I notice the logs are all from browser request but I can seem to find a request coming from my local IIS. regards Dom

  Re: Could not connect to the specified computer Reply Contact If the Startup type for the Web Mgmt service (WMSVC) is not set to Automatic, it could be that the service was stopped the last time patches were applied and the server was rebooted. Check the Services on the server and if the Web Mgmt service is Stopped, change it to Started and make sure the Automatic setting is chosen.  I hope this helps.
