To connect to a computer remotely via PowerShell, the WinRM (Windows Remote Management service) must be enabled and configured on the remote client device (it is disabled by default). Communication between computers is performed over HTTP or HTTPS protocols, and all network traffic between computers is encrypted. You can use NTLM and Kerberos to authenticate on a remote computer.

In order to quickly enable and configure the computer for remote management via PowerShell Remoting and WinRM, run the command:

Enable-PSRemoting

To run a script on one or many remote computers, use the FilePath parameter of the Invoke-Command cmdlet. The script must be on or accessible to your local computer. The results are returned to your local computer.

For example, the following command runs the DiskCollect.ps1 script on the remote computers, Server01 and Server02.

Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01, Server02 -FilePath c:\Scripts\DiskCollect.ps1
