Good day all, hope the community can bail me out on this one.

We have a new employee, and when I want to create a new account on our domain server I get an unexpected error.

Unfortunately the "Windows help" doesnt lead very far in solving this.
I have tried manually going into the Exchange Management Console but it cannot find any exchange servers,

Long story short, it seems to be related to WinRM (Windows Remote Management) :

"Inner exception: Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."


When running WinRM qc I get the following:

WinRM already is set up to receive requests on this machine.
WSManFault
Message = The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid id and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled.
Error number: -2144108250 0x80338126


Should add that the other users are happily sending and receiving emails - so it must be some config related issue on the 'user creation' utility ?
 
Have you checked if the machine is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled?

Because that's what both of the messages asked of you and I can't see that you confirmed that you checked those yet.

It looks like the remote machine isn't responding for some reason (as per the message you're receiving). It has nothing to do with receiving/sending email as that happens on different ports.
 
Exchange management console on the SBS server giving this error?
 
Yes, machine is reachable and present in DNS.
Firewall ports have been opened and apps involved excluded
