What is WinRM?
New in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008 (and Server 2008 Core) are WinRM & WinRS. Windows Remote Management (known as WinRM) is a handy new remote management service. WinRM is the "server" component of this remote management application and WinRS (Windows Remote Shell) is the "client" for WinRM, which runs on the remote computer attempting to remotely manage the WinRM server.
However, I should note that BOTH computers must have WinRM installed and enabled on them for WinRS to work and retrieve information from the remote system. While WinRM listens on port 80 by default, it doesn’t mean traffic is unencrypted. Traffic by default is only accepted by WinRM when it is encrypted using the Negotiate or Kerberos SSP. WinRM uses HTTP (TCP 80) or HTTPS (TCP 443). WinRM also includes helper code that lets the WinRM listener to share port 80 with IIS or any other application that may need to use that port.
What is WinRS?
Remote Shell, (WinRS) is used to execute a program on a remote host.
