I have a Shavlink agent binary from on-prem(VMWare) that has to be copied across to a Azure VM(s).

I used the public VM of the target Azure VM to perform the copy:

Copy-Item –Path "C:\ProgramData\LANDESK\Shavlik Protect\Console\DataFiles\STPlatformUpdater.exe" –Destination "D:\Shavlik-Agent\" –ToSession (New-PSSession –ComputerName a.b.c.d) 

Unfortunately, it gives error as below:

New-PSSession : [a.b.c.d] Connecting to remote server a.b.c.d. failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. Default authentication may be used with an IP address under the following conditions: the transport is HTTPS or the destination is in the TrustedHosts list, and explicit credentials are provided. Use winrm.cmd to configure TrustedHosts. Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated. For more information on how to set TrustedHosts run the following command: winrm help config. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again At line:1 char:142 + ... avlik-Agent\" –ToSession (New-PSSession –ComputerName a.b.c.d+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Copy-Item], ParameterBindingValidationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand 

On remote machine, I have enabled ports 5985 and 5986 wondering what I need to do to make it working?

you need to configure your winrm to trust the remote machine, easiest way of doing this is the following:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "a.b.c.d"
