10

I am following the instructions from Using PowerShell to connect and configure a device running Windows 10 IoT Core to access my Raspberry Pi 2 with Windows 10 IoT via PowerShell.

PS C:\> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName minwinpc -Credential minwinpc\Administrator

This then opens a window where I enter the default password.

Then after about two minutes, it fails with 

Enter-PSSession : Processing data from remote server minwinpc failed with the following error message: The WinRM
client cannot process the request because the server name cannot be resolved. For more information, see the
about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
At line:1 char:1
+ Enter-PSSession -ComputerName minwinpc -Credential minwinpc\Administrator
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (minwinpc:String) [Enter-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateRemoteRunspaceFailed

The Raspberry Pi 2 is, of course, up and running and I can access the website at http://minwinpc:8080

The development PC has windows 8.1 and is in the same subnet as the Raspberry Pi 2.

I already tried all the steps with the IP address instead of the hostname, but it gives the same error.

I had the same problem.

I visited this link - Setting up Windows 10 for IoT on your Raspberry Pi 2 - and cut/paste code to connect from there on to the powershell - it connected fine.

net start WinRM
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value MINWINPC
remove-module psreadline -force
Enter-PsSession -ComputerName MINWINPC -Credential MINWINPC\Administrator

Only difference was the remove-module psreadline -force line.

Wondering if that caused issues - How can I get an interactive login with Windows 10 IoT Core running on a Raspberry Pi?

I think Alex is Correct I closed and start power shell again and only difference I did was set the PC name all lower case (as its actual named)

net start WinRM
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value minwinpc
Enter-PsSession -ComputerName minwinpc -Credential minwinpc\Administrator

Did not use this line

remove-module psreadline -force

I had the same issue, I reformatted my SD card(using Diskpart) and then reinstalled the IoT core OS and ran Powershell and this time I didn't perform the code line: remove-module psreadline -force after it when I booted my device on the core watcher and deployed a solution to it, It works just fine and Powershell works as well after the deployment of the first program.
