Cannot create remote powershell session after Enable-PSRemoting

I was receiving the same problem when remoting to a server and found this blog post very helpful - http://jeffgraves.me/2013/10/14/powershell-remoting/

For my specific case I did the following:

On the Local machine

1. winrm quickconfig (although this was already configured)
2. winrm s winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="myservername.domain"}'

On the Remote machine

1. enable-psremoting -force
2. Set-PSSessionConfiguration -ShowSecurityDescriptorUI -Name Microsoft.PowerShell -Force

I got around this problem by using a fully qualified logon. Instead of "netbiosdomain\accountname", I used fqdn\accountname, as in Microsoft.com\myaccount in the get-credential prompt. May not work for everyone, but it's worth a shot.

This is how I do it. I use this on my scripts.
