Scenario:
Your attempt to remote using PowerShell fails with this message:
Cannot access the local farm. Verify that the local farm is properly configured, currently available, and that you have the appropriate permissions to access the database before trying again.

#Enable Windows PowerShell Remoting Enable-PSRemoting -Force #Enable CredSSP support Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Server -Force #Increase memory limit for remote shell Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000
2. On the client machine run the following PowerShell script:
#enable CredSSP on the client: Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Client -DelegateComputer * -Force Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentials -Name WSMan -Value WSMAN/* Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentialsDomain -Name WSMan -Value WSMAN/*
