Get-DfsrBacklog cmdlet doesn't work from remote computer (pssession)

Question

Hi there!
I try to manage our Server 2012 R2 boxes from a Windows 7 remote machine using PowerShell. For some reason the cmdlet "Get-DFSRbacklog" seems not working remotly. The same cmdlet work when logging in locally to the server(s) with the
same credentials. UAC is turned off on the target machines and i have local admin permissions on this servers using my domain account.
What i do is:
Enter-PSSession <servername>
Get-DfsrBacklog -SourceComputerName <servername> -DestinationComputerName <servername>
Then i receive the following error:
Get-DfsrBacklog : Could not retrieve the backlog information. Replication group: "*" Replicated folder: "*" Source
computer: <servername> Destination computer: <servername> Confirm that you are running in an elevated Windows PowerShell
session and are a member of the local Administrators group on the destination computer. The destination computer must
also be accessible over the network, and have the DFSR service running. This cmdlet does not support WMI calls for the
following or earlier operating systems: Windows Server 2012. Details: WinRM cannot process the request. The following
error with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Kerberos authentication: A specified logon session does not
exist. It may already have been terminated.
 Possible causes are:
  -The user name or password specified are invalid.
  -Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
  -Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
  -The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
  -The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between the two domains.
 After checking for the above issues, try the following:
  -Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
  -Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts configuration setting or
use HTTPS transport.
 Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
   -For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help config.

Any ideas?

This article
suggests that you're logged into your Win7 management machine with local credentials. You should try the Get-DfsrBacklog command with domain credentials:
Client is in a domain: Attempting to connect to a remote server by using implicit credentials that are the local administrator's credentials on the client. Instead, use domain credentials that are recognized by the domain of the target server, or right-click
the server entry in the Servers tile, click Manage As, and then specify credentials of an administrator on the target server.
