# DISCLAIMER - This is provided as a method to interface with HTTPS endpoints configured
# with an invalid certificate as is common during the development process. This is not 
# intended or recommended to be used in a production scenario for obvious security reasons.

# Also, I did not write the C# code. Props to kd0shk and the Powershell subreddit for the C# snippet.

# Both of these approaches won't work in PowerShell core and is not required as built-in
# request cmdlets now have the -SkipCertificateCheck parameter
# (e.g. Invoke-WebRequest -SkipCertificateCheck https://server.withbadcert.domain.tld)

.SYNOPSIS
  Configures a secure WinRM listener over HTTPS to enable
  SSL-based WinRM communications. This script has not been
  tested on Windows Server 2003R2 or earier, and may not
  work on these OSes for a variety of reasons.

  If Windows Remote Management is disabled (e.g. service
  stopped, GPO Policy, etc.), this script will likely fail.
