- I disabled the firewall on the machine.
- I ran
enable-PSRemoting -force
- I even set the GPO with
Allow remote server management through WinRM
to enabled with *
I keep getting:
Fail to rename computer 'ADMINIS-ID1PS7V' to 'SERVER1' due to the following exception: Access is denied.
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (ADMINIS-ID1PS7V:String) [Rename-Computer], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FailToRenameComputer,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RenameComputerCommand
+ PSComputerName : ADMINIS-ID1PS7V
Why are you remoting (invoke-command) to use a cmdlet which has a -computername parameter? Have you tried running the command directly?
