Session.Identify( _
[ ByVal flags ] _
)
Parameters

To send the request in authenticated mode use authentication constant from the WSManSessionFlags enumeration. To send in unauthenticated mode, use WSManFlagUseNoAuthentication. For more information, see Authentication Constants.

set WSMan = CreateObject("Wsman.Automation")
set Session = WSMan.CreateSession("Remote", _
WSMan.SessionFlagUseNoAuthentication)
