Creating New Powershell Virtual Directories in Exchange 2013

I encountered the most bizarre issue: after removing my Powershell Virtual Directory, I could not for the life of me recreate the VD. I continually received the following error:

New-PSSession : [subdomain.mail.domain.com] Connecting to remote server mail.domain.com failed with the following
error message : The WinRM client sent a request to an HTTP server and got a response saying the requested HTTP URL was not available. This is usually returned by a HTTP server that does not support the WS-Management protocol. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

Nothing online was helping, until I read something randomly about adding the Exchange Snap-In in a regular Powershell window. So I typed the following in Powershell:

add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn

Bingo. Directory created.

Weird.
