To enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM) using Group Policy, you must ensure the WinRM service is configured to start automatically, enable the specific WinRM Group Policy setting for remote management, and configure the Windows Defender Firewall to allow inbound remote administration exceptions.

Common mistakes.

• A. While related to WinRM, the "Allow Remote Shell access" setting specifically enables PowerShell Remoting, which is a particular use case of WinRM, but not the general "enable WinRM" action.
• D. This setting pertains to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections, not Windows Remote Management (WinRM).
• E. The Remote Registry service is used for remote registry access and is not a prerequisite for Windows Remote Management (WinRM) functionality.
