Change SPP requirements for WinRM for AllowUnencrypt due to security issues

Currently ISPP requirements for Windows (SQL/Exchange/Windows File Indexing) say to set AllowUnencrypted to true :
winrm s winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
and
"Both servers must have a Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service that is listening on port 5985."

5985 is the HTTP port while 5986 would be the HTTPS one to be used if using "AllowUnencrypted = disabled"

This is a high security risk as all traffic using WinRM is not encrypted and also for most customers conflicting with the security policies enforced by GPOs.
As this is conflicting with the security policies, you either need a security exception or it's not possible to use ISPP with SQL, Exchange or windows File Indexing.

    This is also applicable for Hyper-V backup. All communication is also happening using WinRM and will be blocked if AllowUnencrypt is set to false.
