Check if CredSSP is enabled with Powershell remotely

Question

I'm having trouble trying to check a list of remote machines if CredSSP is enabled. When my script connects to the machine and executes the command. It ends up returning false. If I connect to that same machine via RDP and execute the same command, it will return true. Here is my script:

foreach ($server in $servers.Split(",").Trim()) {
   $pw = ConvertTo-SecureString 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
   $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentList "Domain\user", $pw
   $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -Credential $cred

   $output = (Get-Item  WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth\CredSSP).value

   Write-Host $server : $output

   Remove-PSSession -Session $session
}

Does anyone have an insight into this?

You're not running Get-Item remotely.

Try:

$ServerList = $servers.Split(",").Trim();
$pw = ConvertTo-SecureString 'password' -AsPlainText -Force;
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentList "Domain\user", $pw;

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ServerList -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock { Get-Item  WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth\CredSSP; } |
    Select-Object PSComputerName, Value;

You could use Invoke-Command -Session $session instead Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ServerList, but there's no need to make a loop and mess around creating and removing sessions by hand.
