    #Requires -Version 3.0
    
    # Configure a Windows host for remote management with Ansible
    # -----------------------------------------------------------
    #
    # This script checks the current WinRM (PS Remoting) configuration and makes
    # the necessary changes to allow Ansible to connect, authenticate and
    # execute PowerShell commands.
    #
    # All events are logged to the Windows EventLog, useful for unattended runs.
    #
    # Use option -Verbose in order to see the verbose output messages.
    #
    # Use option -CertValidityDays to specify how long this certificate is valid
    # starting from today. So you would specify -CertValidityDays 3650 to get
    # a 10-year valid certificate.
    #
    # Use option -ForceNewSSLCert if the system has been SysPreped and a new
    # SSL Certificate must be forced on the WinRM Listener when re-running this
    # script. This is necessary when a new SID and CN name is created.
    #
    # Use option -EnableCredSSP to enable CredSSP as an authentication option.
    #
    # Use option -DisableBasicAuth to disable basic authentication.
    #
    # Use option -SkipNetworkProfileCheck to skip the network profile check.
    # Without specifying this the script will only run if the device's interfaces
    # are in DOMAIN or PRIVATE zones.  Provide this switch if you want to enable
    # WinRM on a device with an interface in PUBLIC zone.
    #
    # Use option -SubjectName to specify the CN name of the certificate. This
    # defaults to the system's hostname and generally should not be specified.
