Enter-PSSession to remote server fails with “cannot find the computer”

Question

My desktop is win7 and I am trying to connect to a server 2012.
Both hosts are on the same domain.

If I do:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName *Serve         


        

Answer 1

This is most likely caused by your netbios name being different from the server's hostname. Try to connect with the netbios name instead.

• Determine the correct name by running the following command in powershell:

"$env:COMPUTERNAME.$env:USERDNSDOMAIN"
