How to run puppet bolt command remotely on Azure Virtual Machine through powershell


I'm trying to run below puppet bolt command for remote Azure VM through powershell.

bolt command run ipconfig --targets winrm://158.28.0.546 --no-ssl -user testuser123 -password test@84p

getting below error for above command in powershell

Failed on 192.168.0.140:

Timeout after 10 seconds connecting to 192.168.0.140

Failed on 1 target: 192.168.0.140

How to resolve above issue

Update 1:

WinRM enabled on remote Azure Virtual Machine. Even Firewall is disabled on Azure VM for public networks.

enter image description here

After adding DNS name in Azure Portal, I'm getting error as below

Failed to connect to https://testazurevm.westus.cloudapp.azure.com:5986/wsman:

No connection could be made because target machine actively refused it


Solution

  • For this issue, the error shows a timeout after trying to connect. Generally, it is because the port does not allow you to connect. And there should be two reasons as I know. One is that the firewall does not allow access from the port. Another is that the port does not be listened to.

    For you, you can check if the firewall allows the WinRM port and if the WinRM is enabled in the VM.
