Cluster Update asking to enable CredSSP
I installed Windows Admin Center, its great and working fine, but one of the things it advises me to do is to turn off CredSSP on servers, but when I use the Updates link on cluster page, it tells me...
Same here. i has been on every single version of WAC for my cluster. ever since upgraded to 1902, it has been broken!
just upgraded to WAC1906, same problem!
Why cant just someone design error message that is human understandable and suggested action to be able to fix?

WAC is a never-ending battle for us it seems.
We too were receiving the error, "Couldn't determine if the current user is a member of the Windows Admin Center CredSSP Administrators group. Error: Connecting to remote server wac1 failed with the following error message : The WS-Management service cannot process the request. Cannot find the microsoft.sme.powershell session configuration in the WSMan: drive on the wac1 computer. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."
We had this problem when we tried to use the HCI Updates and Diagnostics features, two features that rely on CredSSP, as well as when we tried to connect to the WAC server (itself) via Computer Management in WAC.
We tracked this down to having IPv6 enabled. When we ran `Disable-NetAdapterBinding -InterfaceAlias Ethernet -ComponentID ms_tcpip6` We could connect to the server.
However, after spending 6 hours figuring that out, we still couldn't use The HCI Updates and Diagnostics features (which we need because our HCI cluster also doesn't work correctly and we need to use Diagnostics to troubleshoot it). Now we're getting a different error, "The workflow to enable CredSSP has been completed, but there was an error. Exception: This operation was blocked by role based access control settings."
So I've kind of given up. There is even less I can find online for this problem. And this is the only posting I've found.
Are you running the Admin Center gateway in service mode on a server or in desktop mode on a client machine?
If you are running in service mode there are known issues with how implemented CredSSP configuration of the gateway. We are currently fixing those issues and will have a new release soon.
If you are running desktop mode and having issues can you reply with the results from Get-ExecutionPolicy?
The WAC gateway is running as a service on a Windows Server 2019 virtual machine. I will try running it on my workstation in desktop mode to get the diagnostics information. I didn't think about trying that.
