Exchange 2016 Remote PowerShell Access Issue

Started having troubles using remote PowerShell when connecting to Exchange 2016 servers...

I am able to connect initially, but then after about 60 seconds we receive the following error...


Get-ExchangeServer | Select Name,AdminDisplayVersion | Sort Name
Starting a command on the remote server failed with the following error message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.


I know I have permissions since I am in the Org Mgmt group and I'm a Domain Admin.

What else could be causing this?

Have you enabled remote powershell access on the other servers? You need to run winrm quickconfig on the servers to open the listener. You can enable it with more security if you like.

I haven't confirmed winrm but the issue is across all the 2016 servers. I can connect to one server, run a command, 2 mins later Access Denied. Log onto different server, run a command, 2 mins later, Access Denied... the same with all 6 other servers...  


If I RDP into the servers and run the Exchange 2016 EMS, no issues... just trying to manage exchange from my client (same experience for all others trying the same). Not just me.
