Pre-requisites for System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)

ASM manages resource on Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager through Windows Remote

Management (WinRM). Windows RM must be enabled on the SCVMM server and on Active Directory and

DNS servers used in SCVMM/HyperV deployments. ASM deployments support Active Directory and DNS

servers which exist on the same machine. If Active Directory and DNS servers exist on separate machines,

some manual tear down may be required to remove host entries from the DNS server. ASM requires

Windows RM to utilize default port and basic authentication. To enable these settings, on the SCVMM

server and on the Active Directory and DNS server used in Hyper-V deployments, open a Windows

PowerShell interface with administrator permissions and run the following commands:

winrm set winrm/config/client/auth '@{Basic="true"}'

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'

winrm set winrm/config/service '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'

The default amount of memory allocated for WinRM processes is limited to 150 MB. To avoid out of

memory errors, increase the memory size to 1024:

winrm set winrm/config/winrs '@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="1024"}'

For Windows 2008:

winrm quickconfig

NOTE: There is a known issue with WMF 3.0. The MaxMemoryPerShellMB configuration may be

ignored. For more information, see the Microsoft knowledge base article KB2842230. The fix for

Windows 8/Windows 2012 x64 (non R2) is available at the following link. The fix is not necessary for

Windows 2012 R2.
