Question

_{Monday, March 27, 2017 7:08 PM}

Hi...I would like to get Admin group members in multiple server 2008 R2 using powershell script that's mentioned below. Its working fine in server 2012

$Output = 'C:\temp\Result.txt'
$Servers= Get-Content 'C:\temp\ServerNames.txt'
$ScriptBlock = {
    $Groups = Get-WmiObject Win32_GroupUser -ComputerName $Using:ServerName
    $LocalAdmins = $Groups | Where GroupComponent –like '*"Administrators"'
    $LocalAdmins | ForEach-Object {  
        If($_.partcomponent –match ".+Domain\=(.+)\,Name\=(.+)$"){  
            $matches[1].trim('"') + "\" + $matches[2].trim('"')
        }
    }
}
ForEach ($ServerName in $Servers) {

# 1. To get Local Administrators group Members

    "Local Admin group members in $ServerName" | Out-File $Output -Append
    Invoke-command -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock -ComputerName $ServerName | Out-File $Output -Append

# 2. Local user information

Write-Output "Local user information" | out-file $Output -Append

Get-WmiObject -class Win32_UserAccount -ComputerName $Servers -Namespace "root\cimv2" -Filter "LocalAccount='True'" | out-file $Output -Append

}

But when I run in server 2008 R2, I am getting error as mentioned below, I also checked if Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) is running and its running. I also ran winrm quick config...

Any other suggestions would you like suggest for that script to connect to multiple remote server 2008 R2 servers. 

Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and is accepting requests. Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management service running on the destination, most commonly IIS or WinRM. If the destination is the WinRM service, run the following command on the destination to analyze and configure theWinRM service: "winrm quickconfig". 
For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [], PSRemotingTransportException

You have to fix or enable remoting on the 2008 server.

Hi，

Please also checking if the firewall has allowed the access for remote access.

Best regards,

Enable-PSRemoting –force worked fine. This enabled WinRM & configured Firewall exception. Thanks JRV & Andy.
