PARAMETER SkipFirewall
Skip firewall rule creation.
.PARAMETER TestConnection
Test HTTPS connection after setup.
.EXAMPLE
# Import certificate and setup WinRM HTTPS
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssw0rd" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Use existing certificate by thumbprint
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint "AB123..." -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Prompt for certificate password
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx" -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"

.SYNOPSIS
Signs certificates for multiple PCs using the Certificate Authority
.DESCRIPTION
Reads a list of hostnames and creates individual signed certificates for each PC.
This is the proper way to deploy WinRM HTTPS to 175 shopfloor PCs.
.PARAMETER HostnameFile
Path to text file containing PC hostnames (one per line)
.PARAMETER Hostnames
Array of hostnames to process
.PARAMETER Domain
The domain suffix (default: logon.ds.ge.com)
.PARAMETER CAThumbprint
Thumbprint of the CA certificate used to sign certificates
.PARAMETER CAPfxPath
Path to the CA PFX file
.PARAMETER CAPassword
Password for the CA PFX file
.PARAMETER OutputPath
Directory to save signed certificates (default: ./pc-certificates)
.PARAMETER ValidityYears
How many years certificates should be valid (default: 2)
.PARAMETER CertificatePassword
Password for all exported PC certificates (use same password for simplicity)
.EXAMPLE
# Sign certificates for all PCs in file
$caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "CAPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCertPass" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt `
-CAPfxPath "CA.pfx" -CAPassword $caPass -CertificatePassword $certPass
.EXAMPLE
# Sign certificates using CA from local store
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCertPass" -AsPlainText -Force

================================================================================
DEPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================
1. INSTALL CA CERTIFICATE ON MANAGEMENT COMPUTERS
- Install the CA public certificate (*.cer from CA creation)
- Import to Trusted Root Certification Authorities
- This makes all signed certificates automatically trusted
Command:
Import-Certificate -FilePath "CA.cer" ``
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
2. DISTRIBUTE PC CERTIFICATES
- Each PC needs its own PFX file
- Copy the appropriate certificate to each PC
- Password is the same for all certificates
3. DEPLOY TO EACH PC
Option A - Manual deployment:
a. Copy PFX file to PC
b. Import certificate:
`$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PASSWORD" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "HOSTNAME.pfx" ``
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My ``
-Password `$pass
c. Configure WinRM HTTPS with the certificate
Option B - Automated deployment (recommended):
- Update deployment package with individual certificates
- Use deployment script for each PC
- See: Deploy-IndividualCertificates.ps1
4. VERIFY DEPLOYMENT
From management computer:
Test-WSMan -ComputerName HOSTNAME.$Domain -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Should work without -SessionOption if CA is trusted
================================================================================
FILES GENERATED
================================================================================
Summary Reports:
- CERTIFICATE-SUMMARY.txt (this file)
- certificate-list.csv (spreadsheet format)
Certificate Files:
$successCount PFX files (one per PC with private key)
$successCount CER files (public certificates)
================================================================================
SECURITY NOTES
================================================================================
1. All PC certificates use the same password for simplicity
2. Store the certificate password securely (password manager)
3. CA private key is NOT distributed to PCs (only signing cert)
4. Each PC only receives its own certificate
5. If a certificate is compromised, only one PC is affected
6. Certificates expire after $ValidityYears years - plan renewal
================================================================================
NEXT STEPS
================================================================================
[ ] 1. Install CA certificate on all management computers
[ ] 2. Test: Import one certificate to one PC manually
[ ] 3. Configure WinRM HTTPS on test PC
[ ] 4. Verify remote connection works
[ ] 5. Deploy to remaining PCs in batches
[ ] 6. Track deployment progress
[ ] 7. Verify all deployments successful
[ ] 8. Document certificate expiration dates
[ ] 9. Set calendar reminder for renewal

.SYNOPSIS
Signs an individual PC certificate using the Certificate Authority
.DESCRIPTION
Creates and signs a certificate for a specific PC using the CA certificate.
The certificate will have the proper hostname (e.g., g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com)
and will be automatically trusted on any computer that trusts the CA.
.PARAMETER Hostname
The hostname of the PC (without domain suffix)
Example: G9KN7PZ3ESF
.PARAMETER Domain
The domain suffix (default: logon.ds.ge.com)
.PARAMETER CAThumbprint
Thumbprint of the CA certificate used to sign this certificate
.PARAMETER CAPfxPath
Path to the CA PFX file (if CA is not in local store)
.PARAMETER CAPassword
Password for the CA PFX file
.PARAMETER OutputPath
Directory to save the signed certificate (default: current directory)
.PARAMETER ValidityYears
How many years the certificate should be valid (default: 2)
.PARAMETER ExportPassword
Password for exporting the signed certificate
.EXAMPLE
# Sign certificate using CA from local store
.\Sign-PCCertificate.ps1 -Hostname G9KN7PZ3ESF -CAThumbprint "ABC123..."
.EXAMPLE
# Sign certificate using CA from PFX file
$caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "CAPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "CertPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Sign-PCCertificate.ps1 -Hostname G9KN7PZ3ESF -CAPfxPath "C:\CA\ca.pfx" `

================================================================================
DEPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================
1. Copy the PFX file to the PC:
Copy-Item "$pfxPath" \\$FQDN\C$\Temp\
2. On the PC ($Hostname), import the certificate:
`$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\Temp\$(Split-Path $pfxPath -Leaf)" ``
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My ``
-Password `$certPass
3. Configure WinRM HTTPS with the certificate:
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint "$($pcCert.Thumbprint)" ``
-Domain "$Domain"
4. Or use the deployment package with this certificate:
- Replace wildcard certificate with this PC-specific certificate
- Run Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat on $Hostname
================================================================================
VERIFICATION
================================================================================
On the PC ($Hostname):
# View certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My\$($pcCert.Thumbprint)
# Verify issuer
`$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My\$($pcCert.Thumbprint)
Write-Host "Issuer: `$(`$cert.Issuer)"
# Should show: $($caCert.Subject)
On Management Computer:
# Verify CA is trusted
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {`$_.Thumbprint -eq "$($caCert.Thumbprint)"}
# Test connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName $FQDN -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Should work without -SessionOption if CA is trusted
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
If certificate isn't trusted:
1. Install CA certificate on management computer:
Import-Certificate -FilePath "CA.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
2. Verify certificate chain on PC:
Test-Certificate -Cert (Get-Item Cert:\LocalMachine\My\$($pcCert.Thumbprint))
3. Check WinRM listener:
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Should show Hostname = $FQDN (not wildcard)

# Testing Remote WinRM HTTPS Connections
## Quick Reference
### From Your Computer to Test PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF)
```powershell
# Test basic connectivity
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Interactive remote session
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Run single command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ScriptBlock { hostname }
```
---
## Step-by-Step Testing Guide
### Step 1: Test Basic WinRM Connectivity
This is the simplest test - it just checks if WinRM HTTPS is responding:
```powershell
# Open PowerShell on your computer
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
**Expected Output** (Success):
```
wsmid : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0
```
**If it fails**, you'll see error messages. Common issues:
- Certificate trust issues
- Network connectivity
- Firewall blocking port 5986
- WinRM service not running
---
### Step 2: Test with Credentials (Basic Authentication)
Create a credential object and test connection:
```powershell
# Get credentials (will prompt for username/password)
$cred = Get-Credential
# When prompted, enter:
# Username: DOMAIN\username (or .\localadmin for local account)
# Password: your password
# Test connection with credentials
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred
```
---
### Step 3: Interactive Remote Session (Enter-PSSession)
This gives you an interactive command prompt on the remote computer:
```powershell
# Create credential if not already done
$cred = Get-Credential
# Enter interactive session
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
**Expected Output**:
```
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\Users\username\Documents>
```
Notice your prompt changes to show `[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]:` - you're now on the remote PC!
**Try some commands**:
```powershell
# Check hostname
hostname
# Check IP configuration
ipconfig
# Check running services
Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq 'Running'}
# Check WinRM configuration
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Exit remote session
Exit-PSSession
```
---
### Step 4: Run Commands Remotely (Invoke-Command)
Execute commands on the remote PC without entering an interactive session:
```powershell
# Single command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock { hostname }
# Multiple commands
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock {
$hostname = hostname
$ip = (Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 | Where-Object {$_.IPAddress -notlike "127.*"})[0].IPAddress
[PSCustomObject]@{
Hostname = $hostname
IPAddress = $ip
WinRMStatus = (Get-Service WinRM).Status
}
}
```
---
### Step 5: Create Persistent Session (New-PSSession)
Create a session object for reuse:
```powershell
# Create session
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Check session
$session
# Use the session multiple times
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-ComputerInfo }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Service WinRM }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10 }
# Close session when done
Remove-PSSession $session
```
**Benefits of persistent sessions**:
- Faster execution (connection is reused)
- Can maintain state between commands
- More efficient for multiple operations
---
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
### Issue 1: Certificate Trust Error
**Error**:
```
Test-WSMan : The SSL certificate contains a common name (CN) that does not match the hostname.
```
or
```
The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown certificate authority.
```
**Cause**: Your computer doesn't trust the self-signed certificate.
**Solution A - Skip Certificate Check (Testing Only)**:
```powershell
# Set session option to skip certificate validation
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
# Use with Test-WSMan
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
# Use with Enter-PSSession
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
# Use with Invoke-Command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption -ScriptBlock { hostname }
```
**Solution B - Install Certificate on Your Computer (Production)**:
```powershell
# Import the certificate to Trusted Root CAs on your computer
# This makes the certificate permanently trusted
# If you have the PFX file with password:
$certPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root `
-Password $certPassword
# Or export certificate from remote PC (without private key) and import:
# 1. On remote PC: Export certificate as .cer file
# 2. On your PC: Import to Trusted Root Certification Authorities
Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\wildcard-cert.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
```

### Issue 2: Authentication Failed
**Error**:
```
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com failed with the following error message :
Access is denied.
```
**Possible Causes**:
1. Wrong username/password
2. User not in local Administrators group on remote PC
3. User Account Control (UAC) filtering
**Solutions**:
```powershell
# Try with explicit domain
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName "DOMAIN\username" -Message "Enter password"
# Or try local administrator
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName ".\Administrator" -Message "Enter password"
# Or try with computer name
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName "G9KN7PZ3ESF\username" -Message "Enter password"
```
---
### Issue 3: Network Connection Failed
**Error**:
```
Test-WSMan : <f:WSManFault xmlns:f="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsmanfault" Code="2150858770"
Machine="localhost"><f:Message>The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if
the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled.
```
**Possible Causes**:
1. PC is offline/unreachable
2. Firewall blocking port 5986
3. DNS resolution issues
4. Wrong hostname
**Troubleshooting**:
```powershell
# Test basic network connectivity
Test-Connection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# Test DNS resolution
Resolve-DnsName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# Test port 5986 connectivity
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
# Try with IP address instead of hostname
Test-WSMan -ComputerName 192.168.x.x -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
```
---
### Issue 4: WinRM Client Configuration
**Error**:
```
The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request.
```
**Solution**: Configure WinRM client settings on your computer:
```powershell
# Run as Administrator on your computer
# Enable basic authentication (if needed)
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\Auth\Basic -Value $true
# Add remote PC to trusted hosts (if not in same domain)
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com" -Concatenate
# Or add wildcard for all PCs
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "*.logon.ds.ge.com" -Concatenate
# View current trusted hosts
Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
```

# Troubleshooting Certificate Generation Issues
## Common Error: "Smart card select a smart card device the security device is read-only"
This error occurs when using `New-SelfSignedCertificate` on systems with:
- Smart card policies enforced by Group Policy
- Smart card readers attached
- Restricted certificate store permissions
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module) restrictions
### Quick Fixes
#### Fix 1: Use Alternative Certificate Generation Script
```powershell
# Use the alternative script that bypasses smart card issues
.\Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1
```
This script uses `certreq.exe` instead of `New-SelfSignedCertificate` to avoid smart card device errors.
---
#### Fix 2: Temporarily Disable Smart Card Service
```powershell
# Stop smart card service temporarily
Stop-Service -Name "SCardSvr" -Force
# Run certificate generation
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1
# Restart service
Start-Service -Name "SCardSvr"
```
**Note:** Requires Administrator privileges. May affect other applications using smart cards.
---
#### Fix 3: Use Different Crypto Provider
```powershell
# Generate certificate with specific provider
$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate `
-DnsName "*.logon.ds.ge.com", "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\My" `
-Provider "Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider" `
-KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
-KeySpec KeyExchange `
-NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(2)
```
---
#### Fix 4: Generate Certificate via CertReq
**Step 1: Create request file**
Create `cert-request.inf`:
```ini
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
[NewRequest]
Subject="CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com"
KeyLength=2048
KeyAlgorithm=RSA
HashAlgorithm=SHA256
MachineKeySet=TRUE
Exportable=TRUE
RequestType=Cert
KeyUsage=0xA0
KeyUsageProperty=0x02
[Extensions]
2.5.29.17 = "{text}"
_continue_ = "dns=*.logon.ds.ge.com&"
_continue_ = "dns=logon.ds.ge.com&"
2.5.29.37 = "{text}"
_continue_ = "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1,"
[EnhancedKeyUsageExtension]
OID=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1
```
**Step 2: Generate certificate**
```powershell
# Create certificate using certreq
certreq.exe -new -f cert-request.inf wildcard.cer
# Find the certificate
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object { $_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*" } |
Sort-Object NotBefore -Descending |
Select-Object -First 1
# Export to PFX
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert `
-FilePath "wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com.pfx" `
-Password $password
```
---
#### Fix 5: Generate on Different Computer
If the above methods don't work, generate the certificate on a computer without smart card restrictions:
1. **Generate on unrestricted computer:**
```powershell
.\Generate-WildcardCert.ps1
```
2. **Copy PFX file to restricted computer:**
```powershell
Copy-Item "wildcard-*.pfx" -Destination "\\RestrictedComputer\C$\Temp\"
```
3. **Use on restricted computer:**
```powershell
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath "C:\Temp\wildcard-*.pfx" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
## Other Common Certificate Errors
### Error: "Access Denied" When Creating Certificate
**Cause:** Insufficient permissions on certificate store
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Run PowerShell as Administrator
# Right-click PowerShell → Run as Administrator
# Verify admin rights
$isAdmin = ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)
if (-not $isAdmin) {
Write-Error "This script requires Administrator privileges"
exit 1
}
```
---
### Error: "The parameter is incorrect" When Exporting
**Cause:** Password not in correct format
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Ensure password is SecureString
$password = Read-Host "Enter password" -AsSecureString
# NOT this (unless using -AsPlainText -Force)
# $password = "MyPassword" # Wrong type
```
---
### Error: "Cannot export non-exportable private key"
**Cause:** Certificate created without exportable flag
**Solution:**
```powershell
# When creating, ensure KeyExportPolicy is Exportable
$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate `
-DnsName "*.logon.ds.ge.com" `
-KeyExportPolicy Exportable ` # Important!
-CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\My"
```
If already created, you must recreate the certificate.
---
### Error: "The trust chain could not be established"
**Cause:** Self-signed certificate not in Trusted Root store
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Import to Trusted Root
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object { $_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*" }
$rootStore = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store(
"Root", "LocalMachine"
)
$rootStore.Open("ReadWrite")
$rootStore.Add($cert)
$rootStore.Close()
Write-Host "Certificate added to Trusted Root"
```
---
## Group Policy Restrictions
### Check if Group Policy Restricts Certificates
```powershell
# Check certificate template policies
gpresult /H gpreport.html
# Open gpreport.html and search for "Certificate"
# Check smart card policies
Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SmartCardCredentialProvider"
```
### Workarounds for Group Policy
1. **Request exception from IT security team**
- Explain need for WinRM HTTPS testing
- Request temporary policy exemption
2. **Use test environment without policies**
- VM or workstation not in domain
- Generate certificates there
3. **Get certificate from Certificate Authority**
- Request wildcard cert from internal CA
- Avoids self-signed certificate issues
---
## Alternative: Use Existing Certificate
If you cannot generate certificates, use an existing one:
### Option 1: Use Existing Machine Certificate
```powershell
# Find existing exportable certificates
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object {
$_.HasPrivateKey -and
$_.Extensions | Where-Object { $_.Oid.FriendlyName -eq "Key Usage" }
} |
Select-Object Subject, Thumbprint, NotAfter
# Use existing certificate by thumbprint
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint "ABC123..." `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
### Option 2: Import Existing PFX
```powershell
# If you have a PFX file from elsewhere
$password = Read-Host "Enter PFX password" -AsSecureString
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "existing-cert.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\My" `
-Password $password `
-Exportable
# Use it
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object { $_.Subject -like "*your-domain*" }
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
---
## Using OpenSSL (Advanced)
If PowerShell methods fail completely, use OpenSSL:
### Install OpenSSL
```powershell
# Install via Chocolatey
choco install openssl -y
# Or download from: https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
```
### Generate Certificate with OpenSSL
```bash
# Generate private key
openssl genrsa -out wildcard.key 2048
# Generate certificate signing request
openssl req -new -key wildcard.key -out wildcard.csr -subj "/CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com"
# Create config file for SAN
cat > openssl.cnf << EOF
[req]
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = v3_req
[req_distinguished_name]
[v3_req]
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = *.logon.ds.ge.com
DNS.2 = logon.ds.ge.com
EOF
# Generate self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 730 -in wildcard.csr -signkey wildcard.key \
-out wildcard.crt -extensions v3_req -extfile openssl.cnf
# Create PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -out wildcard.pfx \
-inkey wildcard.key -in wildcard.crt \
-passout pass:YourPassword
```
### Import OpenSSL Certificate
```powershell
# Import the PFX created by OpenSSL
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "wildcard.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\My" `
-Password $password `
-Exportable
```
---
## Verification Steps
After generating certificate by any method:
```powershell
# 1. Verify certificate exists
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object { $_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*" }
if ($cert) {
Write-Host "Certificate found!" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "Subject: $($cert.Subject)"
Write-Host "Thumbprint: $($cert.Thumbprint)"
Write-Host "Has Private Key: $($cert.HasPrivateKey)"
Write-Host "Expires: $($cert.NotAfter)"
} else {
Write-Host "Certificate not found!" -ForegroundColor Red
}
# 2. Verify exportable
if ($cert.PrivateKey.CspKeyContainerInfo.Exportable) {
Write-Host "Private key is exportable" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
Write-Host "Private key is NOT exportable" -ForegroundColor Red
}
# 3. Test export
try {
$testPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "test" -AsPlainText -Force
$testPath = "$env:TEMP\test-export.pfx"
Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $testPath -Password $testPassword
Remove-Item $testPath -Force
Write-Host "Export test successful" -ForegroundColor Green
} catch {
Write-Host "Export test failed: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
```
---
## Getting Help
If none of these solutions work:
1. **Check Event Viewer:**
```powershell
# View certificate-related errors
Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source "Microsoft-Windows-CertificateServicesClient-CertEnroll" -Newest 10
```
2. **Enable certificate logging:**
```powershell
# Enable detailed certificate logging
wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-CertificateServicesClient-Lifecycle-System /e:true
wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-CertificateServicesClient-Lifecycle-User /e:true
```
3. **Check Group Policy settings:**
```powershell
gpresult /H C:\Temp\gpreport.html
# Open and search for certificate or smart card policies
```
4. **Test with makecert (legacy):**
```powershell
# If available (older Windows SDK)
makecert -r -pe -n "CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com" -sky exchange -ss my
```
5. **Contact IT/Security team:**
- Request certificate from internal CA
- Request policy exemption
- Request assistance with certificate generation
---
## Summary
**Recommended approach when you see smart card error:**
1. ✅ Try `Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1` (uses certreq)
2. ✅ Try disabling smart card service temporarily
3. ✅ Try different crypto provider
4. ✅ Generate on different computer without restrictions
5. ✅ Request certificate from your organization's CA
**For production deployment:**
- Always get certificates from trusted Certificate Authority
- Self-signed certificates are for testing only
- Document any workarounds used

WILDCARD CERTIFICATE vs CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY - COMPARISON
================================================================================
QUICK ANSWER: CA approach is BETTER - more secure AND easier to use!
================================================================================
SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON
================================================================================
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WILDCARD CERTIFICATE │
│ (Current Approach) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
SETUP:
1. Generate ONE wildcard certificate (*.logon.ds.ge.com)
2. Deploy SAME certificate to all 175 PCs
3. Each PC gets exact same cert with CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
CONNECTING FROM YOUR COMPUTER:
# Always need to skip certificate validation!
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-SessionOption $sessionOption ← REQUIRED!
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-SessionOption $sessionOption ← REQUIRED!
ISSUES WE HIT:
✗ Certificate CN mismatch error (had to fix with wildcard hostname)
✗ Certificate not trusted (must bypass validation)
✗ Security warning every time
✗ Same cert on all PCs (if compromised, all PCs affected)
SECURITY LEVEL: ⚠ Medium
- Certificate validation bypassed
- Same certificate on all systems
- No way to revoke for individual PC
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY │
│ (Recommended Approach) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
SETUP:
1. Generate ONE Certificate Authority
2. Use CA to sign 175 INDIVIDUAL certificates (one per PC)
3. Each PC gets its own cert with CN=hostname.logon.ds.ge.com
4. Install CA public certificate on YOUR computer
CONNECTING FROM YOUR COMPUTER:
# Clean and simple - no special options needed!
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# That's it! No -SessionOption!
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# That's it! No -SessionOption!
BENEFITS:
✓ No certificate CN mismatch (proper hostname in each cert)
✓ Certificate automatically trusted (CA is trusted)
✓ No security warnings
✓ Each PC has unique cert (compromised cert only affects one PC)
✓ Can revoke individual certificates
SECURITY LEVEL: ✓ High
- Full certificate validation
- Unique certificate per system
- Individual certificate revocation possible
================================================================================
DETAILED COMPARISON TABLE

PS> $cred = Get-Credential
PS> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `

DIFFERENCE:
- Wildcard: 4 lines, security bypass, warnings
- CA: 2 lines, clean, secure
================================================================================
TIME INVESTMENT
================================================================================
WILDCARD CERTIFICATE:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
One-time setup: 5 minutes (generate wildcard cert)
Per PC deployment: 3 minutes (copy and import same cert)
Total for 175 PCs: ~9 hours (5 min + 175 × 3 min)
Every connection: Extra typing for -SessionOption
Every connection: Security warnings
CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
One-time setup: 15 minutes (create CA, sign 175 certs, install CA)
Per PC deployment: 3 minutes (copy and import unique cert)
Total for 175 PCs: ~9 hours (15 min + 175 × 3 min)
Every connection: Clean, simple
Every connection: No security warnings
CONCLUSION: Same deployment time, but CA is cleaner to use forever!
================================================================================
SECURITY COMPARISON
================================================================================
SCENARIO: One certificate is compromised
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WILDCARD APPROACH:
✗ ALL 175 PCs are compromised (same certificate)
✗ Must generate NEW wildcard certificate
✗ Must redeploy to ALL 175 PCs
✗ Major security incident
CA APPROACH:
✓ Only ONE PC is compromised (unique certificate)
✓ Revoke that one certificate
✓ Generate new certificate for that one PC
✓ Redeploy to only ONE PC
✓ Other 174 PCs unaffected
✓ Minor security incident
SCENARIO: Certificate expires
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WILDCARD APPROACH:
- Generate new wildcard certificate
- Redeploy to ALL 175 PCs
CA APPROACH:
- CA valid for 10 years
- Sign 175 new certificates (5 minutes)
- Redeploy to all 175 PCs
- OR: Deploy in rolling fashion (25 PCs per month)
SCENARIO: Add 10 new PCs
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WILDCARD APPROACH:
- Deploy existing wildcard cert to 10 new PCs
- Same cert as other 175 PCs
CA APPROACH:
- Sign 10 new certificates (1 minute)
- Deploy to 10 new PCs
- Each PC gets unique certificate
- Automatically trusted (CA already installed)
================================================================================
REAL-WORLD USAGE
================================================================================
SCENARIO: Daily remote management
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WILDCARD APPROACH:
Every single connection:
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HOSTNAME -Credential $cred -UseSSL `
-Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
Gets old fast!
CA APPROACH:
Every single connection:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HOSTNAME -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
Clean and simple!
SCENARIO: Scripting automation
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WILDCARD APPROACH:
Every script must include:
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -SessionOption $sessionOption ...
CA APPROACH:
Clean script:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -UseSSL -Port 5986 ...
No special options needed!
================================================================================
CERTIFICATE INFORMATION
================================================================================
WILDCARD CERTIFICATE:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
Issuer: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com (self-signed)
Valid For: *.logon.ds.ge.com (all subdomains)
Trusted By: Nobody (must bypass validation)
Used By: All 175 PCs (same certificate)
CA-SIGNED CERTIFICATES:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Certificate Authority:
Subject: CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA
Issuer: CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA (self-signed)
Trusted By: All management computers
Individual PC Certificate (example):
Subject: CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
Issuer: CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA
Valid For: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com (specific hostname)
Trusted By: Any computer that trusts Shopfloor WinRM CA
Used By: Only G9KN7PZ3ESF (unique certificate)
================================================================================
MIGRATION PATH
================================================================================
If you already deployed wildcard certificates, you can migrate:
STEP 1: Create CA and sign certificates
.\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1
.\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt
STEP 2: Install CA on management computers
Import-Certificate -FilePath "CA.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
STEP 3: Replace certificates on PCs (one at a time or in batches)
- Import new CA-signed certificate
- Reconfigure WinRM listener
- Remove old wildcard certificate
- Test connection
STEP 4: Clean up
- Remove wildcard certificate from management computers
- Update documentation
- Securely store CA private key
================================================================================
RECOMMENDATION
================================================================================
RECOMMENDED: Certificate Authority Approach
WHY?
1. MORE SECURE: Individual certificates, proper validation
2. EASIER TO USE: No -SessionOption needed, cleaner commands
3. ENTERPRISE STANDARD: Proper PKI infrastructure
4. BETTER ISOLATION: Compromised cert only affects one PC
5. SCALABLE: Easy to add new PCs
6. PROFESSIONAL: Industry best practice
WHEN TO USE WILDCARD?
- Quick testing only
- Non-production environments
- Temporary setups
- When you're in a hurry and will fix it later
FOR PRODUCTION (175 PCs):
✓ Use Certificate Authority
✓ Sign individual certificates
✓ Proper certificate validation
✓ No security bypasses
================================================================================
SUMMARY
================================================================================
Wildcard CA
──────────────────────────────────────────
Setup Complexity Low Medium
Long-term Usability Poor Excellent
Security Medium High
Certificate Validation Bypassed Enforced
Connection Simplicity Complex Simple
Enterprise Ready No Yes
Recommended for 175 PCs No Yes
BOTTOM LINE:
CA approach is slightly more setup work, but MUCH better for daily use
and significantly more secure. For 175 production PCs, CA is the right choice.
================================================================================
NEXT STEPS
================================================================================
TO SWITCH TO CA APPROACH:
1. Read: CA-APPROACH-GUIDE.md (detailed walkthrough)
2. Run: .\Create-CertificateAuthority.ps1
3. Run: .\Sign-BulkPCCertificates.ps1 -HostnameFile shopfloor-hostnames.txt
4. Install CA on your management computer
5. Deploy individual certificates to PCs
6. Enjoy clean, secure connections!
TO CONTINUE WITH WILDCARD:
1. Re-run deployment with fixed wildcard script
2. Continue using -SessionOption for all connections
3. Accept security bypass warnings
4. Plan to migrate to CA later

# WinRM HTTPS Deployment Guide for Shopfloor PCs
This guide covers deploying WinRM over HTTPS to shopfloor PCs using a wildcard certificate for the `*.logon.ds.ge.com` domain.
## Overview
WinRM HTTPS provides secure, encrypted PowerShell remoting for asset collection across multiple shopfloor computers. This deployment uses a wildcard certificate to simplify certificate management across all PCs in the domain.
### Components
1. **Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1** - Configures WinRM HTTPS on target computers
2. **Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1** - Executes remote asset collection via HTTPS
3. **Wildcard Certificate** - `*.logon.ds.ge.com` certificate (PFX format with private key)
### Advantages Over HTTP WinRM
- **Encrypted traffic** - All data and credentials encrypted in transit
- **No TrustedHosts** - No need to configure TrustedHosts on management server
- **Better security** - Industry standard for production environments
- **Certificate authentication** - Mutual authentication support
- **Compliance** - Meets security compliance requirements
## Prerequisites
### Certificate Requirements
- Wildcard certificate for `*.logon.ds.ge.com`
- Certificate format: PFX (with private key)
- Certificate type: Server Authentication
- Must not be expired or revoked
- Same certificate can be used on all shopfloor PCs
### Target Computers (Shopfloor PCs)
- Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+
- PowerShell 5.1 or later
- Network connectivity
- Administrator account for setup
- Hostnames that resolve to `hostname.logon.ds.ge.com`
### Management Server
- Windows with PowerShell 5.1 or later
- Network connectivity to shopfloor PCs on port 5986
- Administrator credentials for target computers
- DNS resolution for `*.logon.ds.ge.com`
## Deployment Steps
### Phase 1: Prepare Certificate Distribution
1. **Obtain Wildcard Certificate**
```powershell
# Ensure you have the wildcard certificate PFX file
# Example: wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com.pfx
# Store in a secure location: C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx
```
2. **Create Distribution Package**
```
Create a deployment folder with:
- wildcard.pfx (the certificate)
- Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
- deploy-winrm-https.bat (optional batch file)
```
3. **Secure Certificate Password**
```powershell
# Store certificate password securely
# Document password in secure password manager
# Share with authorized personnel only
```
### Phase 2: Deploy to Target Computers
#### Option A: Manual Deployment (Single Computer)
1. **Copy files to target computer**
```
Copy to C:\Temp\WinRM-HTTPS-Setup\:
- wildcard.pfx
- Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
```
2. **Run setup script as Administrator**
```powershell
cd C:\Temp\WinRM-HTTPS-Setup
# Interactive mode (will prompt for certificate password)
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# Or with password parameter
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourCertPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
3. **Verify setup**
```powershell
# Check WinRM listeners
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Should show HTTPS listener on port 5986
```
#### Option B: Batch Deployment (Multiple Computers)
1. **Create deployment script**
```powershell
# deploy-to-all.ps1
$computers = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt"
$domain = "logon.ds.ge.com"
$certPath = "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = Get-Credential # Domain admin credentials
foreach ($hostname in $computers) {
$fqdn = "$hostname.$domain"
Write-Host "Deploying to $fqdn..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
# Copy files
$remotePath = "\\$fqdn\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
New-Item -Path $remotePath -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item ".\wildcard.pfx" -Destination $remotePath
Copy-Item ".\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" -Destination $remotePath
# Execute remotely (requires existing WinRM/admin access)
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $fqdn -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
param($CertPath, $CertPass, $Domain)
Set-Location C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath $CertPath `
-CertificatePassword $CertPass -Domain $Domain
} -ArgumentList "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\wildcard.pfx", $certPass, $domain
Write-Host "Completed: $fqdn" -ForegroundColor Green
}
```
#### Option C: Group Policy Deployment
1. **Import certificate via GPO**
- Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings
- Public Key Policies > Certificates (Local Computer > Personal)
- Import wildcard.pfx
2. **Deploy setup script via GPO**
- Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts
- Startup script: Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
### Phase 3: Test Connections
1. **Create hostname list file**
```
# shopfloor-hostnames.txt
SHOPPC001
SHOPPC002
SHOPPC003
PROD-LINE-01
PROD-LINE-02
```
2. **Test HTTPS connections**
```powershell
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-TestConnections
```
3. **Verify each connection**
```
Expected output:
Resolving SHOPPC001.logon.ds.ge.com... [192.168.x.x]
Testing SHOPPC001.logon.ds.ge.com... [OK]
```
### Phase 4: Deploy Asset Collection
1. **Run asset collection**
```powershell
# Get credentials once
$cred = Get-Credential
# Run collection across all shopfloor PCs
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-Credential $cred `
-MaxConcurrent 10
```
2. **Monitor progress**
```
Watch console output for:
- DNS resolution results
- Connection validation
- Batch processing progress
- Success/failure summary
```
3. **Review logs**
```powershell
# Check log file
Get-Content ".\logs\remote-collection-https.log" -Tail 50
```

## Troubleshooting
### Certificate Issues
**Problem**: "Certificate not found"
```powershell
# Solution: Verify certificate is installed
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
```
**Problem**: "Certificate has no private key"
```powershell
# Solution: Re-import certificate with private key
# Ensure PFX file includes private key
# Check "Mark this key as exportable" during import
```
**Problem**: "Certificate expired"
```powershell
# Solution: Check certificate expiration
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
$cert.NotAfter # Shows expiration date
```
### Connection Issues
**Problem**: "Unable to connect to remote server"
```powershell
# Check 1: Test DNS resolution
Resolve-DnsName "shoppc001.logon.ds.ge.com"
# Check 2: Test port connectivity
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "shoppc001.logon.ds.ge.com" -Port 5986
# Check 3: Test WinRM HTTPS
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "shoppc001.logon.ds.ge.com" -Port 5986 -UseSSL
```
**Problem**: "The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown authority"
```powershell
# Solution 1: Install root CA certificate on management server
# Import the CA certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities
# Solution 2: Use SkipCertificateCheck (not recommended for production)
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -SkipCertificateCheck ...
```
### Firewall Issues
**Problem**: "Connection timeout"
```powershell
# On target computer, verify firewall rule
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
# If missing, create manually
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" `
-Name "WinRM HTTPS-In" `
-Profile Any `
-LocalPort 5986 `
-Protocol TCP `
-Direction Inbound `
-Action Allow `
-Enabled True
```
### Authentication Issues
**Problem**: "Access denied"
```powershell
# Solution: Verify credentials have admin rights
# Check user is member of local Administrators group on target computer
# Test credentials
$cred = Get-Credential
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "shoppc001.logon.ds.ge.com" -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
### Diagnostic Commands
```powershell
# On target computer (run as Administrator)
# Show all WinRM configuration
winrm get winrm/config
# Show listeners
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Show service status
Get-Service WinRM
# Test local HTTPS listener
Test-WSMan -ComputerName localhost -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Check certificate in use
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
$cert | Format-List *
```
## Security Best Practices
### Certificate Management
1. **Protect Private Key**
- Store PFX files in encrypted storage
- Limit access to certificate files
- Use strong passwords for PFX files
- Delete PFX files after installation
2. **Monitor Expiration**
```powershell
# Create reminder for certificate renewal
# Typical certificate lifetime: 1-2 years
# Plan renewal 30-60 days before expiration
```
3. **Certificate Revocation**
- Have process for certificate revocation if compromised
- Distribute new certificate to all PCs
- Remove old certificate from all systems
### Network Security
1. **Firewall Configuration**
- Limit port 5986 to specific management IPs if possible
- Use Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
- Document firewall rules
2. **Network Segmentation**
- Keep shopfloor network segregated
- Use VLANs for additional isolation
- Restrict management access
### Credential Management
1. **Service Accounts**
```powershell
# Use dedicated service account for automation
# Grant minimum required permissions
# Rotate passwords regularly
```
2. **Credential Storage**
```powershell
# For scheduled tasks, use Credential Manager
# Never hardcode passwords in scripts
# Use SecureString for password handling
```
## Maintenance
### Certificate Renewal
When wildcard certificate needs renewal:
1. **Obtain new certificate**
- Request renewal from certificate authority
- Export as PFX with private key
2. **Deploy new certificate**
```powershell
# Run on each target computer
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath ".\new-wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
# This will replace the HTTPS listener with new certificate
```
3. **Verify deployment**
```powershell
# Test connections with new certificate
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -TestConnections ...
```
4. **Remove old certificate**
```powershell
# On each computer, remove old certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object {$_.Thumbprint -eq "OLD_THUMBPRINT"} |
Remove-Item
```
### Regular Checks
```powershell
# Monthly verification script
$computers = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt"
$domain = "logon.ds.ge.com"
foreach ($hostname in $computers) {
$fqdn = "$hostname.$domain"
try {
$result = Test-WSMan -ComputerName $fqdn -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host "[OK] $fqdn" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host "[FAIL] $fqdn - $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
## Migration from HTTP to HTTPS
If currently using WinRM HTTP, follow these steps:
1. **Continue running HTTP during transition**
- HTTPS and HTTP listeners can coexist
- Test HTTPS thoroughly before removing HTTP
2. **Deploy HTTPS to all computers**
- Use deployment procedures above
- Verify each computer is accessible via HTTPS
3. **Update collection scripts**
- Switch from Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection.ps1
- To Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1
- Test with small batch first
4. **Remove HTTP listeners (optional)**
```powershell
# Only after HTTPS is fully verified
winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP
```
## Example Workflows
### Daily Asset Collection
```powershell
# scheduled-collection.ps1
# Run this as a scheduled task
$domain = "logon.ds.ge.com"
$hostnameFile = "C:\Scripts\shopfloor-hostnames.txt"
$logPath = "C:\Logs\asset-collection-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd').log"
# Use stored credentials (setup via Credential Manager)
$username = "DOMAIN\svc-assetcollection"
$password = Get-Content "C:\Secure\svc-pass.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString
$cred = New-Object PSCredential($username, $password)
# Run collection
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile $hostnameFile `
-Domain $domain `
-Credential $cred `
-MaxConcurrent 10 `
-LogPath $logPath
```
### Ad-Hoc Single Computer Collection
```powershell
# Quick collection from one computer
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameList @("SHOPPC001") `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
```
### Batch Collection with Reporting
```powershell
# Run collection and generate report
$result = .\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 `
-HostnameListFile ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com" `
-MaxConcurrent 10
# Send email report
$summary = Get-Content ".\logs\remote-collection-https.log" | Select-Object -Last 20
Send-MailMessage -To "it-team@example.com" `
-Subject "Asset Collection Complete - $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd')" `
-Body ($summary -join "`n") `
-SmtpServer "smtp.example.com"
```
## Reference
### Default Ports
- HTTP WinRM: 5985 (not recommended)
- HTTPS WinRM: 5986 (recommended)
### File Locations
- Certificates: `Cert:\LocalMachine\My`
- WinRM Config: `WSMan:\localhost`
- Logs: `.\logs\remote-collection-https.log`
### Useful Commands
```powershell
# Test HTTPS connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Create session
New-PSSession -ComputerName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred
# Interactive session
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName "hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred

# Network Share Deployment Guide
This guide explains how to deploy WinRM HTTPS to shopfloor PCs using a network share.
## Overview
Instead of manually copying files to each PC, you can:
1. Place all files on a network share
2. Access the share from each PC
3. Run a batch file to install
This is faster and ensures all PCs get the same configuration.
## Setup Network Share
### Step 1: Create Network Share
**On your file server or management computer:**
```powershell
# Create deployment folder
$deployPath = "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS"
New-Item -Path $deployPath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Copy all required files to deployment folder
Copy-Item "C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-https\*" -Destination $deployPath -Recurse
# Share the folder
New-SmbShare -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -Path $deployPath -FullAccess "Everyone"
```
**Or manually:**
1. Create folder: `C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS`
2. Copy all files from `winrm-https` folder
3. Right-click folder → Properties → Sharing → Advanced Sharing
4. Check "Share this folder"
5. Share name: `WinRM-HTTPS`
6. Permissions: Give "Everyone" Read access (or specific security group)
### Step 2: Verify Share Access
**From another computer:**
```powershell
# Test access (replace SERVER with your server name)
Test-Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
# List files
Get-ChildItem "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
```
Expected files:
-`Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
-`Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1`
-`wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx`
- ✅ Other PS1 scripts
---
## Required Files for Deployment
### Minimal Deployment Package
For basic deployment, you need:
```
\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\
├── Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (NEW - Main deployment script)
├── Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 (WinRM HTTPS setup)
├── wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx (Certificate - REQUIRED)
└── README.txt (Optional - Instructions)
```
### Complete Package (Recommended)
Include everything for troubleshooting:
```
\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\
├── Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (Deployment batch file)
├── Test-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (Test batch file)
├── Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 (WinRM setup script)
├── Test-WinRM-HTTPS-Setup.ps1 (Test script)
├── Generate-WildcardCert.ps1 (Certificate generator - optional)
├── Generate-WildcardCert-Alternative.ps1 (Alternative generator)
├── wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx (Certificate - REQUIRED!)
├── README.md (Documentation)
├── GETTING_STARTED.md (User guide)
├── NETWORK_SHARE_DEPLOYMENT.md (This file)
└── TROUBLESHOOTING_CERTIFICATE_GENERATION.md
```
---
## Deployment Methods
### Method 1: User Runs from Network Share (Simplest)
**On each shopfloor PC:**
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Navigate to: `\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS`
3. Right-click `Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
4. Select "Run as Administrator"
5. Enter certificate password when prompted
6. Wait for completion
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Simple - no copying needed
- ✅ Always uses latest files
- ✅ No local disk space used
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires network connectivity during install
- ⚠️ Slower if network is congested
---
### Method 2: Copy to Local Then Run (Recommended)
**On each shopfloor PC:**
```powershell
# Copy files locally first
New-Item -Path "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup" -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\*" -Destination "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\" -Recurse
# Run locally
cd C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
.\Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
```
**Or using batch file:**
```batch
@echo off
echo Copying deployment files...
xcopy "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\*" "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\" /E /Y
cd /d C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Faster execution
- ✅ Works if network connection lost
- ✅ Can verify files before running
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Uses local disk space
- ⚠️ Extra copy step
---
### Method 3: Remote Execution (Advanced)
**From management computer, deploy to multiple PCs:**
```powershell
# List of target PCs
$targetPCs = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" | Select-Object -First 5
# Your credentials
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter domain admin credentials"
# Deploy to each PC
foreach ($hostname in $targetPCs) {
Write-Host "Deploying to $hostname..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
# Copy files to remote PC
$remotePath = "\\$hostname\C$\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
New-Item -Path $remotePath -ItemType Directory -Force
Copy-Item "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS\*" -Destination $remotePath -Recurse
# Execute remotely
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $hostname -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
Set-Location "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup"
# Run PowerShell script directly
$certPath = "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -AsPlainText -Force
& "C:\Temp\WinRM-Setup\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" `
-CertificatePath $certPath `
-CertificatePassword $certPass `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
}
Write-Host "[OK] $hostname - Deployment complete" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host "[FAIL] $hostname - $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Deploy to many PCs from one location
- ✅ No physical access needed
- ✅ Can run overnight/batch
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires existing remote access (WinRM or admin shares)
- ⚠️ More complex
- ⚠️ Password visible in script (use secure credential management)
---
### Method 4: Group Policy Startup Script
**For domain-joined computers:**
1. **Copy files to NETLOGON share:**
```
\\DOMAIN\NETLOGON\Scripts\WinRM-HTTPS\
```
2. **Create GPO:**
- Open Group Policy Management
- Create new GPO: "Deploy WinRM HTTPS"
- Edit GPO
3. **Add Startup Script:**
- Computer Configuration → Policies → Windows Settings → Scripts
- Startup → Add
- Script: `\\DOMAIN\NETLOGON\Scripts\WinRM-HTTPS\Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat`
4. **Link GPO to OU:**
- Link to Shopfloor Computers OU
- PCs will run script on next reboot
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Automated deployment
- ✅ Centrally managed
- ✅ Runs with SYSTEM privileges
**Disadvantages:**
- ⚠️ Requires domain environment
- ⚠️ Requires restart
- ⚠️ Password handling more complex
---
## Security Considerations
### Certificate Password
**Problem:** The batch file and scripts need the certificate password.
**Solutions:**
**Option 1: Interactive Prompt (Recommended for Manual)**
```batch
REM Batch file prompts user
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
REM User types password when prompted
```
**Option 2: Encrypted File (Recommended for Automation)**
```powershell
# One-time setup: Store password encrypted
$certPass = Read-Host "Enter cert password" -AsSecureString
$certPass | Export-Clixml -Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\cert-password.xml"
# Modify Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat to use:
# -CertificatePasswordFile ".\cert-password.xml"
```
**Option 3: Environment Variable (Less Secure)**
```batch
REM Set on each PC or via GPO
setx WINRM_CERT_PASS "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" /M
```
**⚠️ Never:**
- Hardcode password in batch file on network share (readable by everyone)
- Email password in plaintext
- Store password in unencrypted text file
### Share Permissions
**Recommended permissions:**
- **Read:** Authenticated Users or Shopfloor Computers group
- **Change/Full Control:** IT Admins only
```powershell
# Set proper permissions
Grant-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -AccountName "DOMAIN\Domain Computers" -AccessRight Read -Force
Grant-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -AccountName "DOMAIN\IT Admins" -AccessRight Full -Force
```
### Certificate Protection
The certificate PFX file contains the private key. Protect it:
1. **Use share permissions** to restrict access
2. **Use certificate password** (you did ✅)
3. **Monitor access** to the share
4. **Delete from share** after deployment complete
---
## Deployment Workflow
### Recommended Workflow
**Phase 1: Prepare (One Time)**
```
1. Create network share: \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS
2. Copy all deployment files
3. Test from one PC
4. Document password securely
```
**Phase 2: Test Deployment (3-5 PCs)**
```
For each test PC:
1. Navigate to \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS
2. Right-click Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat → Run as Administrator
3. Enter password when prompted
4. Verify success
5. Test connection from management server
```
**Phase 3: Full Deployment (All 175 PCs)**
```
Option A: Manual
- Visit each PC or send instructions to users
- Run Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
Option B: Remote
- Use remote execution script
- Deploy in batches of 20
Option C: Automated
- Use GPO startup script
- Schedule during maintenance window
```
**Phase 4: Verification**
```
1. Run connection test:
.\Invoke-RemoteAssetCollection-HTTPS.ps1 -TestConnections
2. Check logs for failures
3. Remediate failed PCs
```
**Phase 5: Cleanup**
```
1. Remove certificate from network share
2. Store password in secure vault
3. Document deployed PCs
4. Update asset inventory
```
---
## Example: Complete Deployment Session
### Step 1: Setup Share
```powershell
# On management server
$deployPath = "C:\Deployment\WinRM-HTTPS"
New-Item -Path $deployPath -ItemType Directory -Force
# Copy files
Copy-Item "C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-https\*" -Destination $deployPath
# Share
New-SmbShare -Name "WinRM-HTTPS" -Path $deployPath -ReadAccess "Everyone"
Write-Host "Share created: \\$env:COMPUTERNAME\WinRM-HTTPS"
```
### Step 2: Test on One PC
**On test PC (G1JJVH63ESF):**
1. Open Explorer: `\\MANAGEMENT-SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS`
2. Right-click `Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat` → Run as Administrator
3. Enter password: `XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5`
4. Wait for completion
### Step 3: Verify
**From management server:**
```powershell
# Test connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986
# If successful, create session
$cred = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "G1JJVH63ESF.logon.ds.ge.com" `
-UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred
# Test command
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { $env:COMPUTERNAME }
# Cleanup
Remove-PSSession $session
```
### Step 4: Deploy to Next Batch
```powershell
# Deploy to next 5 PCs
$nextBatch = Get-Content ".\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" | Select-Object -Skip 1 -First 5
foreach ($hostname in $nextBatch) {
Write-Host "`nDeploying to $hostname..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
# Instructions for manual deployment
Write-Host "1. RDP/physically access: $hostname" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "2. Open: \\MANAGEMENT-SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "3. Run: Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (as Administrator)" -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "4. Password: XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -ForegroundColor Yellow
$continue = Read-Host "`nPress Enter when complete (or S to skip)"
if ($continue -eq 'S') { continue }
# Test after deployment
try {
Test-WSMan -ComputerName "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com" -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host "[OK] $hostname - WinRM HTTPS working" -ForegroundColor Green
}
catch {
Write-Host "[FAIL] $hostname - Could not connect" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
```
---
## Troubleshooting Network Share Deployment
### Problem: "Cannot access network share"
**Check:**
```powershell
# Test connectivity
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName SERVER -Port 445
# Test share access
Test-Path "\\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS"
# List shares
Get-SmbShare -CimSession SERVER
# Check permissions
Get-SmbShareAccess -Name "WinRM-HTTPS"
```
**Solution:**
- Verify share exists
- Check firewall (port 445)
- Verify user has Read access
- Try with UNC path: `\\SERVER.domain.com\WinRM-HTTPS`
---
### Problem: "Access Denied" running batch file
**Solution:**
- Right-click → Run as Administrator
- User must be local admin on PC
- Check UAC settings
---
### Problem: Certificate password prompt fails
**Solution:**
- Modify batch file to read from file
- Use encrypted credential file
- Or hardcode temporarily for testing (remove after)
---

QUICK CONNECTION REFERENCE - WinRM HTTPS
================================================================================
HOW TO CONNECT TO REMOTE PC FROM YOUR COMPUTER
================================================================================
METHOD 1: BASIC TEST (No Authentication Required)
================================================================================
Test if WinRM HTTPS is responding:
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
Replace "g9kn7pz3esf" with any PC hostname.
Expected Output:
wsmid : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0
================================================================================
METHOD 2: INTERACTIVE SESSION (Most Common)
================================================================================
Get an interactive PowerShell prompt on the remote PC:
# Get credentials (will prompt)
$cred = Get-Credential
# Connect
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
Your prompt will change to show the remote computer name:
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\>
Run commands normally. To exit:
Exit-PSSession
================================================================================
METHOD 3: RUN SINGLE COMMAND (Quick Tasks)
================================================================================
Execute a command without entering interactive mode:
# Get credentials first
$cred = Get-Credential
# Run command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock { hostname }
Example - Get system info:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock { Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsVersion, TotalPhysicalMemory }
================================================================================
METHOD 4: PERSISTENT SESSION (Multiple Commands)
================================================================================
Create a reusable connection:
# Get credentials
$cred = Get-Credential
# Create session
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Use session multiple times (faster than reconnecting)
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Service }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Process }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { ipconfig }
# Close when done
Remove-PSSession $session
================================================================================
CERTIFICATE TRUST ISSUE? (Self-Signed Certs)
================================================================================
If you get certificate errors, skip certificate validation (testing only):
# Create session option
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
# Use with any connection method:
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-SessionOption $sessionOption
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption `
-ScriptBlock { hostname }
================================================================================
CONNECTING TO MULTIPLE PCs
================================================================================
Test/connect to all shopfloor PCs:
# List of hostnames
$pcs = @("g1jjvh63esf", "g1jjxh63esf", "g9kn7pz3esf")
# Get credentials once
$cred = Get-Credential
# Test all PCs
foreach ($pc in $pcs) {
$fqdn = "$pc.logon.ds.ge.com"
Write-Host "Testing $fqdn..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
Test-WSMan -ComputerName $fqdn -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host " [OK] $fqdn is responding" -ForegroundColor Green
} catch {
Write-Host " [FAIL] $fqdn failed: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
================================================================================

================================================================================
WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES
================================================================================
When you run Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat:
1. ✓ Checks for Administrator privileges
2. ✓ Verifies Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 exists
3. ✓ Verifies wildcard-*.pfx certificate exists
4. ✓ Creates log directory if needed
5. ✓ Imports certificate to Local Machine store
6. ✓ Creates WinRM HTTPS listener on port 5986
7. ✓ Configures firewall rule for port 5986
8. ✓ Enables WinRM service
9. ✓ Logs all activity to S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\
================================================================================
EXPECTED RESULTS
================================================================================
Success Indicators:
✓ Console shows: [SUCCESS] WinRM HTTPS Setup Complete
✓ Log file created in S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\
✓ Certificate imported (check Cert:\LocalMachine\My)
✓ HTTPS listener active on port 5986
✓ Firewall rule "WinRM HTTPS-In" created
✓ Test-WSMan works from management server
Verify on Target PC:
# Check WinRM listeners
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Check certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"}
# Check firewall rule
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
If Deployment Fails:
1. Check Administrator Privileges
- Must right-click and "Run as Administrator"
2. Check Certificate File
- Must be in same folder as batch file
- Filename: wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx
- Password: XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5
3. Check Log File
- Location: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\HOSTNAME-*.txt
- Look for [ERROR] messages
- Check for certificate import errors
- Check for listener creation errors
4. Check Network Connectivity
- Can the PC reach S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\ ?
- Can the PC resolve DNS for *.logon.ds.ge.com ?
5. Check Existing Configuration
- Remove old HTTPS listeners:
winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS
================================================================================
RECENT FIXES APPLIED
================================================================================
✓ Fixed: WinRM listener creation command (now uses cmd.exe /c)
✓ Fixed: LogFile parameter added to Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
✓ Added: Auto-password version for testing convenience
✓ Added: Comprehensive logging to network share
✓ Added: Execution policy bypass in batch files
================================================================================
PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT (After Testing)
================================================================================
Once testing is successful on 3-5 PCs:
1. DELETE Auto-Password Version
- Remove Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat from network share
- Security risk if left accessible!
2. Use Secure Version for Production
- Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (prompts for password)
- More secure for 175 PC rollout
3. Track Progress
- Use CHECKLIST.txt to track deployments
- Review logs regularly
- Generate summary reports with View-DeploymentLogs.ps1
4. Batch Deployment
- Deploy in groups of 10-20 PCs
- Verify each batch before continuing
- Monitor log files for issues
================================================================================

AUTO-PASSWORD VERSION - FOR TESTING ONLY
================================================================================
FILE: Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat
This version contains the certificate password HARDCODED in the batch file.
================================================================================
WARNING - SECURITY RISK
================================================================================
This file should ONLY be used for:
- Initial testing on a few PCs
- Lab/development environments
- Quick proof-of-concept deployments
DO NOT USE for production deployment!
Risks:
- Password is visible in PLAINTEXT in the batch file
- Anyone who can read the file can see the password
- Password may be logged in command history
- Not compliant with security policies
================================================================================
HOW TO USE
================================================================================
1. Open Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat in Notepad
2. Find this line (around line 82):
set "CERT_PASSWORD=XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5"
3. Change to your actual password if different
4. Save the file
5. Run as Administrator:
Right-click Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat
Select "Run as Administrator"
6. No password prompt - it will use the hardcoded password!
================================================================================
AFTER TESTING
================================================================================
Once you've verified the deployment works:
1. Switch to the secure version: Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
(This version prompts for password securely)
2. DELETE Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat from network share
(To prevent unauthorized access)
3. For automation, use secure credential storage:
See: SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md
================================================================================
PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT
================================================================================
For production, use ONE of these methods:
Option 1: Interactive (Manual Deployment)
Use: Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat
- Prompts for password each time
- Most secure for manual deployment
Option 2: Encrypted Credentials (Automated)
- Store password encrypted with Export-Clixml
- See: SECURE_CREDENTIAL_MANAGEMENT.md
Option 3: Windows Credential Manager (Service Accounts)
- Use credentialmanager module
- Best for scheduled tasks
================================================================================
TESTING CHECKLIST
================================================================================
[ ] Test on 1-2 PCs with auto-password version
[ ] Verify HTTPS listener created successfully
[ ] Test remote connection from management server
[ ] Verify logging works correctly
[ ] Review log files for any errors
Once successful:
[ ] Delete auto-password version from share
[ ] Switch to secure version for remaining PCs
[ ] Document deployment process
[ ] Update asset inventory
================================================================================
FILE COMPARISON
================================================================================
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS.bat (SECURE)
- Prompts for password
- Password not stored anywhere
- Recommended for production
Deploy-WinRM-HTTPS-AutoPassword.bat (TESTING ONLY)
- Password hardcoded in file
- No password prompt
- Use for testing only

.SYNOPSIS
Sets up WinRM HTTPS configuration using a wildcard certificate.
.DESCRIPTION
This script configures WinRM for HTTPS connections using a wildcard certificate
(e.g., *.logon.ds.ge.com). It handles:
1. Certificate installation from PFX file
2. HTTPS listener creation with proper hostname
3. Firewall rule configuration for port 5986
4. WinRM service configuration
.PARAMETER CertificatePath
Path to the PFX certificate file containing the wildcard certificate.
.PARAMETER CertificatePassword
SecureString password for the PFX certificate file.
.PARAMETER Domain
The domain suffix for FQDNs (e.g., "logon.ds.ge.com").
Will construct FQDN as: hostname.domain
.PARAMETER CertificateThumbprint
Use existing certificate by thumbprint instead of importing from PFX.
.PARAMETER Port
HTTPS port for WinRM (default: 5986).
.PARAMETER SkipFirewall
Skip firewall rule creation.
.PARAMETER TestConnection
Test HTTPS connection after setup.
.EXAMPLE
# Import certificate and setup WinRM HTTPS
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssw0rd" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPass -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Use existing certificate by thumbprint
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint "AB123..." -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
.EXAMPLE
# Prompt for certificate password
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificatePath "C:\Certs\wildcard.pfx" -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"

# Testing Remote WinRM HTTPS Connections
## Quick Reference
### From Your Computer to Test PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF)
```powershell
# Test basic connectivity
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Interactive remote session
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Run single command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -ScriptBlock { hostname }
```
---
## Step-by-Step Testing Guide
### Step 1: Test Basic WinRM Connectivity
This is the simplest test - it just checks if WinRM HTTPS is responding:
```powershell
# Open PowerShell on your computer
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
**Expected Output** (Success):
```
wsmid : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0
```
**If it fails**, you'll see error messages. Common issues:
- Certificate trust issues
- Network connectivity
- Firewall blocking port 5986
- WinRM service not running
---
### Step 2: Test with Credentials (Basic Authentication)
Create a credential object and test connection:
```powershell
# Get credentials (will prompt for username/password)
$cred = Get-Credential
# When prompted, enter:
# Username: DOMAIN\username (or .\localadmin for local account)
# Password: your password
# Test connection with credentials
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 -Credential $cred
```
---
### Step 3: Interactive Remote Session (Enter-PSSession)
This gives you an interactive command prompt on the remote computer:
```powershell
# Create credential if not already done
$cred = Get-Credential
# Enter interactive session
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
```
**Expected Output**:
```
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\Users\username\Documents>
```
Notice your prompt changes to show `[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]:` - you're now on the remote PC!
**Try some commands**:
```powershell
# Check hostname
hostname
# Check IP configuration
ipconfig
# Check running services
Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq 'Running'}
# Check WinRM configuration
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Exit remote session
Exit-PSSession
```
---
### Step 4: Run Commands Remotely (Invoke-Command)
Execute commands on the remote PC without entering an interactive session:
```powershell
# Single command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock { hostname }
# Multiple commands
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock {
$hostname = hostname
$ip = (Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 | Where-Object {$_.IPAddress -notlike "127.*"})[0].IPAddress
[PSCustomObject]@{
Hostname = $hostname
IPAddress = $ip
WinRMStatus = (Get-Service WinRM).Status
}
}
```
---
### Step 5: Create Persistent Session (New-PSSession)
Create a session object for reuse:
```powershell
# Create session
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Check session
$session
# Use the session multiple times
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-ComputerInfo }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Service WinRM }
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10 }
# Close session when done
Remove-PSSession $session
```
**Benefits of persistent sessions**:
- Faster execution (connection is reused)
- Can maintain state between commands
- More efficient for multiple operations
---
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
### Issue 1: Certificate Trust Error
**Error**:
```
Test-WSMan : The SSL certificate contains a common name (CN) that does not match the hostname.
```
or
```
The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown certificate authority.
```
**Cause**: Your computer doesn't trust the self-signed certificate.
**Solution A - Skip Certificate Check (Testing Only)**:
```powershell
# Set session option to skip certificate validation
$sessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck
# Use with Test-WSMan
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
# Use with Enter-PSSession
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
# Use with Invoke-Command
Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption -ScriptBlock { hostname }
```
**Solution B - Install Certificate on Your Computer (Production)**:
```powershell
# Import the certificate to Trusted Root CAs on your computer
# This makes the certificate permanently trusted
# If you have the PFX file with password:
$certPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "XqHuyaLZSyCYEcpsMz6h5" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root `
-Password $certPassword
# Or export certificate from remote PC (without private key) and import:
# 1. On remote PC: Export certificate as .cer file
# 2. On your PC: Import to Trusted Root Certification Authorities
Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\wildcard-cert.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
```
---
### Issue 2: Authentication Failed
**Error**:
```
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com failed with the following error message :
Access is denied.
```
**Possible Causes**:
1. Wrong username/password
2. User not in local Administrators group on remote PC
3. User Account Control (UAC) filtering
**Solutions**:
```powershell
# Try with explicit domain
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName "DOMAIN\username" -Message "Enter password"
# Or try local administrator
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName ".\Administrator" -Message "Enter password"
# Or try with computer name
$cred = Get-Credential -UserName "G9KN7PZ3ESF\username" -Message "Enter password"
```
---
### Issue 3: Network Connection Failed
**Error**:
```
Test-WSMan : <f:WSManFault xmlns:f="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsmanfault" Code="2150858770"
Machine="localhost"><f:Message>The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if
the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled.
```
**Possible Causes**:
1. PC is offline/unreachable
2. Firewall blocking port 5986
3. DNS resolution issues
4. Wrong hostname
**Troubleshooting**:
```powershell
# Test basic network connectivity
Test-Connection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# Test DNS resolution
Resolve-DnsName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# Test port 5986 connectivity
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
# Try with IP address instead of hostname
Test-WSMan -ComputerName 192.168.x.x -UseSSL -Port 5986 -SessionOption $sessionOption
```
---
### Issue 4: WinRM Client Configuration
**Error**:
```
The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request.
```
**Solution**: Configure WinRM client settings on your computer:
```powershell
# Run as Administrator on your computer
# Enable basic authentication (if needed)
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\Auth\Basic -Value $true
# Add remote PC to trusted hosts (if not in same domain)
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com" -Concatenate
# Or add wildcard for all PCs
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "*.logon.ds.ge.com" -Concatenate
# View current trusted hosts
Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
```

WILDCARD CERTIFICATE FIX - IMPORTANT TECHNICAL DETAIL
================================================================================
Date: 2025-10-17
Issue: Certificate CN mismatch error during HTTPS listener creation
================================================================================
PROBLEM
================================================================================
When deploying WinRM HTTPS with wildcard certificate, received error:
"The WinRM client cannot process the request. The certificate CN and
the hostname that were provided do not match."
Error Number: -2144108311 (0x803380E9)
================================================================================
ROOT CAUSE
================================================================================
WinRM HTTPS listener creation requires the hostname parameter to EXACTLY match
the certificate's Common Name (CN).
Certificate Details:
- Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
- CN: *.logon.ds.ge.com (wildcard format)
Previous (Incorrect) Approach:
- Passed specific PC FQDN to listener: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
- WinRM compared: "*.logon.ds.ge.com" (cert CN) vs "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com" (hostname)
- Result: MISMATCH → Error
================================================================================
SOLUTION
================================================================================
The listener hostname parameter must use the EXACT CN from the certificate,
which is the wildcard format: *.logon.ds.ge.com
Fixed Code (Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1):
# Extract the CN value from certificate subject
if ($certSubject -match 'CN=([^,]+)') {
$certCN = $matches[1] # This captures "*.logon.ds.ge.com"
}
# Use the certificate CN (wildcard) for listener hostname
$listenerHostname = $certCN # "*.logon.ds.ge.com"
# Create listener with wildcard hostname
winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS
@{Hostname="*.logon.ds.ge.com";CertificateThumbprint="...";Port="5986"}
================================================================================
HOW IT WORKS
================================================================================
Listener Configuration:
- Listener Hostname: *.logon.ds.ge.com (wildcard)
- Certificate CN: *.logon.ds.ge.com (wildcard)
- Match: ✓ SUCCESS
Client Connection:
- Clients still connect using specific FQDN: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
- WinRM matches this against the wildcard: *.logon.ds.ge.com
- Certificate validation succeeds because wildcard covers all subdomains
Example:
# Client connects using specific hostname
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Server listener accepts because:
# - Listener hostname: *.logon.ds.ge.com
# - Client hostname: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# - Wildcard match: ✓ (g9kn7pz3esf matches *)
================================================================================
TECHNICAL DETAILS
================================================================================
WinRM Listener Hostname Validation:
1. WinRM creates listener with hostname="*.logon.ds.ge.com"
2. Certificate CN must match listener hostname EXACTLY
3. Wildcard CN "*.logon.ds.ge.com" = Listener hostname "*.logon.ds.ge.com" ✓
4. Listener accepts connections from any hostname matching *.logon.ds.ge.com
Certificate Validation During Connection:
1. Client connects to: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com:5986
2. Server presents certificate with CN: *.logon.ds.ge.com
3. Client validates: Does "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com" match "*.logon.ds.ge.com"?
4. Wildcard validation: ✓ YES (wildcard * matches "g9kn7pz3esf")
5. Connection succeeds
================================================================================
WHAT CHANGED IN THE SCRIPT
================================================================================
File: Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
Function: New-WinRMHTTPSListener
Changes:
1. Extract certificate CN from Subject field
2. Use certificate CN (wildcard) as listener hostname
3. Added logging to show both FQDN and listener hostname
4. Added explanatory notes in output
Before:
$winrmArgs = "create ... @{Hostname=`"$Hostname`";..."
# Where $Hostname = "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com"
After:
$listenerHostname = $certCN # "*.logon.ds.ge.com"
$winrmArgs = "create ... @{Hostname=`"$listenerHostname`";..."
================================================================================
TESTING THE FIX
================================================================================
On Target PC:
# Check listener configuration
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Should show:
Listener
Address = *
Transport = HTTPS
Port = 5986
Hostname = *.logon.ds.ge.com ← WILDCARD FORMAT
...
From Management Server:
# Test connection using specific hostname
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Should succeed because:
# - Server listener: *.logon.ds.ge.com
# - Client request: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# - Wildcard match: ✓
================================================================================
APPLIES TO ALL PCS
================================================================================
This fix applies to ALL 175 shopfloor PCs:
- All use the same wildcard certificate
- All listeners configured with: Hostname=*.logon.ds.ge.com
- All clients connect with specific FQDN: hostname.logon.ds.ge.com
- Wildcard matching works for all PCs
Example PCs:
- g1jjvh63esf.logon.ds.ge.com → matches *.logon.ds.ge.com ✓
- g1jjxh63esf.logon.ds.ge.com → matches *.logon.ds.ge.com ✓
- g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com → matches *.logon.ds.ge.com ✓
- ... (all 175 PCs match)
================================================================================
VERIFICATION COMMANDS
================================================================================
Check Listener Configuration:
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Look for:
Hostname = *.logon.ds.ge.com ← Must be wildcard!
Check Certificate:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*logon.ds.ge.com*"} |
Select-Object Subject, Thumbprint, NotAfter
Test Connection (from management server):
Test-WSMan -ComputerName HOSTNAME.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
Create Remote Session:
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HOSTNAME.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
================================================================================
STATUS
================================================================================
Fix Applied: ✓ YES
File Updated: Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
Ready for Testing: ✓ YES
Next Step: Re-run deployment on test PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF)
================================================================================
EXPECTED RESULTS
================================================================================
After running updated deployment script:
1. Certificate import: ✓ SUCCESS
Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
2. Listener creation: ✓ SUCCESS
Hostname: *.logon.ds.ge.com (wildcard)
3. Test connection: ✓ SUCCESS
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL
4. Remote session: ✓ SUCCESS
Enter-PSSession with -UseSSL flag
================================================================================
ADDITIONAL NOTES
================================================================================
- This is standard behavior for wildcard certificates with WinRM
- The listener hostname MUST match the certificate CN exactly
- Clients use specific FQDNs; wildcard matching happens automatically
- This approach is documented in Microsoft's WinRM HTTPS documentation
- No changes needed on client side (management server)
================================================================================
REFERENCES
================================================================================
WinRM Configuration:
- Listener Address: * (all IP addresses)
- Transport: HTTPS
- Port: 5986
- Hostname: *.logon.ds.ge.com (must match cert CN)
- Certificate Thumbprint: C1412765B2839E9081FCEA77BB1E6D8840203509
Wildcard Certificate:
- Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com
- Valid for: All subdomains of logon.ds.ge.com

AFTER RUNNING BULK CERTIFICATE SIGNING - WHAT'S NEXT?
================================================================================
You just ran: .\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1
Now you have 175 individual certificates ready to deploy!
================================================================================
WHAT YOU HAVE NOW
================================================================================
Folder created: pc-certificates\batch-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS\
Inside this folder:
- 175 PFX files (one per PC)
Example: G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx
- 175 CER files (public certificates)
Example: G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.cer
- certificate-list.csv (spreadsheet of all certificates)
- SUMMARY.txt (summary report)
================================================================================
NEXT STEP: DEPLOY TO ONE PC (TEST FIRST!)
================================================================================
Test on: G9KN7PZ3ESF
STEP 1: Copy Certificate to the PC
-----------------------------------
From YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
# Navigate to the certificate folder
cd pc-certificates\batch-*
# Copy to the test PC
Copy-Item "G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-*.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
If that doesn't work (network path issue):
- Copy the file to a USB drive
- Or use network share location
- Or RDP to the PC and copy directly
STEP 2: Import Certificate on the PC
-------------------------------------
ON THE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF), in PowerShell as Administrator:
# Import the certificate
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath "C:\Temp\G9KN7PZ3ESF-logon.ds.ge.com-20251017.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $certPass
# Show the certificate (verify it worked)
$cert | Format-List Subject, Issuer, Thumbprint, NotAfter
You should see:
Subject: CN=g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
Issuer: CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA
Thumbprint: (long string)
NotAfter: (expiration date)
STEP 3: Configure WinRM HTTPS
------------------------------
Still ON THE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF):
Option A - If you have Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 on the PC:
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 `
-CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
Option B - Manual configuration (if no script):
# Enable WinRM
Enable-PSRemoting -Force -SkipNetworkProfileCheck
# Remove old HTTPS listener (if exists)
winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS
# Create HTTPS listener with the certificate
$hostname = "g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com"
winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS `
"@{Hostname=`"$hostname`";CertificateThumbprint=`"$($cert.Thumbprint)`";Port=`"5986`"}"
# Create firewall rule
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" `
-Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5986 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
STEP 4: Verify Configuration on the PC
---------------------------------------
Still ON THE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF):
# Check WinRM service
Get-Service WinRM
# Should show: Running
# Check listeners
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Should show HTTPS listener on port 5986
# Hostname should be: g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
# Check port
netstat -an | findstr :5986
# Should show: 0.0.0.0:5986 LISTENING
# Check firewall
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
# Should show: Enabled = True
If any of these fail, run Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat on the PC!
STEP 5: Test Connection from YOUR Computer
-------------------------------------------
Back on YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
# Test basic connectivity
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
Expected output:
wsmid : http://schemas.dmtf.org/...
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/...
ProductVendor : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0
✅ SUCCESS! No certificate errors!
# Test interactive session
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
Expected result:
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\>
✅ You're now connected to the remote PC!
# Try some commands:
hostname
Get-Service WinRM
Exit-PSSession
================================================================================
IF TEST PC WORKS - DEPLOY TO MORE PCs
================================================================================
Deploy to 3-5 more PCs for additional testing:
- G1JJVH63ESF
- G1JJXH63ESF
- G1JKYH63ESF
- etc.
For each PC, repeat Steps 1-5 above.
================================================================================
BULK DEPLOYMENT TO ALL 175 PCs
================================================================================
Once 5+ PCs are working successfully, deploy to all remaining PCs.
Option A - Manual Deployment (Safe but slow):
- Deploy 10-20 PCs at a time
- Verify each batch works before continuing
- Track progress in a spreadsheet
Option B - Automated Deployment (Faster):
Create a deployment script:
$pcs = Get-Content "shopfloor-hostnames.txt"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
foreach ($pc in $pcs) {
$fqdn = "$pc.logon.ds.ge.com"
Write-Host "Deploying to $pc..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
# Copy certificate
$certFile = Get-ChildItem "pc-certificates\batch-*\$pc-*.pfx"
Copy-Item $certFile.FullName -Destination "\\$fqdn\C$\Temp\"
# Import and configure remotely
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $fqdn -ScriptBlock {
param($certPath, $certPassword)
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString $certPassword -AsPlainText -Force
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certPath `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -Password $pass
# Configure WinRM (add WinRM configuration commands here)
} -ArgumentList "C:\Temp\$($certFile.Name)", "PCCert2025!"
Write-Host " [OK] $pc deployed successfully" -ForegroundColor Green
} catch {
Write-Host " [ERROR] $pc failed: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
Note: You'd need to adapt this for your environment.
================================================================================
TRACKING DEPLOYMENT
================================================================================
Create a tracking spreadsheet with columns:
- Hostname
- Certificate Deployed (Yes/No/Date)
- WinRM Configured (Yes/No/Date)
- Connection Tested (Yes/No/Date)
- Notes
Use the certificate-list.csv as a starting point!
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
If a PC won't connect:
1. Copy Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat and Test-RemotePC-Debug.ps1 to that PC
2. Right-click Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat, "Run as Administrator"
3. Review the output to find the issue
Common problems:
❌ Port 5986 not listening → WinRM listener not created
❌ Certificate not found → Certificate not imported
❌ Firewall blocking → Firewall rule missing
❌ Wrong hostname in cert → Used wrong PFX file
================================================================================
VERIFICATION CHECKLIST
================================================================================
For each deployed PC, verify:
✓ Certificate imported (Cert:\LocalMachine\My)
✓ Certificate issued by "Shopfloor WinRM CA"
✓ WinRM service running
✓ HTTPS listener on port 5986
✓ Listener hostname matches PC FQDN
✓ Firewall rule enabled
✓ Port 5986 listening
✓ Can connect from management computer
✓ No certificate warnings
================================================================================
FINAL RESULT
================================================================================
After deploying all 175 PCs, you can connect to ANY of them with:
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName HOSTNAME.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
Clean, secure, no certificate bypasses!
Run commands on multiple PCs:
$computers = @("g9kn7pz3esf", "g1jjvh63esf", "g1jjxh63esf")
Invoke-Command -ComputerName ($computers | ForEach-Object {"$_.logon.ds.ge.com"}) `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock {
Get-Service WinRM | Select-Object Name, Status
}
Collect data from all 175 PCs in seconds!
================================================================================
SUMMARY
================================================================================
Next Steps After Bulk Signing:
1. ✅ Deploy to ONE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF) - TEST FIRST
2. ✅ Verify connection works
3. ✅ Deploy to 3-5 more PCs
4. ✅ Deploy to remaining PCs in batches
5. ✅ Track progress
6. ✅ Verify all deployments
7. ✅ Celebrate! 🎉

================================================================================
PART 2: DEPLOY TO THE REMOTE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF)
================================================================================
You have 3 deployment methods. Choose ONE:
METHOD 1: Network Share Deployment (EASIEST - Recommended)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Step 1: Copy files to network share (on YOUR computer)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> # Copy certificates
PS> Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates\" `
-Recurse
PS> # Copy deployment scripts
PS> Copy-Item "Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\"
PS> Copy-Item "Deploy-PCCertificate.bat" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\"
Step 2: Run deployment on the PC (ON G9KN7PZ3ESF)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Walk to PC G9KN7PZ3ESF (or RDP to it)
2. Open File Explorer
3. Navigate to: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\
4. RIGHT-CLICK: Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
5. Select: "Run as Administrator"
6. Enter password when prompted: PCCert2025!
7. Wait for "SUCCESS" message
✓ Script automatically:
- Finds G9KN7PZ3ESF certificate from network share
- Imports it to Local Machine store
- Configures WinRM HTTPS listener
- Creates firewall rule
- Logs to: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\LOGS\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.txt
METHOD 2: Copy Files Directly to PC (If network share not accessible)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Step 1: Copy files to PC (on YOUR computer)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> # Copy certificate
PS> Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
PS> # Copy setup script
PS> Copy-Item "Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
Step 2: Run setup on the PC (ON G9KN7PZ3ESF)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Walk to PC G9KN7PZ3ESF (or RDP to it)
2. Open PowerShell as Administrator
3. Run these commands:
PS> cd C:\Temp
PS> # Import certificate
PS> $certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
PS> $cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath (Get-Item "G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx").FullName `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $certPass
PS> # Configure WinRM
PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
PS> .\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 `
-CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint `
-Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
✓ Done - WinRM HTTPS configured
METHOD 3: Remote Deployment via PowerShell (If WinRM HTTP already works)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Step 1: Copy certificate to PC (on YOUR computer)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
Step 2: Import and configure remotely (on YOUR computer)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> $cred = Get-Credential
# Enter your domain credentials
PS> Invoke-Command -ComputerName G9KN7PZ3ESF -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock {
# Import certificate
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
$certFile = Get-Item "C:\Temp\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx"
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath $certFile.FullName `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $certPass
# Get hostname and FQDN
$hostname = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$fqdn = "$hostname.logon.ds.ge.com".ToLower()
# Enable WinRM
Enable-PSRemoting -Force -SkipNetworkProfileCheck
Set-Service WinRM -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service WinRM
# Remove old HTTPS listener
winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS 2>$null
# Create HTTPS listener
$winrmCmd = "create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS @{Hostname=`"$fqdn`";CertificateThumbprint=`"$($cert.Thumbprint)`";Port=`"5986`"}"
cmd.exe /c "winrm $winrmCmd"
# Create firewall rule
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" `
-Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5986 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -Force
Write-Host "WinRM HTTPS configured on $hostname" -ForegroundColor Green
}
✓ Done - Configured remotely
================================================================================
PART 3: VERIFY DEPLOYMENT ON THE PC (ON G9KN7PZ3ESF)
================================================================================
Option A: Quick Check (on the PC)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
Look for:
Listener
Address = *
Transport = HTTPS
Port = 5986
Hostname = g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
CertificateThumbprint = (long string)
✓ If you see HTTPS listener on port 5986 → Success!
Option B: Full Verification (on the PC)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Copy Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat to C:\Temp on the PC
2. Copy Test-RemotePC-Debug.ps1 to C:\Temp on the PC
3. Right-click Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat → "Run as Administrator"
4. Review the output
Check for:
✓ WinRM Service: Running
✓ HTTPS Listener on port 5986
✓ Port 5986 LISTENING
✓ Certificate in LocalMachine\My
✓ Firewall rule enabled
================================================================================
PART 4: TEST CONNECTION FROM YOUR COMPUTER (H2PRFM94)
================================================================================
Now test that YOU can connect to G9KN7PZ3ESF remotely.
Test 1: Basic WinRM Connectivity
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
EXPECTED OUTPUT (Success):
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ wsmid : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/... │

✅ SUCCESS = WinRM HTTPS is working!
POSSIBLE ERROR (Failure):
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Test-WSMan : The server certificate on the destination │
│ computer has the following errors: │
│ The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown CA. │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
FIX:
PS> # Install CA on your computer
PS> Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
Test 2: Interactive Remote Session
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> $cred = Get-Credential
# Enter your domain credentials (e.g., DOMAIN\username)
PS> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986
EXPECTED OUTPUT (Success):
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\> │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
✅ You're now connected to the remote PC!
Try these commands:
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\> hostname
G9KN7PZ3ESF
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\> Get-Service WinRM | Select-Object Status, Name

[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME
G9KN7PZ3ESF
[g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com]: PS C:\> Exit-PSSession
Test 3: Remote Command Execution
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Invoke-Command -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986 `
-ScriptBlock {
[PSCustomObject]@{
Hostname = $env:COMPUTERNAME
WinRMStatus = (Get-Service WinRM).Status
Uptime = (Get-Date) - (Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime
}
}
EXPECTED OUTPUT:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Hostname WinRMStatus Uptime │
│ -------- ----------- ------ │
│ G9KN7PZ3ESF Running 23:15:42.1234567 │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
✅ Remote commands work!
Test 4: No Certificate Bypass Needed
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NOTICE: You did NOT need to use:
❌ -SessionOption (no bypass needed!)
❌ -SkipCNCheck
❌ -SkipCACheck
❌ -SkipRevocationCheck
This is a CLEAN, SECURE connection because:
✓ Your computer trusts the CA
✓ Certificate is properly signed
✓ Certificate CN matches hostname
✓ Full SSL/TLS validation works
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
Problem: Test-WSMan fails with "cannot connect"
Solution:
1. Check PC is on network: ping g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
2. Check port reachable: Test-NetConnection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
3. On PC, verify listener: winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
4. On PC, verify port: netstat -an | findstr :5986
Problem: Test-WSMan fails with "SSL certificate signed by unknown CA"
Solution:
Install CA on YOUR computer:
PS> Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
Problem: Enter-PSSession fails with "Access Denied"
Solution:
1. Verify credentials are correct
2. Verify user has admin rights on remote PC
3. Check WinRM permissions: winrm get winrm/config/service
Problem: Port 5986 not listening on PC
Solution:
1. On PC: Get-Service WinRM (should be Running)
2. On PC: winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener (check for HTTPS)
3. Re-run Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 on the PC
Problem: Certificate not found during deployment
Solution:
1. Verify certificate exists in network share or C:\Temp
2. Check filename matches: HOSTNAME-logon.ds.ge.com-*.pfx
3. Verify hostname matches: $env:COMPUTERNAME on the PC
================================================================================
SUCCESS CHECKLIST
================================================================================
✓ CA created and installed on your computer
✓ Certificate signed for G9KN7PZ3ESF
✓ Certificate deployed to G9KN7PZ3ESF
✓ WinRM HTTPS configured on G9KN7PZ3ESF
✓ Test-WSMan succeeds from your computer
✓ Enter-PSSession connects successfully
✓ No certificate bypasses needed
✓ Remote commands execute properly
When ALL checks pass → Ready to deploy to remaining PCs!
================================================================================
NEXT STEPS
================================================================================
After successful test on G9KN7PZ3ESF:
1. Test 3-5 more PCs to confirm process
2. If all work, proceed to batch deployment
3. Use same method for all 175 PCs
4. Track progress in spreadsheet
See: COMPLETE-WORKFLOW.txt for full deployment strategy
================================================================================
SUMMARY - DEPLOYMENT METHODS
================================================================================
Method 1: Network Share (Recommended)
→ Copy certs + scripts to S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\
→ On each PC: Run Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
→ Automatic deployment with logging
Method 2: Direct Copy
→ Copy cert + script to PC via \\HOSTNAME\C$\Temp\
→ On PC: Run Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 manually
→ Manual but reliable
Method 3: Remote PowerShell
→ Copy cert, deploy via Invoke-Command
→ Requires existing WinRM HTTP access
→ Fastest for bulk deployment
Choose based on your environment and access methods.

.SYNOPSIS
Fixes WinRM HTTPS firewall rule to allow specific subnet(s)
.DESCRIPTION
Updates the existing "WinRM HTTPS-In" firewall rule to allow
connections from specified subnet(s). Use this to fix PCs that
were deployed before subnet restrictions were configured.
.PARAMETER AllowedSubnets
Comma-separated list of allowed remote subnets in CIDR notation
Default: "10.48.130.0/23" (management subnet)
Use "Any" to allow all subnets
.EXAMPLE
.\Fix-FirewallSubnet.ps1
Uses default subnet (10.48.130.0/23)
.EXAMPLE
.\Fix-FirewallSubnet.ps1 -AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23,10.134.48.0/24"
Allows multiple subnets
.EXAMPLE
.\Fix-FirewallSubnet.ps1 -AllowedSubnets "Any"

NETWORK SHARE DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
================================================================================
Network Share Location: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates
This guide shows how to deploy certificates from the network share to PCs.
================================================================================
SETUP (One Time)
================================================================================
STEP 1: Create CA and Sign Certificates (On Management Computer)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
cd C:\path\to\winrm-ca-scripts
# Create CA
.\Create-CA-Simple.ps1
# Install CA on your computer
Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
# Sign all 175 certificates
.\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1
STEP 2: Copy Certificates to Network Share
-------------------------------------------
# Copy the entire batch folder to network share
Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates\" `
-Recurse
STEP 3: Copy Deployment Scripts to Network Share
-------------------------------------------------
# Copy deployment scripts to network share
Copy-Item "Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\"
Copy-Item "Deploy-PCCertificate.bat" `
-Destination "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\"
STEP 4: Set Network Share Permissions
--------------------------------------
- Grant "Domain Computers" READ access to:
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates\
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\Deploy-PCCertificate.*
- Grant "Domain Computers" WRITE access to:
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\LOGS\
================================================================================
NETWORK SHARE STRUCTURE
================================================================================

│ ├── certificate-list.csv
│ └── SUMMARY.txt
└── LOGS\ # Log files
└── HOSTNAME-TIMESTAMP-CERT-DEPLOY.txt
================================================================================
DEPLOYMENT TO EACH PC (Method 1: Manual)
================================================================================
On each PC:
1. Navigate to: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\
2. Right-click: Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
3. Select: "Run as Administrator"
4. Enter certificate password: PCCert2025!
5. Wait for SUCCESS message
6. Done!
The script will:
✓ Find the certificate for this PC automatically
✓ Import it to Local Machine certificate store
✓ Configure WinRM HTTPS listener
✓ Create firewall rule
✓ Log everything to S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\LOGS\
================================================================================
DEPLOYMENT TO EACH PC (Method 2: Remote PowerShell)
================================================================================
From management computer, deploy to multiple PCs:
$pcs = Get-Content "shopfloor-hostnames.txt"
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
foreach ($pc in $pcs) {
Write-Host "Deploying to $pc..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
# Copy scripts to PC (if not using network share)
# OR just invoke from network share
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $pc -ScriptBlock {
& "S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\Deploy-PCCertificate.bat"
}
Write-Host "$pc complete!" -ForegroundColor Green
}
================================================================================
WHAT HAPPENS DURING DEPLOYMENT
================================================================================
1. Script checks network share access
→ S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates
2. Script finds certificate for this PC
→ Searches for: HOSTNAME-*.pfx
3. Script imports certificate
→ To: Cert:\LocalMachine\My
4. Script configures WinRM HTTPS
→ Listener on port 5986
→ Uses imported certificate
5. Script creates firewall rule
→ Allow inbound TCP 5986
6. Script logs everything
→ To: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\LOGS\HOSTNAME-TIMESTAMP-CERT-DEPLOY.txt
================================================================================
VERIFYING DEPLOYMENT
================================================================================
On the PC (after deployment):
# Check certificate
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My | Where-Object {
$_.Subject -like "*$env:COMPUTERNAME*"
}
# Check WinRM listener
winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
# Check firewall rule
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
# Check port listening
netstat -an | findstr :5986
From Management Computer:
# Test connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
# Create session
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `
-Credential $cred -UseSSL -Port 5986

============================================================================
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
Problem: "Cannot access network share"
Solution:
- Verify S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\ is accessible from the PC
- Check network connectivity
- Verify permissions (Domain Computers should have READ access)
Problem: "Certificate not found for HOSTNAME"
Solution:
- Verify certificate exists in S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates\batch-*\
- Check filename matches: HOSTNAME-logon.ds.ge.com-*.pfx
- Run Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1 if certificates weren't created
Problem: "Wrong password"
Solution:
- Default password is: PCCert2025!
- If you used different password, use that instead
Problem: "Port 5986 not listening after deployment"
Solution:
- Check deployment log in S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\LOGS\
- Run Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat on the PC
- Check for errors in listener creation
Problem: "Cannot connect from management computer"
Solution:
- Verify CA certificate is installed on management computer:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"}
- Test port: Test-NetConnection -ComputerName HOSTNAME -Port 5986
- Check firewall on both computers
================================================================================
BATCH DEPLOYMENT
================================================================================
To deploy to all 175 PCs at once:
Option 1: Group Policy (Recommended for large deployments)
- Create GPO that runs Deploy-PCCertificate.bat at startup
- Assign to OU containing shopfloor PCs
- PCs will deploy on next reboot
Option 2: PowerShell Remote Execution
- Use Invoke-Command to run deployment on multiple PCs
- Requires existing WinRM access (HTTP on 5985)
Option 3: Manual in Batches
- Deploy to 10-20 PCs at a time
- Verify each batch before continuing
- Track progress in spreadsheet
================================================================================
ADVANTAGES OF THIS APPROACH
================================================================================
✓ Centralized certificate storage (network share)
✓ Automatic certificate detection (finds correct cert for each PC)
✓ Self-contained deployment (one script does everything)
✓ Comprehensive logging (every deployment logged)
✓ Easy to deploy (just run the .bat file)
✓ Secure (each PC gets unique certificate)
✓ Clean connections (no -SessionOption needed)
================================================================================
SUMMARY
================================================================================
1. Sign certificates (once)
2. Copy to network share: S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\pc-certificates\
3. On each PC: Run Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
4. Connect cleanly from management computer
Simple and effective!

================================================================================
QUICK START
================================================================================
STEP 1: Create Certificate Authority
-------------------------------------
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94), as Administrator:
PS> cd C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-ca-scripts
PS> .\Create-CA-Simple.ps1
Enter password: ShopfloorCA2025!
Confirm password: ShopfloorCA2025!
Files created:
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.pfx (CA private key - KEEP SECURE!)
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.cer (CA public certificate)
- CA-INFO-YYYYMMDD.txt (Information)
STEP 2: Install CA on Your Computer
------------------------------------
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94), as Administrator:
PS> Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
This makes your computer trust all certificates signed by this CA!
STEP 3: Sign PC Certificates
-----------------------------
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94), as Administrator:
PS> $caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "ShopfloorCA2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
PS> $certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
PS> .\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1 `
-HostnameFile "C:\path\to\shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-CAPfxPath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.pfx" `
-CAPassword $caPass `
-CertificatePassword $certPass
Creates:
- pc-certificates/batch-TIMESTAMP/ (folder with 175 PFX files)
STEP 4: Debug Remote PC (If Issues)
------------------------------------
Copy Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat and Test-RemotePC-Debug.ps1 to the remote PC.
On the remote PC, right-click Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat and "Run as Administrator"

================================================================================
Problem: Cannot create CA
Solution: Make sure running as Administrator
Problem: Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1 fails
Solution: Check that CA PFX file exists and password is correct
Problem: Cannot connect to remote PC
Solution:
1. Run Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat on the remote PC
2. Check that port 5986 is listening
3. Check that HTTPS listener exists
4. Check that certificate is imported
5. Check that firewall rule exists
Problem: Certificate not trusted
Solution: Make sure CA certificate is installed on YOUR computer:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"}
================================================================================
PASSWORDS USED
================================================================================
CA Password: ShopfloorCA2025!
- Protects CA private key (PFX file)
- Keep secure!
PC Certificate Password: PCCert2025!
- Same password for all 175 PC certificates
- Used when importing certificates on PCs
================================================================================
SECURITY NOTES
================================================================================
1. CA Private Key (PFX file):
- KEEP SECURE! Can sign certificates for any PC
- Store in password manager or secure vault
- Never share via email or chat
2. CA Public Certificate (CER file):
- Safe to distribute to all management computers
- Install in Trusted Root Certification Authorities
3. PC Certificates:
- Each PC gets its own unique certificate
- All use same password for simplicity
- Only deploy to the specific PC (not others)

SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONS - WinRM HTTPS with Certificate Authority
================================================================================
Location: /home/camp/winrm-ca-scripts/
All scripts now auto-detect files automatically!
================================================================================
STEP 1: Create Certificate Authority
================================================================================
On Windows, in PowerShell as Administrator:
cd C:\path\to\winrm-ca-scripts
.\Create-CA-Simple.ps1
Enter password: ShopfloorCA2025!
Creates:
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx (CA private key)
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer (CA public cert)
================================================================================
STEP 2: Install CA on Your Computer
================================================================================
Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
(Replace date with actual file)
================================================================================
STEP 3: Sign All 175 PC Certificates
================================================================================
SIMPLE VERSION (Auto-detects everything):
.\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1
The script will:
✓ Automatically find shopfloor-hostnames.txt in current directory
✓ Automatically find the CA .pfx file
✓ Prompt for CA password
✓ Prompt for PC certificate password
✓ Sign all 175 certificates
Creates:
- pc-certificates/batch-TIMESTAMP/
- 175 PFX files (one per PC)
- certificate-list.csv
- SUMMARY.txt
================================================================================
WHAT CHANGED
================================================================================
BEFORE (Manual):
.\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1 `
-HostnameFile "shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-CAPfxPath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-20251017.pfx" `
-CAPassword $caPass `
-CertificatePassword $certPass
AFTER (Automatic):
.\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1
Much simpler! Just run it and answer the prompts.
================================================================================
DEPLOYING TO PCS
================================================================================
For each PC (example: G9KN7PZ3ESF):
1. Copy certificate to PC:
Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
2. On the PC, import:
$pass = Read-Host "Certificate Password" -AsSecureString
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath "C:\Temp\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $pass
3. Configure WinRM:
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
================================================================================

KEY OBSERVATIONS
================================================================================
Notice what you DON'T need:
❌ No -SessionOption parameter
❌ No -SkipCNCheck
❌ No -SkipCACheck
❌ No -SkipRevocationCheck
❌ No certificate bypass tricks
This is CLEAN and SECURE because:
✓ Your computer trusts the CA
✓ PC certificate is signed by trusted CA
✓ Certificate CN matches hostname
✓ Full certificate chain validation works
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
If Test-WSMan fails:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Copy Test-RemotePC-Debug.bat to the PC
2. Run it as Administrator on the PC
3. Review output to identify the issue
Common issues:
- Port 5986 not listening → Re-run Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1
- Certificate not found → Re-import certificate
- Firewall blocking → Check firewall rule
- DNS not resolving → Use IP address for testing
If connection works but certificate errors appear:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Check if CA is installed on YOUR computer:
PS> Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {
$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"
}
If not found:
PS> Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
================================================================================
SUCCESS CRITERIA
================================================================================
The test is successful when:
✓ Test-WSMan works without errors
✓ Enter-PSSession connects without -SessionOption
✓ No certificate warnings
✓ Remote commands execute successfully
✓ Connection is clean and secure
================================================================================
AFTER SUCCESSFUL TEST
================================================================================
Once ONE PC works perfectly:
1. Test 3-5 more PCs using same process
2. If all tests pass, proceed to full deployment
3. Deploy to remaining 170 PCs in batches
4. Use COMPLETE-WORKFLOW.txt for full deployment guide
================================================================================
TIME ESTIMATE
================================================================================
Total time to test ONE PC:
- Create CA: 5 minutes (one time)
- Install CA on your computer: 2 minutes (one time)
- Sign certificate for test PC: 2 minutes
- Deploy to PC: 5 minutes
- Verify configuration: 2 minutes
- Test connection: 3 minutes
─────────────────────────────────
Total: ~20 minutes for first PC
Subsequent PCs: ~4 minutes each (CA already created)
================================================================================
SUMMARY
================================================================================
Single PC Test Process:
1. Create CA (one time)
2. Install CA on your computer (one time)
3. Sign certificate for G9KN7PZ3ESF
4. Deploy certificate to G9KN7PZ3ESF
5. Test connection from your computer
6. Verify clean, secure connection
If successful → Deploy to all 175 PCs
If issues → Debug on test PC before continuing

================================================================================
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================
STEP 1: Copy Files to Windows
------------------------------
From Linux terminal:
# If you have direct access to Windows filesystem:
cp -r /tmp/winrm-ca-scripts /mnt/c/users/570005354/Downloads/
# OR use WinSCP, scp, or any file transfer method
STEP 2: Create Certificate Authority
-------------------------------------
On Windows, in PowerShell as Administrator:
cd C:\users\570005354\Downloads\winrm-ca-scripts
.\Create-CA-Simple.ps1
Enter password when prompted: ShopfloorCA2025!
This creates:
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.pfx (CA private key)
- Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.cer (CA public cert)
STEP 3: Install CA on Your Computer
------------------------------------
Still in PowerShell as Administrator:
Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
Replace YYYYMMDD with the actual date from Step 2.
STEP 4: Sign All 175 PC Certificates
-------------------------------------
Still in PowerShell as Administrator:
$caPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "ShopfloorCA2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
.\Sign-BulkCertificates.ps1 `
-HostnameFile "shopfloor-hostnames.txt" `
-CAPfxPath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-YYYYMMDD.pfx" `
-CAPassword $caPass `
-CertificatePassword $certPass
This creates pc-certificates/batch-TIMESTAMP/ folder with 175 certificates.
STEP 5: Test on ONE PC First
-----------------------------
Deploy to G9KN7PZ3ESF for testing:
A. Copy certificate to PC:
Copy-Item "pc-certificates\batch-*\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-Destination "\\G9KN7PZ3ESF\C$\Temp\"
B. On G9KN7PZ3ESF, import certificate:
$certPass = ConvertTo-SecureString "PCCert2025!" -AsPlainText -Force
$cert = Import-PfxCertificate `
-FilePath "C:\Temp\G9KN7PZ3ESF-*.pfx" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My `
-Password $certPass
C. Configure WinRM (if Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 is available):
.\Setup-WinRM-HTTPS.ps1 -CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint -Domain "logon.ds.ge.com"
STEP 6: Test Connection
------------------------
From YOUR computer:
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com `

================================================================================
SUBNET CONFIGURATION FOR WINRM HTTPS
================================================================================
The deployment scripts have been updated to allow specific subnets for WinRM
HTTPS access, addressing cross-subnet firewall restrictions.
================================================================================
DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
================================================================================
Management Subnet: 10.48.130.0/23
Shopfloor Subnet: 10.134.48.0/24
By default, the firewall rule allows connections from: 10.48.130.0/23
================================================================================
HOW IT WORKS
================================================================================
The Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 script now has an -AllowedSubnets parameter:
Default (built into batch file):
-AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23"
This creates a firewall rule that ONLY allows connections from your
management subnet (10.48.130.0/23).
================================================================================
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
================================================================================
Option 1: Single Subnet (Default - Most Secure)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Deploy-PCCertificate.bat automatically uses:
-AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23"
Only your management subnet can connect.
Option 2: Multiple Subnets
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Edit Deploy-PCCertificate.bat, line 80:
-AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23,10.134.48.0/24"
Allows both management and shopfloor subnets.
Option 3: Allow All Subnets
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Edit Deploy-PCCertificate.bat, line 80:
-AllowedSubnets "Any"
Allows connections from any IP address (less secure).
Option 4: Manual PowerShell Deployment
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If running PowerShell directly:
.\Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 -AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23"
.\Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 -AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23,10.50.0.0/16"
.\Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 -AllowedSubnets "Any"
================================================================================
FIXING G9KN7PZ3ESF (Already Deployed)
================================================================================
Since G9KN7PZ3ESF was deployed before this update, fix the firewall rule:
On G9KN7PZ3ESF:
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress "10.48.130.0/23"
Or to allow any:
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress Any
================================================================================
VERIFYING THE CONFIGURATION
================================================================================
On the PC (after deployment):
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" |
Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter |
Select-Object RemoteAddress
Expected Output:
RemoteAddress
-------------
10.48.130.0/23
From Management Computer:
Test-NetConnection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
Expected:
TcpTestSucceeded : True
================================================================================
SUBNET NOTATION (CIDR)
================================================================================
Examples:
10.48.130.0/23
- Network: 10.48.130.0
- Netmask: 255.255.254.0
- Range: 10.48.130.0 - 10.48.131.255
- 512 IP addresses
10.134.48.0/24
- Network: 10.134.48.0
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- Range: 10.134.48.0 - 10.134.48.255
- 256 IP addresses
10.0.0.0/8
- Entire 10.x.x.x private network
- All Class A private addresses
================================================================================
SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
================================================================================
Best Practice: Use Specific Subnets
✓ Only allow known management subnets
✓ Reduces attack surface
✓ Prevents unauthorized access from other networks
Acceptable: Multiple Known Subnets
✓ Allow management subnet + shopfloor subnet
✓ Useful for PC-to-PC communication on shopfloor
✓ Still restricted to known networks
Not Recommended: "Any"
❌ Allows connections from anywhere
❌ Higher security risk
❌ Only use for testing or isolated networks
================================================================================
DEPLOYING TO ALL 175 PCs
================================================================================
Since Deploy-PCCertificate.bat now includes -AllowedSubnets "10.48.130.0/23":
1. Copy updated Deploy-PCCertificate.bat to network share:
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
2. Copy updated Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 to network share:
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1
3. On each PC, run:
S:\dt\adata\script\deploy\Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
The firewall rule will automatically allow your management subnet.
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
Problem: TcpTestSucceeded = False after deployment
Solution:
1. Check firewall rule on PC:
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" | Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter
2. Verify your IP is in allowed subnet:
On your computer: ipconfig /all
Compare with allowed subnet
3. Update firewall rule if needed:
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress "your-subnet/mask"
Problem: Need to add another subnet
Solution:
On PC:
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress @("10.48.130.0/23", "10.50.0.0/16")
Or update Deploy-PCCertificate.bat for future deployments
Problem: Accidentally blocked management access
Solution:
1. Physically access the PC
2. Run: Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress "10.48.130.0/23"
3. Or temporarily allow all: Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -RemoteAddress Any
================================================================================
SUMMARY
================================================================================
✓ Deploy-PCCertificate.ps1 now supports -AllowedSubnets parameter
✓ Default: 10.48.130.0/23 (your management subnet)
✓ Can specify multiple subnets: "subnet1,subnet2,subnet3"
✓ Can allow all: "Any"
✓ Built into Deploy-PCCertificate.bat for automatic deployment
✓ More secure than allowing all subnets
✓ Solves cross-subnet firewall restriction issues

.SYNOPSIS
Sets network profile to Private for WinRM HTTPS connectivity
.DESCRIPTION
Changes the network connection profile from Public to Private.
This allows firewall rules to work more reliably for WinRM HTTPS.
Public profiles often have more restrictive firewall settings.

TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION ISSUES
================================================================================
Error: "WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified
computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the
network..."
This means WinRM can't reach the remote PC. Follow these steps:
================================================================================
STEP 1: VERIFY NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
================================================================================
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
A. Test DNS Resolution
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Resolve-DnsName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
Expected: Should return IP address (e.g., 10.134.48.255)
If fails:
- Try with just hostname: Resolve-DnsName G9KN7PZ3ESF
- Try with IP directly: Test-WSMan -ComputerName 10.134.48.255 -UseSSL -Port 5986
B. Test Basic Ping
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Test-Connection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Count 2
Expected: Should get replies
If fails:
- PC might be blocking ICMP (that's OK, continue)
- Try: Test-Connection G9KN7PZ3ESF
- Try IP: Test-Connection 10.134.48.255
C. Test Port 5986 Connectivity
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Test-NetConnection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
Expected:
ComputerName : g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
RemoteAddress : 10.134.48.255
RemotePort : 5986
InterfaceAlias : Ethernet
SourceAddress : 10.x.x.x
TcpTestSucceeded : True
If TcpTestSucceeded = False:
- Port 5986 is blocked by firewall
- Continue to STEP 2
================================================================================
STEP 2: CHECK FIREWALL ON REMOTE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF)
================================================================================
ON THE REMOTE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF):
A. Check Windows Firewall Rule
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" | Format-List
Expected:
DisplayName : WinRM HTTPS-In
Enabled : True
Direction : Inbound
Action : Allow
If Enabled = False:
PS> Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
B. Check Firewall Profile
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-NetFirewallProfile | Select-Object Name, Enabled
If firewall is ON for Public profile, the rule might not apply.
Fix:
PS> Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -Profile Any
C. Verify Port 5986 is Listening
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> netstat -an | findstr :5986
Expected:
TCP 0.0.0.0:5986 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP [::]:5986 [::]:0 LISTENING
If not listening:
- WinRM listener not created properly
- Re-run Deploy-PCCertificate.bat
D. Check WinRM Service
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-Service WinRM | Select-Object Status, StartType
Expected:
Status : Running
StartType : Automatic
If not running:
PS> Start-Service WinRM
PS> Set-Service WinRM -StartupType Automatic
================================================================================
STEP 3: CHECK NETWORK FIREWALL (Between PCs)
================================================================================
If local firewalls are OK but still can't connect:
A. Check if Corporate Firewall Blocks Port 5986
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Some networks block high ports or only allow specific ports.
Test from YOUR computer:
PS> Test-NetConnection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
If TcpTestSucceeded = False:
- Network firewall is blocking port 5986
- Contact network admin to allow TCP 5986 between management PC and shopfloor PCs
B. Check if Same Subnet
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WinRM public profile default only allows same subnet.
On YOUR computer:
PS> Get-NetIPAddress | Where-Object {$_.AddressFamily -eq 'IPv4' -and $_.IPAddress -notlike '169.*'}
On REMOTE PC:
PS> Get-NetIPAddress | Where-Object {$_.AddressFamily -eq 'IPv4' -and $_.IPAddress -notlike '169.*'}
Compare:
- Your IP: 10.x.y.z
- Remote IP: 10.134.48.255
If different subnets and Public profile:
- Either change network profile to Private/Domain
- Or configure firewall to allow remote subnet
================================================================================
STEP 4: ALTERNATIVE - USE IP ADDRESS INSTEAD OF FQDN
================================================================================
Sometimes DNS or certificate CN issues prevent FQDN connections.
From YOUR computer, try with IP:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Test-WSMan -ComputerName 10.134.48.255 -UseSSL -Port 5986
If this works but FQDN doesn't:
- DNS issue, use IP address for now
- Certificate CN might not match (but should work with proper CA)
================================================================================
STEP 5: CHECK YOUR COMPUTER'S WINRM CLIENT
================================================================================
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
A. Enable WinRM Client
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Enable-PSRemoting -Force
This configures YOUR computer as WinRM client.
B. Check WinRM Service on YOUR Computer
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-Service WinRM
Expected: Running
If not:
PS> Start-Service WinRM
C. Set Trusted Hosts (if needed)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Only needed if not using HTTPS with proper certificates.
Check current:
PS> Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
If blank and having issues:
PS> Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "*.logon.ds.ge.com" -Force
================================================================================
STEP 6: VERIFY CA CERTIFICATE ON YOUR COMPUTER
================================================================================
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
A. Check if CA is Installed
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {
$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"
}
Expected: Should show "CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA"
If NOT found:
PS> Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" `
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
B. Verify Certificate is Trusted
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PS> Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {
$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"
} | Format-List Subject, Thumbprint, NotAfter
Make sure:
- Subject matches: CN=Shopfloor WinRM CA
- NotAfter is in the future
- No errors
================================================================================
STEP 7: DIAGNOSTIC COMMANDS CHECKLIST
================================================================================
Run these in order on YOUR computer:
1. Test DNS:
PS> Resolve-DnsName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com
2. Test Ping:
PS> Test-Connection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Count 2
3. Test Port:
PS> Test-NetConnection g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -Port 5986
4. Check CA installed:
PS> Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\Root | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like "*Shopfloor*"}
5. Test WinRM:
PS> Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
Run these on REMOTE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF):
1. Check firewall:
PS> Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
2. Check port listening:
PS> netstat -an | findstr :5986
3. Check service:
PS> Get-Service WinRM
4. Check listener:
PS> winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
================================================================================
COMMON SOLUTIONS
================================================================================
Issue: TcpTestSucceeded = False
Solution:
1. On remote PC: Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -Profile Any
2. On remote PC: Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In"
3. Contact network admin if corporate firewall blocks port 5986
Issue: Certificate errors
Solution:
1. Install CA on your computer: Import-Certificate -FilePath "Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
2. Verify CA is in Trusted Root
Issue: DNS not resolving
Solution:
1. Use IP address: Test-WSMan -ComputerName 10.134.48.255 -UseSSL -Port 5986
2. Or use short hostname: Test-WSMan -ComputerName G9KN7PZ3ESF -UseSSL -Port 5986
Issue: Different subnets
Solution:
1. Change firewall rule profile: Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -Profile Any
2. Or configure firewall to allow your management PC's IP
================================================================================
QUICK FIX COMMANDS
================================================================================
On REMOTE PC (G9KN7PZ3ESF):
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Enable firewall rule for all profiles
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WinRM HTTPS-In" -Profile Any -Enabled True
# Restart WinRM service
Restart-Service WinRM
On YOUR computer (H2PRFM94):
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Enable WinRM client
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
# Install CA certificate (if not already)
Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\Shopfloor-WinRM-CA-*.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
# Test connection
Test-WSMan -ComputerName g9kn7pz3esf.logon.ds.ge.com -UseSSL -Port 5986
