What are PowerShell cmdlets and how to use them?

What is Windows PowerShell remoting and how does it work?
Using the WS-Management protocol, Windows PowerShell remoting lets you run any Windows PowerShell command on one or more remote computers. You can establish persistent connections, start interactive sessions, and run scripts on remote computers.
How do I run PowerShell commands against a remote computer?
PowerShell has many different ways to run commands against remote computers. In the last chapter, you saw how to remotely query WMI using the CIM cmdlets. PowerShell also includes several cmdlets that have a built-in ComputerName parameter.
Description
The Install-RemoteAccess cmdlet performs prerequisite checks for DirectAccess (DA) to ensure that it can be installed, installs DA for remote access (RA) (includes management of remote clients) or for management of remote clients only, installs VPN (both Remote Access VPN and site-to-site VPN), and installs Border Gateway Protocol Routing.
Examples
PS C:\>Install-RemoteAccess -PreRequisite Warning: The current user does not have the required permissions to configure WMI filtering in the domain. Verify permissions. Install-RemoteAccess : DirectAccess can only be configured by a user with local administrator permissions on the server.
Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
Outputs
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign ( #) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object. The RemoteAccessCommon object consists of the following properties:
Description
The Get-RemoteAccess cmdlet displays the configuration of DirectAccess (DA) and VPN (both Remote Access VPN and site-to-site VPN).
Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
Outputs

One-To-One Remoting
If you want your remote session to be interactive, then one-to-one remoting is what you want. This type of remoting is provided via the Enter-PSSession cmdlet.
One-To-Many Remoting
Sometimes you may need to perform a task interactively on a remote computer. But remoting is much more powerful when performing a task on multiple remote computers at the same time. Use the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a command against one or more remote computers at the same time.
PowerShell Sessions
In the last example in the previous section, I ran two commands using the Invoke-Command cmdlet. That means two separate sessions had to be set up and torn down to run those two commands.
Summary
In this chapter you've learned about PowerShell remoting, how to run commands in an interactive session with one remote computer, and how to run commands against multiple computers using one-to-many remoting. You've also learned the benefits of using a PowerShell session when running multiple commands against the same remote computer.
Description
The Get-RemoteAccessConfiguration cmdlet retrieves the configuration of a remote access role and returns the corresponding Windows PowerShell object.
Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
What is enable-psremoting cmdlet?

Indicates that this cmdlet enables remoting on client versions of the Windows operating system when the computer is on a public network. This parameter enables a firewall rule for public networks that allows remote access only from computers in the same local subnet.
Can you use psremoting on a computer?
You can use Enable-PSRemoting to enable PowerShell remoting on other supported versions of Windows and to re-enable remoting if it becomes disabled.

Can you use PowerShell to manage remote sessions?
By using the cmdlets installed with Windows PowerShell, you can establish and configure remote sessions both from the local and remote ends, create customized and restricted sessions, allow users to import commands from a remote session that actually run implicitly on the remote session, configure the security of a remote session, and much more.
Modules approach
place each logically different piece of functionality into the PowerShell module ( *.psm1) distribute the module to the remote machine and extend the PSModulePath variable to include the new modules location on a client machine, create a new session to the remote server, and use Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {...} in the script block start from Import-Module CustomModule - it will search the CustomModule on a remote machine and obviously will find it.
Scripts approach
place each logically different piece of functionality in a separate PowerShell script (*.ps1) on a client machine, create a new session to the remote server, and use Invoke-Command -Session $s -FilePath .\myscript.ps1 to load the functions defined in a script to the remote session use another Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {...} and refer to your custom functions - they will be there in a session.
