But Still when I try to deploy CSharp application using Azure Devops Pipeline getting below error

[error]Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException: Deployment on one or more machines failed. System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Connecting to remote server xx.xx.xx.xx failed with the following error message : The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and is accepting requests. Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management service running on the destination, most commonly IIS or WinRM. If the destination is the WinRM service, run the following command on the destination to analyze and configure the WinRM service: "winrm quickconfig".

b. net stop winmgmt

Run the following commands.
a. Winmgmt /salvagerepository %windir%\System32\wbem
b. Winmgmt /resetrepository %windir%\System32\wbem
Re-enable the WMI service and then reboot the server to see how it goes.
a. sc config winmgmt start= auto

If the problem remains, then try the following steps to rebuild the repository:

Disable and stop the WMI service.
a. sc config winmgmt start= disabled (note that there is a blank between ‘=’ and ‘disabled’)
b. net stop winmgmt
Rename the repository folder (located at %windir%\System32\wbem\repository) to repository.old.
Re-enable the WMI service.
a. sc config winmgmt start= auto
Reboot the server to see if the problem remains.

If the problem remains, then try the following steps
Re-register all of the dlls and recompile the .mofs in the wbem folder and re-registering WMI Service and Provider. You can use the following script by saving to txt file then renaming to .bat and running from command prompt with admin right and changing focus to following directory: C:\Windows\System32\Wbem.
@echo off
sc config winmgmt start= disabled
net stop winmgmt /y
%systemdrive%
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
for /f %%s in (‘dir /b *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %
wmiprvse /regserver
winmgmt /regserver
sc config winmgmt start= auto
net start winmgmt
for /f %s in (‘dir /s /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s
b. Reboot the machine and test WMI
Warning: Rebuilding the WMI repository has resulted in some 3rd party products not working until their setup is re-run & their MOF re-added back to the repository.

If /salvagerepository or /resetrepository does not resolve the issue, then manually rebuild repository:
1. Change startup type to Window Management Instrumentation (WMI) Service to disabled
2. Stop the WMI Service; you may need to stop IP Helper Service first or other dependent services before it allows you to stop WMI Service
3. Rename the repository folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository to Repository.old
4. Open a CMD Prompt with elevated privileges
5. CD C:\windows\system32\wbem
6. for /f %s in (‘dir /b /s *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %s
7. Set the WMI Service type back to Automatic and start WMI Service
8. cd /d c:\ ((go to the root of the c drive, this is important))
9. for /f %s in (‘dir /s /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s
10. Reboot the server

Win2012 Possible Fix.
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\
Rename Repository to Repository.old
Locate a Repository.xxx folder from a date before WMI was broken and rename to Repository.
Reboot Server
