Fix "Unable to check the status of the firewall" of `Set-WSManQuickConfig`

Question

Why Enable-PSRemoting/Set-WSManQuickConfig can not "check the status of the firewall" running under Administrator on Windows 2012R2, Azure WebRole? How to fix this?

PS D:\Users\***User> enable-psremoting -force

WinRM is already set up to receive requests on this computer.

PS. Yes, there are:

• Error PSRemoting using Session and CredSSP. No clear solution
• Winrm quick config shows error . Rebooting/reimaging the instance does not help.
• https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2697738. Hotfix (2012 year!) is not installed but then it needs installed each deployment?
• https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849694.aspx. Has this message but that is for "client versions"
• http://terenceluk.blogspot.ru/2012/05/executing-command-winrm-quickconfig.html Restarting firewall does not help

Answer 1

In my case running this helped (manually creates the firewall rule):

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Windows Remote Management (HTTP-In)" dir=in action=allow service=any enable=yes profile=any localport=5985 protocol=tcp

Answer 2

I tried to enable winrm for ansible testing, nothing helped, the rules were in place. Changing the Windows display language from czech to english fixed my problem.
