Key
-NoEncryption
Do not use encryption when doing remote operations over HTTP.
Unencrypted traffic is not allowed by default and must be enabled in the local configuration.
-OperationTimeout Int32
The timeout in milliseconds for the WS-Management operation.
-ProxyAccessType ProxyAccessType
Specifies the mechanism by which the proxy server is located.
Possible values are:
ProxyIEConfig - Use the Internet Explorer proxy configuration for the current user.
This is the default setting.
ProxyWinHttpConfig - The WSMan client uses the proxy settings configured for WinHTTP,
using the ProxyCfg.exe utility.
ProxyAutoDetect - Force auto-detection of a proxy server.
ProxyNoProxyServer - Do not use a proxy server.
All all host names will be resolved locally.
-ProxyAuthentication string
The authentication method to use at the proxy.
Possible values are:
Basic The user name and password are sent in clear-text.
Digest A challenge-response scheme that uses a server-specified
data string for the challenge.
Negotiate A challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server
or proxy to determine which scheme to use for authentication.(default)
Examples are the Kerberos protocol and NTLM.
-ProxyCredential PSCredential
Specifies a user account that has permission to gain access through an intermediate web proxy.
-SPNPort Int32
Specifies a port number to append to the connection Service Principal Name SPN of the
remote server. An SPN is used when the authentication mechanism is Kerberos or Negotiate.
-SkipCACheck
Do not validate that the server certificate is signed by a trusted certificate
authority (CA) when connecting over HTTPS. Use this option only when the remote
computer is trusted by other means, for example, if the remote computer is part
of a network that is physically secure and isolated or the remote computer is
listed as a trusted host in the WS-Management configuration.
-SkipCNCheck
Specifies that the certificate common name (CN) of the server does not need to
match the hostname of the server. This is used only in remote operations using HTTPS.
This option should only be used for trusted computers.
-SkipRevocationCheck
Do not validate the revocation status on the server certificate.
-SPNPort int
A port number to append to the connection Service Principal Name SPN
of the remote server. An SPN is used with Kerberos or Negotiate authentication.
-UseUTF16
Encode the request in UTF16 format rather than UTF8 format. The default is UTF8 encoding.
New-WSManSessionOption reduces the number of parameters required by other cmdlets and allows the settings to be stored in a variable and reused.
Copy a file from server64 to the local machine using SSL and skipping the CA check:
PS C:\> $skip = New-WSManSessionOption -SkipCACheck
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -useSSL -SessionOption $skip server64 {Get-Content -encoding byte -ReadCount 0 "E:\makecert.exe"} | Set-Content -encoding byte C:\Documents\makecert.exe

Connect-WSMan Connect to the WinRM service on a remote computer.
Invoke-WSManAction - Invoke an action on a specified object.
Get-WSManInstance Display management information (XML or value).
Set-WSManInstance - Modify the management information related to a resource.
