  1. I ran into an issue creating the virtual directory as described. I get an error stating the following:

    New-PowerShellVirtualDirectory : An error occurred while creating the IIS virtual directory ‘IIS://servername.domain.local/W3SVC/1/ROOT/PowerShell’ on ‘server’.

    New-PowerShellVirtualDirectory -Name PowerShell -RequireSSL:$False
    CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (server\P…fault Web Site):ADObjectId) [New-PowerShellVirtualDirectory],

    Any suggestions?
