c# PowerShell Remoting Not Working On Server 2012 R2 With .Net 6

I have a c# application which uses powershell remoting to make connections to remote servers. I recently migrated it from .Net 4.6 to .Net 6.0. Everything works well on my dev system but it doesn't quite work on Server 2012 R2.

The code basically does this:

// using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
const string shellUri = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell"
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new (true, remoteAddress, remotePort, "/wsman", shellUri, remoteCredentials);

// this throws the exception:
var runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);

If I deploy the application onto a Server 2019 server it runs fine, so it's something specific to Server 2012 R2. Unfortunately this is the OS I'm stuck with so upgrading isn't an option.

I solved my own issue.

Out of habit I reused my existing deploy script which ran the following:

dotnet publish -c --self-contained=true $file --runtime win10-x64 --configuration Release

See the problem there? Fixed it by running the following:

dotnet publish -c --self-contained=true $file --runtime win81-x64 --configuration Release

Where the face-palm emogi...
