Windows PowerShell Remote Management

Windows PowerShell V2 supports remote management of computers. Windows PowerShell V2 is the version of Windows PowerShell that is included with Windows 7. If you want to use a computer running an earlier version of Windows to manage Windows 7 using Windows PowerShell, it is necessary to update to Windows PowerShell V2 or later. You can only use Windows PowerShell to manage a computer remotely if you have configured the Windows Remote Management service as outlined earlier in this lesson. The syntax of remote Windows PowerShell commands is straightforward:

Icm hostname {powershell-command}

Tip Remember what command you need to execute on a computer if you want to configure the Remote Management Service to allow remote management through Windows PowerShell or WinRS.
