My desktop is win7 and I am trying to connect to a server 2012.
Both hosts are on the same domain.
If I do:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName *ServerName*** I get the following failure message from winrm
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server xxx failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occurred while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer xxx. Verify that the computer exists on the network and that the name provided is spelled correctly.*
It doesn't matter if I use just the server name or if I enter it fully qualified.
Both systems show $PSVersionTable.PSVersion 4 0 -1 -1
I have tried the various troubleshooting hints that I found i.e.
run Enable-PSRemoting -Force and also set TrustedHosts = * on both sides.
I also disabled the firewall service on both sides.
When I try to Enter-PSSession from the server to my desktop it works as desired.
But from my desktop to the server I always get the error message that the computer cannot be found.

To use the PSSession to interact directly with a remote computer, use the Enter-PSSession cmdlet. For more information, see about_PSSessions. You can run commands on a remote computer without creating a PSSession with the ComputerName parameters of Enter-PSSession or Invoke-Command .
Use a PSSession when you need a persistent connection to a remote computer. With a PSSession, you can run a series of commands that share data, such as the value of variables, the contents of a function, or the definition of an alias. You can run remote commands without creating a PSSession.
PowerShell remoting is enabled by default on Windows Server platforms. You can use Enable-PSRemoting to enable PowerShell remoting on other supported versions of Windows and to re-enable remoting if it becomes disabled. You have to run this command only one time on each computer that will receive commands.
After talking to our domain admin I think I found the cause of the problem.
The server is in a resource domain which only has a one way trust to the main OU.
This explains why I can do PS remoting from the server to the clients but not vice versa.
I found that I can use the IP address with the -Credential option in my case though which isn't nice but an acceptable workaround.
