I am composing a script that will run on a domain controller (windows 2008 R2) checking OU user names but then going out to the users H: drive and checking permissions, both for the root folder and the users folder.

The share permission portion of the script, I would prefer to use Get-SMBShare as opposed to working with WmI. However, my script is running on Windows 2008, so I decided to use implicit remoting to import the modules I need from a Windows 2012 server to run the necessary commands I need.

I used this site as a guide.  
[Windows PowerShell: Implicit Remoting](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff720181.aspx)

Here are my commands (from the desktop of the windows 2008 Server, logged on with domain admin credentials):

```
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName w12-r12-01V
invoke-command {import-module smbshare} -session $session
Export-PSSession -Session $session -CommandName *-SMB* -OutputModule RemSMB -AllowClobber

    Directory: X:\Users\administrator.XXXX\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\RemSMB

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 1/14/2017 10:03 PM 99 RemSMB.format.ps1xml
-a---- 1/14/2017 10:03 PM 576 RemSMB.psd1
-a---- 1/14/2017 10:03 PM 96492 RemSMB.psm1

Remove-PSSession -Session $session
```

Then, when I try to import, the invoke method portion fails… I was successfully able to do an implicit remote using the ‘activedirectory’ module as the example, but ‘SMBShare’ module is failing.  
Is this possible with SMBSHARE module?

```

The problem is that the objects delivered by implicit remoting aren’t live. That means they lack methods, and The SMB module needs those. It’s really just wrapping CIM/WMI. So it won’t work well implicitly.
