Just looking for some tips on writing a script to execute a batch file on a remote server. I don’t to use the PsExec tool as I want users to be able to run the script easily.  
I read on a technet forum that you create a process using an object to execute the batch file.

Thanks!

Hi Byron,

Please check out the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run scripts on one or more remote servers.

```
Get-Help Invoke-Command
Get-Help Invoke-Command -Examples
```

```
Invoke-Command -ComputerName MyRemoteServer -ScriptBlock { $env:COMPUTERNAME }
```

Best,  
Daniel
