How to enable credssp authentication on windows server using PowerShell?

Before enabling the credssp authentication for the windows server, we will first check the credssp status using the below command.

Get-ChildItem WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "CredSSP"}
   | Select Name, Value

Output

Name    Value
----    -----
CredSSP false

To enable the credssp,

PS C:\> Enable-WSManCredSSP -role server -Force

Output

cfg               : http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/config/service/auth
lang              : en-US
Basic             : false
Kerberos          : true
Negotiate         : true

}
