g winrm.cmd command line tool or through Group Policy in order for it to listen
over the network. The WinRM service provides access to WMI data and enables even
t collection. Event collection and subscription to events require that the servi
ce is running. WinRM messages use HTTP and HTTPS as transports. The WinRM servic
e does not depend on IIS but is preconfigured to share a port with IIS on the sa
