      All steps must be executed on powershell with administrator permissions and ran on target computers as well as connection initiator computers.


      Enabling PS Remoting

      Enable-PSRemoting -Force 
      

      Since this a workgroup setup, we need to configure the TrustedHosts settings on the computers in order to establish proper trusts.

      // if we trust the local lan completely
      Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts *
      
      // Enabling access to specific hosts via hostname or ip address just pass a comma separated list of hosts 
      Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts 'hostname1, hostname2 , ipaddress1'
      

      Restart the WinRM server to make changes take effect

      Restart-Service WinRM
      

      Accessing a remote PS Session

      Enter-PSSession -ComputerName  yourTargetHost -Credential yourUser

      After inserting your credentials the session should be ready! 😃

          In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

          Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

          SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.
