title: New-PsSession fails with local account
body: <p>I am RDP'd into a workgroup computer and am trying to establish a PowerShell remoting session to a remote server, on a domain.</p>
  <p>When I try to connect to the remote server, using one of its local admin accounts, I get the following error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>new-pssession : [IP] Connecting to remote server IP failed with
  the following error message : Access is denied. For more information,
  see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>When I run connect using a domain admin account, the connetion works fine.</p>
  <pre><code>$domainCred = Get-Credential
  $localCred = Get-Credential
  
  PS C:\Users\ss_synadmin&gt; New-PSSession -ComputerName IP -Credential $localCred
  New-PSSession : [IP] Connecting to remote server IP failed with the following error message :
  Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
