Great. Have a look at below docs, it will help you to get it done easily. [Invoke-Command](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/invoke-command?view=powershell-5.1), read it full it will help you. Then have a look at example 9 in that link as well. Only after you finish it, look at below link.

As you say you’re in a domain environment, sometimes the easiest solution doesn’t involve PS at all: > **[Use Group Policy to remotely install software - Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/use-group-policy-to-install-software)** > > Describes how to use Group Policy to remotely install software. ---

I thought the same as you @jlogan3o13, however, he mentions “with ini file” and did not want to walk him down the path of using Orca to set up a manifest file to get that done. ---

Hmm … if you don’t have the permissions to implement a GPO, how is it you can run a script that requires admin on 50+ computers? I am just curious. ---

How about a little more information, please, to help us help you 😉 Are these physical machines or VMs? OS? Installing as the logged in user or a service account/SYSTEM? ---
