# WinRM Services Configuration

Use Domain Group Policy to apply these settings to multiple windows machines.

If configuring manually, run the following commands on each monitored machine:

1. Make sure WinRM is enabled. Run the following command:

```
winrm quickconfig
```

2. Enable **AllowUnencrypted**. Run the following command:

```
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
```

3. Add **Gateway** host to WinRM trusted hosts. Run the following command:

```
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="<Gateway Host 1>,<Gateway Host 2>,..."}
```

Please make sure the failover Gateway Host (when configured) is included.

4. Enable **Basic Authentication**. (Optional)

If the monitored Windows host is a standalone computer (not part of a Domain), the Basic authentication must be enabled. Run the following command:

```
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
```

5. Verify if WinRM is running by opening Services.msc

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.itconductor.com/user-guide/monitoring/infrastructure/os/windows-system/winrm-adapter-configuration/winrm-services-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
