The following warning may be present in the Application Event Logs on the SMBR server:

Level: Warning
Event: 300, 
Source: PowerShell(PowerShell)

Provider Health: WinRM cannot process the configuration request.  The hostname pattern "*" is invalid.  Hostname patterns must contain one or more patterns.  A pattern can contain at most on wildcard ("*").  The special pattern "<local>" can be used to indicate all hostnames that do not have a ".".  To trust all hosts use "*" as the only pattern.
