 The WinRM over HTTPS protocol uses port 5986, which is not enabled by default on pre-configured Windows VMs offered on the Azure Marketplace. To enable this protocol, use the following steps to add a new rule to the network security group (NSG) with the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).  For more information about NSGs, see [Security Groups](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/security-overview).
