Question : Win7 unable to remotely manage Win2k8 Full Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 DC. My workstation is a Windows 7 Professional ( retail - not beta ) and I've installed the Remote Administration Tool Set on the Windows 7 machine. I'm currently trying to connect to my Win2k8 Server via Server Manager on my Win7 machine. Unsuccessfully I might add. Both machines are in the same domain. I've configured WinRM on the Win2k8 Server via Local Group Policy, the service is started and running. I've attached the 'winrm get winrm/config' output for you to see. I've disabled the firewall on the Win2k8 DC too.  

I start up Server Manager on my Win7 machine and right click 'Server Manager' on the left hand side. I enter the server name when asked and press connect. After about 15 second, I get an error response saying 'Server manager cannot connect to .".

My username on the Win7 machine is part of the Domain Admins group, along with Administrators group. I have full Admin rights on the network to do anything.

Any help someone can give is greatly appreciated! :)
