I can able to get the instance-id from AWS EC2 windows machine's IE browser using the URL http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id
In the same machine when I use Powershell command
Invoke-WebRequest http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id
then I am getting below error
Invoke-WebRequest : Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. For assistance, contact your network support team. At line:1 char:1

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand
Note: Invoke-WebRequest http://google.com is working and giving the response from PowerShell cmd.
Please anyone clarify what is this error.
What exactly does this need to do? Download data from the URL? I've never seen such a think before, but I would THINK you could use the System.Web.Uri class to do it, like so:
$var = New-Object System.Web.Uri
$var.Download("http://169.254.169.154/latest/meta-data/instance-id")
Does something like that work?

I am are trying to run a Powershell script from one Windows VM and accessing another Windows VM.
But I am getting the following error. I have verified almost all the forums and made essential configurations but no luck. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this error ?

I tried the Enable-PSRemoting in powershell, Windows 10 Pro, configured in Azure VM.
But the command fails with the following error :
WinRM has been updated to receive requests.
WinRM service type changed successfully.

Can someone help to mitigate this?
I just missed the statment in the error :

connection types on this machine is set to Public. Change the network connection type to either Domain or Private and
try again.
Turning the network to Private from public did the job
I am trying to start a new remote session, using Powershell, to a server that is part of a dev domain. There is no trust between these two servers.

I have enabled WinRM using Enable-PSRemoting and also added my local PC as a trusted system on the remote system using
Set-item wsman:localhost\client\trustedhosts -value.
If I use the IP address of the remote server, I get following error:

I logged in to my client's server (Windows 2008 Server Standard) and tried to download something in command line. So I use the following command:
Invoke-WebRequest "http://www.example.com/somthing.cab
But then I got the following error message:
Invoke-WebRequest : Authorization Required
Description: Authorization is required for access to this proxy
At line:1 char:1
+ Invoke-WebRequest "http://www.example.com/something.cab"

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand
Moreover I am able to download that file in IE and IE doesn't use any proxy server. None of other command line tool can download via HTTP or HTTPS protocol (FTP is downloadable). There is no environment variable that specifies any proxy server.
What is the default proxy of Invoke-WebRequest and how do I know the proxy server ip address and port number and if it is an NTLM proxy server ?
Thanks
I'm trying to execute the following statement on remoter server:

but I get an error message:

What is the reason for this and how to fix it?
There is 2 basical reason:
1) remote computer has not Powershell installed
2) PSremoting is not enabled on remote PC (to enable it read my comment in you answer)
