Hi,

I'm just trying to get a handle on what advantages using SSL gives you when using WinRM for remoting.

Lee confirmed that even using http the traffic is encrypted in this post

So now I'm trying to figure out what adding SSL provides the 2 things I can think of are

1. You should be able to trust the host as the cert should match the name so no need for set-Item wsman::localhost\client\TrustedHosts blah before connection.
2. all packet payload is encrypted so you don't even get the WinRM payload header info in a packet capture.

Am I missing something else?
