+#### Port Configuration
+
+Delete the unencrypted WinRM endpoint:
+
+```powershell
+winrm delete winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP
+```
+
+On Rackspace hosts, it is necessary to change the port to match the value found in secrets (change 12345):
+
+```powershell
+winrm set winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS '@{Port="12345"}'
+```
+
+On Azure, changing the ports is done in the Load Balancer configuration using the Azure Portal.
+
+To see the status of running listeners:
+
+```powershell
+winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
+```
+
+#### Test
+
 Test the connection to the target machine with `ansible HOST -m win_ping -vvvv`. If there is any issue, please refer to the official Ansible documentation in [Setting up a Windows Host][].
