Certification Test Tool 1.2 for Azure WinRM cannot complete the operation

I'm currently trying to connect to my Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2012 Datacenter and connect to it via Certification Test Tool 1.2 for Azure. And always getting this error:

Connecting to remote server xyz-vm.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com failed with the following error message: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

I guess the tool is using PSRemot so I checked that:

I tested the connection via Test-WSMan and I got a connection: screenshot. But the connection with the Certification Test Tool still failed.

Even after turning the Firewall of the VM completely of, it didn't work

Thank you for your Help

According to @Shengbao Shui - MSFT

For a existing VM, you also check this blog. You need create a self-certificate and enable https.
