[New-DcnImage] Couldn't connect to host remotely.

[tcartwright]

Getting issues trying to connect to a remote server.

Setup:
dbaclone - 0.10.72
dbatools - 1.1.145
PSFramework - 1.7.270
Microsoft SQL Server 2019

I ran this:

Set-DcnConfiguration -InformationStore File -Path "\\servername\dbaclone\" -Force

Then I ran this:

New-DcnImage -SourceSqlInstance "servername" `
    -DestinationSqlInstance "servername" `
    -ImageNetworkPath "\\servername\dbaclone\images" `
    -Database SaveMoney_Log `
    -CreateFullBackup `
    -CopyOnlyBackup 

And I recieved:

WARNING: [15:40:02][New-DcnImage] Couldn't connect to host remotely.
Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer

I tested WinRM using this command

Test-WSMan -ComputerName "serverName"

and got:

wsmid           : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor   : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion  : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0

So, it appears that WinRM is working remotely, but it appears that the code cant connect remotely. Help?

I then remoted into the server and created some images locally. However, when I try to create clones from the remote machine using this script I get the following error.

New-DcnClone -SqlInstance "destinationServer" -CloneName name -Database new db -LatestImage 

WARNING: [15:55:09][Get-DcnImage] Could not reach image information location 'DCNJSONFolder:\'
WARNING: [15:55:09][New-DcnClone] There is no image for database 'SaveMoney'

• I switched to using sql instead of json once I figured out how the configuration worked.
• Then I also figured out that PS Remoting has to be enabled both on every single SQL server you connect to.

The help could be beefed up more to explain these things, which would be beneficial.
