Powershell restrict Remote access on Host

Question

I have three windows 2008 R2 servers; DEV, UAT and Live. I am deploying web apps between these servers, including IIS setup and config and database backup and restore via a PowerShell script. I use a powershell remote session. I would like to prevent any machine, other than my deployment machine, from creating a powershell remote session on the host, even if the user is authenticated. Is this possible?

I have looked extensively through the PSRemoting documentation and can't find anything helpful.

Thanks in advance

Read the below link to better understand what needs to be done but I think you need to set the trusted host on the remote servers.

This is an excerp from the blog.

On the Windows server Core box

Run the following commands on the console of the Server Core box to lower security:

WinRM set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
WinRM set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="<local>"} 
WinRM set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="RemoteHost"}

Where RemoteHost is the host you want to be able to connect to the server.
