# WinRM Services Configuration

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

![Figure 1: Group Policy Management](https://377464071-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXhp08OmU8050PePmMgDt%2Fuploads%2F80IG4UMOrMJ5IX6007vU%2FWinRM%20Group%20Policy.png?alt=media\&token=e63039d9-be4a-4d21-8853-a32cbafb0206)

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
