Enabling Windows Remote Management
If you??™re creating a subscription on a Windows Server 2008 instance that is not part
of a domain and you are subscribing yourself, you will first need to enable Windows
Remote Management (WRM) and then add your computer name to the list of trusted
hosts using the following sequence of commands:
winrm quickconfig -q
winrm set wimrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="%COMPUTERNAME%"}
Note that a reboot is required for this new configuration to take effect.

Hands-On Exercise: Creating an Event Log Subscription
Subscriptions are a good way to centralize event management. By subscribing to multiple
server event logs, you need to look at only one central location to view all log entries
in which you are interested, rather than having to connect to each server individually.
For this exercise, we??™re going to simplify things by subscribing to the computer we are
working on rather than a different computer.
1. Open Server Manager if you don??™t already have it open.
