All of the Windows PowerShell commands include a
-computer
command line switch that
you can use to access the remote system. If you have the appropriate rights on the remote system
using your current account, all you need to provide is the
-computer
command line switch because
Windows PowerShell will log you into the remote system automatically. However, if you don??™t
have the appropriate rights, then you can use
Get-Credential
command to obtain the proper
credentials and pass them to the server. Of course, using Windows PowerShell currently represents
a significant increase in complexity.
TIP
The current version of Windows PowerShell (1.0) has some limitations when it comes to
remoting. You often have to perform extra work to accomplish a specific task and not all cmdlets
work as well as they should on a remote system. Microsoft plans to fix many of these issues in
Windows PowerShell 2.0 and add some other goodies as well. You can read more about these proposed
updates at

. If you do use Windows PowerShell, make sure you get the 2.0
update when it becomes available.
