We need to use WinRM PowerShell Remoting from NSS to the NBU Master Server over SSL which runs on port 5986.

I have configured this with the required SSL certs and can manually create a session in PowerShell command line from NSS servers to the Master server. But, it appears that NSS isn’t using 5986 when a location is added in.

The admin guide notes the default ports 5985 (non-SSL) and 5986 (SSL) but nothing else. Is there a config somewhere where we can specify to use SSL?

The NSS Servers are in a DMZ and in a workgroup. 5985 is closed and security will only give us 5986 open.

You'll need to use the following when registering the location instead of the plain hostname to force the port:

 https://machineName:5986/wsman
